0318.125HXP Circuit Protection

0318.125HXP Fuses

0318.125HXP fuses are designed to protect electrical circuits from overload, short circuit and ground fault conditions. They are used in medium voltage (MV) circuit applications, where the current ranges from 6A to 100A. The fuse operates by interrupting current flow when it is overloaded or has experienced a short circuit or ground fault.

Application Field

0318.125HXP fuses are designed to be used in different medium voltage applications, such as power distributions, HV/MV substations, cables, switch gear, power transformers, industrial plants and high rise buildings.

Working Principle

The 0318.125HXP fuses have a special combination of wire and ceramic material to control current flow and protect the circuit. When current flow exceeds the fuse rating, the ceramic element heats up and melts the wires, creating an open circuit which interrupts the current flow. This prevents further damage to the protected circuit and prevents fire due to overheating.

Advantages

0318.125HXP fuses offer several advantages, including their small physical size, which enables them to be used in compact MV/HV components. Their high-speed operation also ensures quick circuit protection and minimal equipment damage. They are also durable, with a long life expectancy and low maintenance costs.

Conclusion

0318.125HXP fuses are an important component used in many medium voltage applications. They offer the advantages of small size, high speed operation, long life and low maintenance costs. With the right combination of wire and ceramic material, they provide effective protection from overload, short circuit and ground fault conditions.
