0324001.H

0324001.H Application Field and Working Principle

The 0324001.H Fuse is a general purpose fuse which is mainly used for the protection of small electronic LED components and circuits. It meets the UL and CSA requirements for IEC and CSA standards and is usually found in 110V AC or 220V AC installations. The fuse has a low melting point and is often used in applications where the load would be too small for a higher melting point fuse.

Identifying the Fuse

The 0324001.H Fuse has set itself apart in terms of its size and physical characteristics. It is typically 5/8” (1.6cm) in diameter and ¾” (1.9cm) in length. The body of the fuse is cylindrical in shape and made of a tough, heat-resistant material. Its slots are internally threaded so that they fit securely and can withstand high temperature and vibration. It has a designation of 0324001.H, which will be stamped upon it.

Fuse Ratings

The 0324001.H Fuse is rated up to 6 amps and its voltage ratings are 125 volts AC, 250 volts AC and 250 volt DC. Options are also available for 500 volt AC/DC and 600 voltage AC/DC. It is also classified as a slow blow fuse, meaning that it is designed to withstand infrequent or higher than usual inrush currents, should an overload occur.

Fuse Characteristics

The 0324001.H Fuse has several characteristics which set it apart from other fuses. First, it has a higher maximum voltage and current ratings than many other standard fuses. Also, its fast acting mode will not allow current peaks above the normal operating level. The fuse is designed to quickly blow when overloads occur, thus protecting your devices from damage. Its low melting point will protect the components of the LED from overheating.

General Applications

The 0324001.H Fuse is ideal for protection of small electronic LED components and circuits, as well as for general purpose applications such as lighting or power supply circuits. It is also often used in linear AC/DC power supplies, such as LED lighting, as it offers slow blow protection. Additionally, the 0324001.H Fuse can also be used in applications where protection from AC/DC voltage transients is desired, such as in solar and wind power systems.

Fuse Working Principle

The 0324001.H Fuse is a current limiting device designed to quickly break (blow) an overloaded circuit. This is done by its heating element which melts when overloaded and creates a gap between the two contacts, thus stopping the current flow and protecting your system from damage. The fuse also has a rapid thermal response time, meaning that it can help to avoid thermal and mechanical damage to the equipment which it is protecting. Its fast-acting mode also helps to protect against short circuits.

Conclusion

The 0324001.H Fuse is a general purpose fuse which is mainly used for the protection of small electronic LED components and circuits. Its fast-acting mode protects against overloads and short circuits. Its slow-blow operation offers further protection against inrush currents and AC/DC transients. It is also available in a variety of ratings to ensure that it is suitable for the application it is used for.
