0362004.H

Fuses provide overcurrent protection, in order to prevent fires and excessive current draw when a fault has been detected. The 0362004.H is a Common Interrupting Rating (CIR) fuse designed to provide reliable overcurrent protection in a variety of industrial applications. This fuse has a high-performance solid state elements which will provide interruption up to 32 kilovolts (kV) or 160 kiloamperes (kA).

Application Field

The 0362004.H’s CIR rating, up to 32 kV and 160 kA, makes it suitable for use in a variety of medium-voltage industrial applications, such as power distribution, motor control, transformer protection, and medium-voltage switchgear. The device is perfect for many dynamic, high-current and medium-voltage applications. This fuse is a family of hybrid fuses, which combines a mechanical switching element and a solid state element. This provides users with the advantage of incorporating the best features of both technologies into a single device, making it suitable for the applications mentioned above and many more.

Working Principle

The 0362004.H fuse works by first detecting and then disconnecting an electric circuit when a fault has occurred. The device is designed to provide over current protection to protect equipment from excessive current draw. In order to achieve this, the fuse has a metal element which melts when exposed to a current that is higher than the one allowed by the fuse. This triggers the mechanical switching element of the fuse, which interrupts the circuit in order to prevent damage caused by the excessive current.

In addition, the fuse also has a solid state element, which is designed to open the circuit when exposed to certain voltage or current levels. This feature allows the fuse to act as a protective device in high-voltage, high-current applications, providing even more protection to the circuit.

The 0362004.H’s CIR rating make it suitable for many industrial applications such as power distribution, motor control, transformer protection, and switchgear. It has a high-performance solid state element which can provide interruption up to 32 kV or 160 kA. The fuse also works by first detecting and then disconnecting an electric circuit when a fault has occurred, using its metal and solid state elements.
