Fuses are an essential part of almost all electrical systems, providing critical safety protection against an overload or short circuit in a circuit. 0471.500NRT1L is a Time Lag Fuse, specially designed for use in installations where a higher than normal current might be present, such as current transformers and photocopy machines. In this article we will discuss the 0471.500NRT1L application field and working principle.

Application Field

0471.500NRT1L is a Time Lag Fuse, often called a non-cycling fuse, which is suitable for protecting circuits with high fault levels. This type of fuse works in a somewhat different way than other types of fuses and is able to withstand momentary current peaks without tripping. Thanks to its high capacity, 0471.500NRT1L is ideal for use in applications which require prolonged current measuring, like current transformers. In these installations, it is essential that the measured current is not interrupted by a fuse tripping and that the circuit itself is not overloaded, even if there is a momentary overload.

0471.500NRT1L is also a good choice when used in photocopy machines and similar equipment which often require long-term current measurement. Additionally, it also offers a good range of protection for motors and other equipment which can be exposed to momentary overloads. For these reasons, 0471.500NRT1L is a popular choice for industrial as well as commercial applications.

Working Principle

A 0471.500NRT1L fuse works on the principle of thermal inertia. Instead of tripping immediately when an overload is detected, this type of fuse slowly increases its resistance to current, delaying the trip until the overload has been cleared. This is achieved by a specially-designed wire element inside the fuse body. It will gradually heat up for a longer time, until it reaches a certain melting temperature. When this happens, the element melts, interrupting the flow of current.

The 0471.500NRT1L also includes a clip which reaches down into the fuse housing. This clip is connected to the electrical system, so that when the wire element melts, it trips the clip, which then interrupts the circuit. The trip time of the 0471.500NRT1L is approximately 30 seconds at its rated current, although this time may vary depending on the surge current and ambient temperature.

The 0471.500NRT1L fuse is designed to protect against short circuits and overloads, but it is not suitable for protecting against undervoltage, overvoltage, or ground-fault conditions. For this reason, it is important to ensure that the circuit is adequately protected against all of these possible conditions.

Conclusion

0471.500NRT1L is a Time Lag Fuse which is designed for use in electrical applications where high levels of current are present. It is often used in current transformer and photocopy applications as its high capacity allows it to withstand momentary current peaks without tripping. It works on the principle of thermal inertia, with a wire element inside the fuse slowly heating up until a certain melting temperature is reached and the circuit is interrupted.
