0473005.VXL Application Field and Working Principle

The 0473005.VXL is a family of fuses, designed to protect critical electronics and electrical systems from dangerous voltage and current loads. They are ideal for use in industrial, commercial and consumer applications. This type of fuse is typically used when a large amount of power needs to be reliably processed and distributed.

Construction

The 0473005.VXL consists of a metal base with two terminal posts and a sheathed glass tube. Inside the glass tube are two movable components: a coil of wire and a safety shutter. The wire coil is wound in a loop and is held between two points by a metal spring. The coil is insulated from the surrounding air and is supported by a protective casing.

Function

The 0473005.VXL works by limiting the amount of current allowed to flow through a circuit. It does this by using the metal elements inside the glass tube to create an arc that breaks the circuit when it exceeds the preset current. In the event of an overload, the arc travels through the coil and the safety shutter, which causes the fuse to blow, thus ensuring that no further damage occurs to the circuit.

Applications

The 0473005.VXL fuses are suitable for a wide range of applications. They are commonly used in industrial and commercial applications where the flow of electricity needs to be strictly regulated. Additionally, they are used in consumer electronics, such as laptop, cell phone, and audio systems, where they provide physical protection and electrical safety against overloading, fire, and electrical shock.
