0479003.MXEP

Fuses

The 0479003.MXEP is a general purpose electric fuse with a wide range of applications. It is extremely reliable and provides excellent short circuit protection. This fuse is designed to quickly and safely open circuits when an over-current fault occurs.

This type of fuse is most commonly used in applications such as air-conditioning, machinery, construction, lighting and home automation. It is also used in most household appliances, including refrigerators, microwaves, and ovens. The 0479003.MXEP is suitable for both single- and three-phase systems and is approved for use with AC power up to 300 V.

Working Principle

The 0479003.MXEP fuse is an overload protector that works by sensing an over-current fault and quickly reacting to interrupt the circuit. It is constructed of a combination of silver and copper wires, with the contacts attached to the silver strand of the fuse and connected to the base. The fuse melts when it reaches a predetermined current, causing a breakage in the circuit.

The 0479003.MXEP is designed to open quickly in response to over-currents, preventing further damage to the electrical system. It also has a low profile design, making it suitable for use in tight spaces. The design also includes a plastic cover that provides further protection by preventing contact or accidental contact with the fuse.

When an over-current fault occurs, the fuse element within the 0479003.MXEP melts, cutting off current flow to the circuit. This protects the equipment from further damage due to higher current flow. The fuse may be reset by replacing it with a new one, but the previously melted element must be discarded.

Conclusion

The 0479003.MXEP is a reliable and safe electric fuse that is well-suited to a wide range of residential, commercial, and industrial applications. Its low profile design makes it suitable for use in tight spaces, and its protective plastic cover helps to prevent accidental contact with the fuse element. Its designed to open quickly, protecting the circuit from excessive current flow.
