0498030.UXT-HD

Fuses are one of the most common parts used in electrical systems, and they provide essential protection from electrical overloads. In order to provide optimal protection, it is important to select the right fuse type for the application. 0498030.UXT-HD is a high-durability and reliable fuse from Eaton Electrical that is often used in demanding industrial applications. This article will discuss the application field and working principle of this fuse.

Application Field

The 0498030.UXT-HD is ideal for industrial applications where it is important to protect against extreme operational environments. It is designed for high switching and short-circuit protection, as well as providing thermal and electrical overload protection. It is UL listed and designed to meet the requirements of UL 508 and CSA 22.2. Additionally, it is CSA and ATEX certified, making it suitable for use in hazardous locations. This fuse is suitable for use with 2500V AC systems, and it is rated for 20,000 Amp Interrupting Ratings.

This fuse is used in a variety of applications, including oil and gas exploration, mining, and other extreme working environment. It is also used in automobiles, ships, steel mills, chemical plants, and other industrial processes. It is also used in medium and low voltage control, as well as for residential load centers.

Working Principle

The 0498030.UXT-HD fuse is designed to provide protection from electrical overloads. It works by interrupting the flow of current when a certain amount of current is exceeded. This is done by the fuse\'s metal conductor melting when a set amount of current passes through it. The melting of the metal conductor disrupts the flow of electricity, which stops the current from passing.

When the metal conductor is melted, it forms a solid metal connection between the two contacts at either end of the fuse. This connection is known as the \'arc.\' This arc creates a small gap or line of resistance between the two contacts. This gap is what limits the amount of current that can flow between the two contacts. When the amount of current passing through the fuse exceeds the rated amount, the arc breaks and the flow of current is stopped.

The 0498030.UXT-HD fuse is designed to provide protection from both short circuits and thermal overloads. In a short circuit, the current passing through the fuse is too high and can cause damage to the surrounding circuitry. The fuse limits the current to the rated amount by breaking the arc when the current exceeds the rated amount. In a thermal overload, the electrical boundary is exceeded and the fuse trips when the temperature exceeds the operating temperature.

Conclusion

The 0498030.UXT-HD is a reliable fuse that is used in a variety of hazardous and industrial applications. It is designed to protect both from short circuits and thermal overloads. It is UL listed and designed to meet the requirements of UL 508 and CSA 22.2. Additionally, it is CSA and ATEX certified, making it suitable for use in hazardous locations. This fuse is a great choice for applications that require reliable and high-durability protection.
