0507004.MXP Application Field and Working Principle

An 0507004.MXP fuse, or Merser Brothers high-speed fuse, is an extremely reliable and fast-response fuse designed for use in hazardous environments with flammable gases, vapors or dusts in the air. The Merser Brothers fuse is designed to provide superior over-current protection for hazardous locations and is UL, CSA, and CE approved for global applications.

The Merser Brothers fuse consists of two major components, a ceramic tube and a moving plunger. The ceramic tube is filled with a melting alloy designed to change its electrical conductivity characterisitcs as it melts. The plunger is designed such that when the current exceeds the rated value of the fuse, the plunger inserts into the through-hole of the ceramic tube and contacts the internal fuse element. This triggers an electrical arc and causes the fuse\'s contacts to open, interrupting the current.

The Merser Brothers fuse also features a tamper-proof design and is both vibration resistant and shock resistant. It has a lower wattage rating than a typical semiconductor fuse, making it ideal for lower power applications that may not able to handle the load of a higher wattage device. It also has a fast response time, typically < 0.01 ms, making it suitable for high-speed applications such as motors, generators, and lighting equipment.

The Merser Brothers fuse is rated for a melting temperature of 1000°C and a breaking capacity of 6500 A. It is available in a wide variety of current ratings and is designed to be used in hazardous applications such as chemical processing plants, oil refineries, and mines. In addition, the fuse is designed for use in a wide range of atmospheric conditions and is capable of operating in temperatures ranging from -50°C to +85°C.

The Merser Brothers fuse is an incredibly reliable device designed for superior over-current protection. It is easy to install and maintain and is designed to provide maximum safety in hazardous environments. It is a highly reliable device that will provide the necessary protection in the most severe conditions.
