Fuses

Fuses are electrical safety devices intended to protect an electrical circuit from damage caused by the excessive current. Their main purpose is to prevent fires and other dangerous situations from occurring due to overloaded circuits. A fuse consists of a length of wires with a conductor within them that melts when the current flowing through the circuit becomes excessive. The conductor is designed to disconnect the circuit when the excessive current is detected, thus preventing further damage to the circuit.

050701.6MXEP application field and working principle

The 050701.6MXEP is a Midget fuse from Littlefuse which is used to protect a circuit from overload or short-circuit conditions. It is a glass tube fuse featuring a single miniature body size and time-delay function. The 050701.6MXEP has an interrupting rating of 50A @ 125V AC and 30A @ 250V AC. It has an operating temperature range of -55°C to 125°C (-67°F to 257°F).

The 050701.6MXEP features dual-element construction. The elements consist of a short-circuit current-limiting element and a time-delay element. The short-circuit current-limiting element is designed to open the circuit immediately upon detection of a short-circuit. The time-delay element is designed to hold off the current when the circuit is overloaded. The time-delay element allows the fuse to operate longer than a silicone-filled fuse in overload conditions.

The 050701.6MXEP is approved by UL and CSA for standard 251 requirements. Applications for this fuse include electrical and electronic equipment such as power supplies, safety switches, meters, lighting and general purpose equipment. It is also suitable for various industrial applications.
