0662.500HXSL Application Field and Working Principle

The 0662.500HXSL is a 6mm x 62mm time-lag, current-limiting, high interruption, low voltage fuse utilized in a number of applications. The 0662.500HXSL is best employed for protecting control circuits for automation systems and providing dependable protection to delicate instrumentation and components.

Application Field

The 0662.500HXSL is employed in a variety of control circuits for automation systems such as PLCs, DC Drives, Robotics, Test Equipment, and Electronic/Pneumatic Control Panels. It\'s usually used to provide a stable current level to components such as motors, pumps, controllers, and relays. It\'s also employed to provide a back-up protection for short-circuits or minor overloads.

The 0662.500HXSL provides dependable protection for delicate instrumentation, components, and motors from damaging or disruptive electromagnetic interference (EMI). This type of fuse has excellent overload and current-limiting characteristics, providing good operational safety and reliability.

Working Principle

The 0662.500HXSL\'s current-limiting time-lag principle of operation is based upon rapid interruption of current by melting of the fuse element in the event of an overload or short-circuit fault. The time-lag element allows for low energy current limitation throughout the melting process which prevents the contact arcing associated with conventional fuses and results in much better protection for delicate instrumentation and components.

When a fault occurs, the 0662.500HXSL limits the current momentarily and then trips, allowing the load to be reset or safely disconnected from the power supply. The time-lag principle also ensures that the fuse element does not melt and trip for minor overloads or transient conditions, making it an excellent device for providing dependable and protective control circuits.
