Fuses
Fuses are an integral part of power distribution systems, protecting power lines, devices and equipment from damage due to high current or voltage. The 067202.5DRT4 is a specialized type of fuse designed for accurate and reliable protection of medium-voltage power lines and is suitable for a variety of applications. In this article, we will take a look at the application field and working principle of this type of fuse.
Application Field
The 067202.5DRT4 fuse has been designed for medium-voltage applications. It is suitable for protection of lines and equipment connected to medium voltage (up to 15kV) distribution systems, including motorised machines, transformers and circuit breakers. It can also be used to protect cables and overhead lines in power distribution networks. Additionally, this type of fuse can be utilised for hazardous area protection, as well as in marine and offshore installations.
Working Principle
The 067202.5DRT4 fuse utilises a spring-loaded design for both current and voltage protection. The fuse has two separates components, one for each type of protective function. The design of the fuse ensures that even if one component becomes inoperable, the other will remain intact and the fuse will continue to provide protection. The spring-loaded current protection component responds to over-currents and short-circuit conditions by rapidly limiting the high fault currents flowing in the circuit. The voltage component reacts to over-voltage situations and shuts down the power supply to the protected circuits or devices to ensure their safety.
The 067202.5DRT4 fuse is an effective and reliable solution for medium voltage power distribution protection. Its two-part design ensures that both current and voltage surges can be quickly and accurately addressed, helping to protect devices, equipment and lines from harm.
