0679H5000-01

Fuses are used to protect electrical circuits from excess currents that are potentially hazardous and that could damage or destroy electronic equipment. 0679H5000-01 is a type of Fuse that is designed to protect circuits from high fault currents. It is a special type of fuse that provides reliable short circuit protection with minimum arc energy. It is able to withstand high fault currents with low instantaneous let-through energy, allowing the system to be protected without damaging the electrical components.

The 0679H5000-01 comprises of a ceramic tube that is filled with an encapsulated link of thin wire. The fuse is fitted into a protective sleeve and is held in place by a holder. The holder ensures that it is correctly aligned and in its correct position before being inserted into the circuit. The metal parts of the holder also provide additional protection from the heat generated from the fuse when it operates.

The working principle of the 0679H5000-01 is relatively simple. The wire link is designed to be the weakest link in the circuit. When the current exceeds the rated value of the fuse, the link melts, breaking the circuit and thus preventing the further flow of current. This ensures that any over-currents are stopped and the equipment is protected from potential damage. The capsule surrounding the link helps to contain the molten metal and prevents any sparks.

The 0679H5000-01 has a wide range of applications. It is particularly suitable for protection of circuit boards, power supplies and other electronic equipment that is susceptible to electrical over-currents. It is also suitable for use in a variety of mains operated equipment including computers, PLCs, and electric motors.

The 0679H5000-01 is a reliable and robust fuse, providing short circuit protection with minimum arc energy. It is able to withstand high fault currents with low instantaneous let-through energy, ensuring the system is protected without damaging the electrical components. Its wide range of applications and its simplicity make it an attractive option for circuit protection.
