Fuses

A fuse is a device designed to protect an electrical circuit from overcurrent or overload. In electrical systems, overcurrent is usually caused by an overload, short circuit, or ground fault. Fuses help to prevent circuit damage, fire hazards, and other safety issues. Fuse devices can be divided into two main types: circuit protection devices and circuit breakers.

0679H8000-01 is a fuse device designed for applications in industrial, commercial, and residential settings. This particular model is specifically designed to protect against current over-current or over-load situations, and in accordance with IEEE standard C37.31-2005. It features a single pole, single throw (SPST) design, and can be used as an overload or ground fault circuit interrupter. The 0679H8000-01 has a rated current of 100A and is rated for a maximum voltage of 600V AC or DC.

The 0679H8000-01 fuse works by melting the fuse element when the current rises above the rated value. This interrupts the flow of electricity and prevents the circuit from overloading. The fuse element is made up of a conducting material, such as silver or zinc alloy, which melts when the current rises. This is why the 0679H8000-01 is also known as a “fuse link”. The cause of the overload or short-circuit will still be present in the protected circuit, but the device will disconnect the circuit, thereby preventing further damage.

The 0679H8000-01 fuse is rated for both direct and indirect current applications. This makes it ideal for use in a wide range of applications, including industrial motor circuits, 240V and 480V circuit breakers, and in small electrical wiring and appliance circuits. Additionally, it complies with UL, CSA, and IEC standards, making it a reliable and trusted device for any application. Its small size and low profile design also makes it a great choice for applications where space is limited.

In short, the 0679H8000-01 fuse is a versatile and reliable device for protection against over-current or over-load situations. Its design allows it to be used in a variety of settings and comply with varying safety standards, making it a great choice for both residential and commercial applications.
