0688030.MAT4P

Fuses are a type of electrical protection device that stops the flow of electricity in case of an overload or short circuit. The 0688030.MAT4P is a fuse manufactured by Littelfuse, Inc. It is a medium-voltage, time-delay, current-limiting fuse with a high ampere interrupting capability. This fuse is designed for protecting electrical systems from overloading and short circuits.

In terms of application, the 0688030.MAT4P is primarily used in medium voltage power distribution systems up to 17.5 kilovolts. It is widely used in protected power delivery transformations, pad mount, secondary and medium voltage capacitor banks, horizontal loop and dead front secondary terminations. It is also suited for industrial, commercial and residential applications such as power factor correction capacitors, photovoltaic systems, electrical switchgear, circuit breakers, and linear loads.

The 0688030.MAT4P has a short circuit current rating of 200 kA RMS symmetrical at 600 VAC. It is a non-indicating fuse, meaning that it does not have any visible means of indicating when it has operated and been opened due to an overload. A fuse of this type must be replaced after operation.

The principle of operation of the 0688030.MAT4P is based on a melting fusible element. This element is heated when the current reaches a certain level, causing the element to melt and break the electrical circuit. The 0688030.MAT4P is designed in such a way that it allows for a time delay of up to 4 seconds, allowing a much smoother transition during phase-to-ground faults.

The 0688030.MAT4P is UL Recognized and CSA Certified. It is also available in both dual element and single element versions, and is considered to be one of the most reliable fuses on the market.

In summary, the 0688030.MAT4P is a medium voltage fuse manufactured by Littelfuse, Inc. It is primarily used in power distribution systems up to 17.5 kilovolts, and is suitable for commercial, industrial and residential applications. It has a short circuit current rating of 200 kA RMS symmetrical at 600 VAC, and is designed with a time delay of up to 4 seconds. It is UL Recognized and CSA Certified, and is available in both dual element and single element versions.
