0697H1600-05

Fuses are one of the oldest form of overcurrent protection and are still widely used today. The 0697H1600-05 fuse is a current-limiting supplemental fuses used for motor circuit protection. It is designed to protect Delta and Wye-Delta motor circuit configurations.

Application Field: The 0697H1600-05 is designed to replace multiple fuses in a motor circuit. It operates with a variety of rated voltages and amperes and provides a compact solution for motor protection. It is ideal for a wide range of applications, such as water pumps, HVAC systems, refrigeration systems, industrial equipment and agricultural equipment.

Working Principle: The 0697H1600-05 fuse operates on a thermal principle that utilizes high-temperature alloy strips. These strips are individually connected and arranged in series with a current-limiting element. When the current level in the circuit exceeds the rated value of the fuse, the fuse will blow and disconnect the circuit.

When the fuse blows, a stainless steel element will be heated and expanded, forming a faulted bridge between its two ends and thus creating an open circuit. This is known as the fusing process. The fusing process works by absorbing and limiting the high pulse of current and dissipating it before it can damage any equipment. Therefore, the fuse acts as an electrical safety device that prevents circuits from overloading and potentially damaging expensive equipment.

The 0697H1600-05 fuse has several advantages over other protective devices. It is quick-acting, robust, lightweight, and easy to install. In addition, it has a long life span and is fairly cost effective compared to other over-current protection solutions. It is important to remember though that fuses require periodic testing and checks to ensure that they are functioning properly.

The 0697H1600-05 fuse is a reliable and effective overcurrent protection solution that can be used in a variety of applications. It is designed to protect motor circuit configurations from damage due to overloading and short circuits. Its quick-acting, robust design, and cost-effectiveness make it a go-to solution for motor protection.
