Fuses

A fuse is an electrical safety device that contains a wire element that melts and separates the circuit when too much current is passed through it for a certain period of time.

One of the most popular fuses in the market today is the 0AGA020.V. It is a very reliable and cost-effective fuse with a current rating of 20 amps. It is a general-purpose Type I fuse with a voltage rating of 120/240 volts AC and 125 volts DC. It is UL and CSA approved and is RoHS compliant.

0AGA020.V Application Field

This fuse is mostly used in residential and commercial applications. It is most commonly used as a blown-fuse indicator and as an over-current protective device. This fuse is also used in HVAC systems, pumps, compressors, motors, and other appliances that require safety protection from accidental overloads.

0AGA020.V Working Principle

The 0AGA020.V fuse utilizes a zinc-alloy wire element encased in a fire-resistant ceramic material. When too much current is passed through the fuse, the element heats up due to the resistance, eventually melting and separating the circuit. This prevents further damage to the electrical system or appliance.

The 0AGA020.V fuse also contains a visual indicator that provides an immediate warning when a fuse has blown. This makes it easier to detect whether the fuse needs to be replaced, allowing for quick action that can prevent costly repairs.

Conclusion

The 0AGA020.V fuse is a reliable and effective Type I safety device that is used in a variety of applications. Its visual indicator lets users know when the fuse has blown, helping them take swift action that can protect their electronics and appliances from over-current damage.
