0AGU020.T

Fuses are an important part of electrical systems, as they protect the system from malfunctions due to power overloads and short circuits. The 0AGU020.T fuse is a safe and economical way to protect low-voltage applications, and can be used in many different systems. In this article, we will discuss the application field and working principle of the 0AGU020.T fuse.

Application Field of 0AGU020.T Fuse

The 0AGU020.T is a cartridge-style fuse and is suitable for a wide range of applications. These include air conditioners, refrigerators, microwaves, dishwashers, washing machines, dryers, and other similar appliances in low-voltage applications. It is also suitable for protection of general machines and other motors in low-voltage applications. It is a compact and cost-effective safety solution when compared to other fuses in the market. The 0AGU020.T is rated to handle up to 20 amps and is available in both a 250V and 125V versions.

Working Principle of 0AGU020.T Fuse

The 0AGU020.T fuse works by limiting the amount of current that can flow through it. When the current flowing through it reaches a predetermined level, the fuse melts, thus breaking the circuit and protecting the circuit from overload or short circuit damage. The fuse consists of a metal strip or two metal wire loops, which are housed in a thermoplastic casing. When the current exceeds the predetermined level, the metal strip or wire loops create a large amount of resistance, which causes it to heat up. The heat released melts the metal or wires and interrupts the flow of current, thus protecting the circuit from further damage.

The 0AGU020.T fuse has a minimum breaking capacity of 5 amps. It also has a minimum making capacity of 0.2 amps., which means it can fuse and disrupt current up to the stated rating. The fuse also has a high interrupt rating of 10,000A, which means that it can rapidly interrupt large amounts of current without sustaining damage.

Conclusion

The 0AGU020.T fuse is a popular and economical way to provide safety in low-voltage applications. It is an excellent choice for protecting air conditioners, refrigerators, microwaves, dishwashers, washing machines, dryers, and other similar appliances. Its working principle involves limiting the current that can flow through it, and in the event that the current exceeds the predetermined level, the fuse melts and breaks the circuit, thus protecting the circuit from overload or short circuit damage.
