0FHA0015Z

Fuseholders are electrical components used to hold fuses in place. They protect electrical circuits from overheating due to overloads and short circuits. The 0FHA0015Z fuseholder is designed for use in various applications, and it functions differently depending on its specific application. Understanding its working principle and application field can help ensure it is employed correctly.

0FHA0015Z Application Field

The 0FHA0015Z is a fuseholder with a compact design that can be used in a variety of industrial and residential applications. It is designed to safely hold an 8 mm fuse and has an insulation barrier to protect both operators and the device’s environment from electric shock. It is backed by a locking mechanism that prevents any accidental disengagement of the fuse. It is UL, VDE, and CSA certified and can also be used in a wide range of wattage loads, making it suitable for a variety of applications.

The 0FHA0015Z can be used on both alternating current (AC) and direct current (DC) electrical systems. It is primarily employed for the secure installation of 8 mm plug-in type fuses in AC and DC control circuits up to a rating of 20 Amp and 750 Volts. It is primarily used in panel-mounting applications, though it can also be used for point-of-use installation where a flat surface is available. This means the 0FHA0015Z can be used for various applications including lighting, control, load monitoring and control, power supply, and consumer device circuits.

Working Principle of 0FHA0015Z

The 0FHA0015Z fuseholder consists of two parts: the fuse clip and the set screw. The set screw secures the fuse clip by tightly gripping the outside of the fuse body. This ensures the fuse is properly held in place. This method of fusing has the advantage of secure installation for both instant-on and capacitor-discharge loads.

When current passes through the 0FHA0015Z, it runs through the fuseholder as well as the fuse. In the event of an overload or short circuit, the fuse acts as a sacrificial component and will fail in a safe manner, disconnecting the current and protecting the circuit. When this happens, the user can replace the failed fuse with a new one and resume operation.

The 0FHA0015Z is a highly efficient fuseholder, primarily due to its reliable connection and adjustable set screw. The adjustable set screw provides a secure connection between the fuse and the holder, while the insulation barrier ensures additional safety. This combination of features makes it a highly reliable fuseholder for various applications.

Conclusion

The 0FHA0015Z fuseholder is designed for safety and can be employed in several applications that require 8 mm size fuses. It features an adjustable set screw and insulation barrier which provide secure connections and protection from electric shock. This makes it a highly reliable and efficient fuseholder for various AC and DC electrical systems.
