Fuses: 0FLQ.500HXR Application Field and Working Principle

Fuses are electrical safety devices used to protect a circuit from overheating due to high current. The 0FLQ.500HXR is a fast-acting, limited-time delay fuse with an I2t rating of 500A. It is a single-pole fuse and is available in a range of ratings from 400A up to 500A.

Application Field

The 0FLQ.500HXR fuse is used in residential and industrial applications to protect wires and cables from overloading and overheating. It is suitable for use in many residential and industrial installations, including large appliances, HVAC systems, photovoltaic systems, and other equipment with high current requirements. It is designed to protect power supplies and other electrical equipment from damage caused by short circuits, surges, or overcurrent.

Working Principle

The 0FLQ.500HXR fuse is designed to break the electric circuit in case of an overload or short circuit. The fuse is a metal tube surrounded by two metal caps. Inside the tube is a wire coil filled with an electrically conductive material that will melt when subjected to high temperatures. The two caps at the ends of the tube contain magnetic elements that create an arc when the fuse is subjected to a short circuit.

When the current in the circuit increases due to a fault or overload, the fuse melts and interrupts the electric circuit. This prevents a short circuit or overload from causing damage to the electrical equipment or wires. The 0FLQ.500HXR fuse will melt and interrupt the electric circuit within 1 - 10 seconds, depending on the amperage, voltage and ambient temperature.

Conclusion

The 0FLQ.500HXR fuse is a fast-acting, limited-time delay fuse that provides protection from short circuits, surges, and overcurrents. The fuse is suitable for use in residential and industrial applications, including large appliances, HVAC systems, photovoltaic systems, and other equipment with high current requirements. The fuse breaks the electrical circuit in the event of an overload or short circuit, preventing damage to the electrical equipment or wires.
