0FLQ.800T

In today’s industrial and commercial systems, over-current faults often occur which require quick and reliable protection. To achieve this level of protection, a variety of fuses are employed. Amongst the many types of fuses found in industrial and commercial applications, the 0FLQ.800T fuse is one of the most reliable and versatile. This article looks at the 0FLQ.800T fuse, its application field, and its working principle.

The 0FLQ.800T is an industrial grade fuse which can be used in a wide range of applications. These include motor control applications such as control circuit protection, overload protection, and branch circuit protection; as well as other industrial, commercial, and residential applications, such as over-current protection, branch-circuit short-circuit protection, and protection of motor windings.

The 0FLQ.800T’s superior current-limiting characteristics make it ideal for situations where it is necessary to protect downstream circuits from dangerous over-current events. The fuse has a high breaking capacity, with a minimum of 30kW at 500V AC for a 270A interrupting rating. It is also UL listed and suitable for use in damp locations.

The 0FLQ.800T is a movable core type fuse, which means its protection characteristics can be adjusted to suit the individual requirements of an installation. Inside the fuse body, an arc chamber is situated behind a set of contact arms, which can be easily moved with a screwdriver. The contacts can be adjusted to determine the level of current the fuse can safely pass before it trips.

So, what happens when a level of current is exceeded? When an over-current fault occurs, current flows through the contact arms and melts the fusible link. This creates an arc which is then self-extinguished as soon as the current has been cleared. This quick response ensures that downstream circuits and components are protected against dangerous levels of current.

As well as its current-limiting capabilities, the 0FLQ.800T also features low power loss and a low amount of let-through energy. This ensures that the equipment it is protecting from the fault remains as unscathed as possible. The fuse is therefore ideal for use in sensitive electronic systems.

In summary, the 0FLQ.800T fuse offers a quick and reliable solution for protecting industrial, commercial, and residential circuits from over-current faults. It features a high breaking capacity, low power loss, and a low amount of let-through energy, making it well-suited for both motor control applications and sensitive electronic systems.
