0LGR001.HXL

Specialty Fuses

The OLGR001.HXL is an electrical control device used to protect individual circuits against excessive current. It works by opening the circuit when a specified current load is exceeded. By doing so, it prevents damage to other components in the circuit, such as electric motors, power supplies, control panels, and wiring.

The Construction and Operation of an OLGR001.HXL

The OLGR001.HXL consists of two main elements: a fuse element and a fuseholder. The fuse element typically consists of a thin metal strip that is inserted into the holder. The holder is typically constructed from brass or copper, and it contains a metal clip for securing the fuse element. The holder also has two side elements, which are used to adjust the stipulated current rating of the fuse.

When the current flowing through the circuit reaches the stipulated rating, the fuse element reaches its heat-resistant temperature and melts, breaking the electrical connection. This interrupts the flow of current, protecting other components from damage due to excessive current.

Application Fields and Working Principle

The OLGR001.HXL is used primarily in industrial and commercial settings, where it is installed to protect against electric shocks, fire, and overheating. It can also be used in residential settings, as it can be placed in an outlet or circuit breaker box to protect the wiring in the home against damage. In addition, it can be used in automobiles, to protect the wiring from excessive current.

The OLGR001.HXL works by sensing the amount of current that is flowing through a circuit. When the stipulated current rating is exceeded, the metal strip in the fuse element reaches its temperature limit and melts, breaking the electrical connection and protecting other components from damage. By doing so, it helps to ensure the safety of those working with the equipment and prevents damage to other equipment in the circuit.
