Specialty Fuses

0LMF001.UXL Application Field and Working Principle

A 0LMF001.UXL (also known as an “open link fuse”) is designed for applications where a constant current draw and low voltage drop is required. It is a fast-acting, UL/cUL listed, Type T fuse, rated 0–600 A at a maximum voltage rating of 600 VAC. It has a single time delay characteristic and is available in a variety of sizes.

Features

• Fast-acting fuse
• UL/cUL Listed and Type T rated
• Rated 0-600 A
• Maximum voltage rating: 600 VAC
• Single time delay characteristic
• Available in a variety of sizes

Application Field

0LMF001.UXL open link fuses are used in a wide range of applications including lighting, HVAC, motors, power grids, and industrial control systems. They are also commonly used to protect sensitive electronics and components such as rectifiers, printed circuit boards, frequency converters, and appliance motors. They are especially useful in applications where high amperage and quick response times are required.

Working Principle

When the 0LMF001.UXL fuse is exposed to a current that exceeds the rated limit, the internal components rapidly heat up, causing the fuse element to expand and form an open link. This open link interrupts the flow of electricity and prevents further damage to the system. When the excessive current situation is resolved, the fuse element cools down and can be manually reset or replaced to restore power to the system.

Safety Considerations

When working with 0LMF001.UXL fuses, the user should exercise caution. As they are designed for high amperage applications, excessive currents can cause serious system damage and pose a significant safety risk. It is important to observe all safety protocols when handling 0LMF001.UXL fuses, including wearing proper eye and ear protection, grounding all components, and ensuring that no bare wires are exposed.
