0MIN003.HXGLO Datasheet/PDFFuses
Fuses are an essential part of many electrical systems, providing protection against short circuits and overloads. The 0MIN003.HXGLO is a type of fuse designed for low voltage, low current applications such as automotive and household appliances.
Application Field
This particular type of fuse is suitable for applications up to 24 volts and 1 to 5 amps. It is commonly used in automotive electrical systems, such as cars, trucks, and boats, to protect against short circuits and overloads. The benefit of this type of fuse compared to traditional automotive fuses is that it can be reset after an overload occurs. This makes it especially useful for applications where resetting the fuse is more convenient than replacing it.
The 0MIN003.HXGLO can also be used in domestic appliances, such as washing machines, domestic fridges and microwaves. Its ability to be reset also makes it suitable for these applications, as the user can simply reset the fuse rather than having to replace it.
Working Principle
The 0MIN003.HXGLO fuse works by using an internal resettable element, a thermally sensitive element that is heated by the current passing through it. This element is normally resettable, meaning that it closes when the current passes through it, but opens when the current level reaches a certain threshold. When this threshold is reached, the element will open to break the circuit, preventing further damage.
As the element is heated, it increases its resistance, causing the current to drop. This current drop is sensed by the circuit and it begins to cool down. When the element is cooled to its normal temperature, the circuit will reset and the fuse will be ready to use again. This allows the circuit to be restarted without having to replace the fuse.
Conclusion
The 0MIN003.HXGLO is a type of fuse designed for low voltage, low current applications. It is commonly used in automotive and domestic appliances, such as washing machines, fridges and microwaves. It works by using an internal resettable element that heats up when the current level reaches a certain threshold. This causes the element to open, breaking the circuit and protecting the system from further damage. When the element is cooled, the circuit can be reset and the fuse will be ready for use again.
