0PAL160.XP

Fuses are an integral part of most electrical systems and they protect the components of the system by limiting the amount of current that can pass through it. The OPAL160.XP is an advanced fuses which has a very distinctive application field and working principle.

Overview of OPAL160.XP

The OPAL160.XP is a fast-acting, polarized fuses with a nominal operating current of 800Amp, and an interrupting rating of 5000Amp. It has a current carrying capacity that can easily handle power surges and high current loads. It also features a polarized design to ensure the correct orientation in the circuit. The OPAL160.XP is also UL- and CSA-listed, making it a safe choice for any circuit application.

Application Field

The OPAL160.XP is designed for use in a variety of applications, including industrial control systems, air-conditioning systems, power distribution, heating systems, lighting systems, and motor control circuits. It can also be used in home solar energy systems, as it is capable of handling higher current loads. The OPAL160.XP is also suitable for use in harsh environments, as it is shock- and vibration-resistant.

Working Principle

The OPAL160.XP works by using a sensor element inside the fuse body which detects when the current exceeds the fuse’s rating. When this happens, the element breaks and the connection between the two leads of the fuse is cut off, protecting the components of the circuit. The OPAL160.XP also has a complete arc-suppression chamber, which minimizes the risk of an arc forming when the fuse is activated, further ensuring the safety of the circuit.

Conclusion

The OPAL160.XP is a high-performance fuse that is able to handle a wide range of applications. It features a polarized design, an excellent current carrying capacity, and a complete arc-suppression chamber to ensure the safety of the circuit. Its versatility and easy installation make it a great choice for any circuit application.
