0SOO020.Z

The 0SOO020.Z belongs to the Electrical, Specialty Fuses family. It is a medium time delay fuse, with special features designed for high voltage use. The 0SOO020.Z is manufactured with a small foot print and nominal voltage rating of 600 volts, making it an ideal fuse for applications where space may be a limitation. The 0SOO020.Z also offers higher interruption rating, making it suitable for higher amperage applications.

The 0SOO020.Z application field covers industrial, commercial and agricultural, preventing main and branch equipment from damage during a fault. Its mode of protection is against short circuit and overloads, and designed for circuits not exceeding its rated voltage. Its crucial role is to provide protection when circuits operate outside of normal parameters.

The operating principle of the 0SOO020.Z is pretty straight forward. Its basic components include a metal body, a spring-loaded contact, a fuse link place in between, and a ceramic insulating element. When a fuse is overloaded, the fuse link melts, breaking the circuit and thus protecting it from damage. It also has an element control feature, which will blow a small hole in the element if an over-voltage occurs. This controls the passage of electricity.

The 0SOO020.Z features an added electronic pick-up and a cut-off to protect more vulnerable components from excess current. Electronic pick-up measures the current passing through the fuse and is adjustable to suit the requirements of the application. The cut-off reacts to high voltage and induces an arc, which forces the element to open and thus interrupting the circuit. This feature prevents damage to sensitive equipment.

The 0SOO020.Z comes with additional safety features to ensure safe operation. Its housing is made of ceramic material, making it an insulation break device. This ceramic material has high freeze-resistance meaning it does not arc over or cause sparks when used. Furthermore, the fuse features a 13/32” header, giving it high force capacity and good breathability.

The 0SOO020.Z can be used in a variety of applications, from residential to commercial, industrial and agricultural. It is suitable for circuits not exceeding its rated voltage and offers a reliable protection when circuits operate outside of normal parameters. It is an ideal option for applications where space may be a limitation.
