1304R1C8.25

The 1304R1C8.25 is a low-voltage, high-interrupt-rating fuse used in electrical systems. This fuse has an exceptional energy-consuming capability in high-temperature circuits, and its use in protections systems is becoming widespread. This article will explain the application field and working principle of the 1304R1C8.25 fuse.

Application Field

The 1304R1C8.25 fuse has primarily been designed for use in switchgear. It can be used for protecting both medium-voltage and low-voltage systems. Furthermore, it is also suitable for use in equipment where reliable, continuous and automatic protection is needed. This fuse can also be used in special applications such as motor control systems, where the current is frequently turned on and off. With its exceptional ability to dissipate energy, the 1304R1C8.25 fuse can be used to simultaneously protect both the equipment and the system.

Working Principle

The 1304R1C8.25 fuse is designed to protect the system by disconnecting it from the supply if the current exceeds its operating value. The fuse is made with a metal housing that encloses an electrical element made of either copper or silver. The element has a pre-determined melting point, which is called the fusing temperature. When the current flowing through the fuse exceeds its ratings, the element heats up and melts, thereby breaking the electrical circuit.

The interruption technique used by the fuse is of the “rapid response” type. It limits the energy that is released by the circuit in the event of a fault. This helps in preventing overheating and damage to the equipment. The 1304R1C8.25 fuse also has a high interrupt rating, which means it can cut off the current within milliseconds of a fault occurring. This ensures that the system is protected from damage due to a sudden surge in current.

Conclusion

The 1304R1C8.25 fuse is a low-voltage, high-interrupt-rating fuse used to protect switchgear, medium-voltage and low-voltage systems, motor control systems, and other special electrical equipment from failure due to overload. The fuse works on the principle of “rapid response” interruption by melting the element when the current exceeds its rated value. The fuse has a high interrupt rating that makes it an ideal choice for system protection.
