160NH2G-690 application field and working principle

160NH2G-690 fuses combine a reliable overload and short circuit protection with a miniature size that is well suited for both traditional and current applications. It is suitable for applications where a miniature fuse may be suitable due to the limited space and provides a cost-effective and space-saving solution for motors, lighting systems, meters, and switches.

Application Field

160NH2G-690 fuses are typically used in motors, lighting systems, meters and switches as overcurrent protection devices. It is available in both ferrule and pin mount versions and is certified to meet IEC, UL, CSA and other international standards. Due to the stringent quality control processes, these fuses are very reliable and are suitable for many different applications, from general-purpose electric utilities to industrial and commercial needs.

Working Principle

The 160NH2G-690 fuse works on the principle of thermal-dynamic current-limiting. The fuse consists of a highly conductive metal conductor that is enclosed within a cylindrical insulating element and is surrounded by a separate bypassing element. When an overcurrent flows through the fuse, it heats up the bypassing element, causing it to expand and physically disconnect the conductor. This reduces the current to a safe level, protecting the circuit from damage. The fuse is designed to limit the current to a safe level while ensuring that the circuit does not suffer any long-term damage.

Advantages

160NH2G-690 fuses offer many advantages over traditional fuse solutions. They have a superior current interruption performance, greater reliability, and lower material and manufacturing costs. They are also incredibly easy to install, making them ideal for applications where space is at a premium. Additionally, 160NH2G-690 fuses are UL, IEC, and CSA certified making them compliant with most safety standards.

Conclusion

160NH2G-690 fuses offer superior performance and reliability in a compact package. It is suitable for motor, lighting systems, meters, and switches, and offers reliability, safety, and cost-effectiveness. 160NH2G-690 fuses are also certified to international standards, making them universally safe and reliable.
