Fuses

162.6185.4102 is a fuse used for electrical protection. It works on the principle of a sacrificial element which gets destroyed whenever the circuit overheats or overloads, thus protecting the circuit from damage. It is a single-use component and needs to be replaced after the fuse is blown. Fuses are used in many applications such as motors, lighting, power supplies, and electronic circuits.

Application field

162.6185.4102 is widely used in many safety-critical applications, such as in elevators, escalators, power amplifiers, cranes, and medical equipment. Industrial equipment such as boilers, welding equipment, and cranes also use fuses of this type. Fuses are also used in automotive, industrial, and medical systems for protection from overloads and fire.

Working Principle

Fuses are designed to melt open when the circuit experiences an overload, or when the circuit temperature rises above normal. This interrupts the current flow in the circuit, protecting it from excessive current or heat. The current that flows through the fuse is described by its rating. This rating is usually marked clearly on the fuse itself. The rating must match the current used by the circuit in order for it to properly blow the fuse in the event of an overload.

162.6185.4102 is designed to respond quickly to an overload, with a response time of a few milliseconds. After the fuse has opened, it must be replaced with a new fuse. Fuses must be carefully selected for each application, as the current rating must match the circuit\'s requirements in order for it to be properly protected from overloads and fire.
