<p>The 16D16SC electrical specialty fuse has broad applications, and understanding its working principle can help one make the best use of this high powered industrial fuse. A 16D16SC fuse is suitable for low and medium voltage applications protecting up to 600V. Commonly used as aline metal enclosed fuse for motor control centers, it is also often used as a back-up for motor overload relays, and short circuit protection in AC and DC circuits.</p><p>The 16D16SC fuse is comprised of a housing, the fuse element and the contact. The fuse element is made of a high melting-point alloy wire and is housed within a glass tube. This glass capsule is encased in a cylindrical stainless steel housing, which provides thermal protection as well as shock protection for the fragile glass capsule. The contacts which handle the existing electrical load are made of solid brass or bronze. As the contacts are exposed to electrical loads, the brass or bronze undergoes the process of erosion or coloration. This gradual loss of metal is termed arching, and it lets more current pass through the contact. The contact is then replaced.</p><p>The working principle of the 16D16SC fuse is simple: as long as the current passing through the fuse is within the ampere rating, nothing happens. However, if the current passing through the fuse exceeds the rating, the fuse wire, which is made of a high melting point alloy, is vaporized due to the increased heat. This breaks the connection between the contact terminals and eliminates the current to the protected device. When this happens, it renders the fuse unsuitable for reuse.</p><p>The working principle of the 16D16SC fuse helps manufacturers by decreasing downtime, as it allows motor control centers and other devices to be shut down in the event of a fault. This ensures safe operation of the device, and prevents permanent damage due to excessive current passing through the apparatus.</p><p>In summary, the 16D16SC electrical specialty fuse is a versatile, high power industrial fuse, suitable for low and medium voltage applications. It comprises a stainless steel housing, a glass capsule containing a high melting point alloy, and solid brass or bronze contacts. The working principle of the fuse is that when it detects current exceeding its rating, it vaporizes the fuse element, breaking the electrical current and preventing damage to the protected device.</p>
