170E5828-U

Electrical fuses provide protection for electrical circuits from being overloaded or that have short circuited. Specialty fuses provide additional protection from electrical surge and power failure. The 170E5828-U is a specialty electrical fuse, manufactured by Bussmann, and it provides protection against overloading and other dangers related to electrical failures. In this article, we will discuss the applications and working principles of the 170E5828-U.

Applications

The 170E5828-U is a Class C fuse, rated at 375Vac. It is designed for use in electrical control panels, as well as air-conditioning systems, pumps, and motors. It is an ideal choice for when these systems require additional protection against surge and short circuit.

The 170E5828-U is capable of switching up to 45A of current. It is suitable for use in both AC and DC circuits and is UL Recognized. It is also RoHS compliant, and therefore suitable for use in applications that require compliance to these standards.

Working Principle

The 170E5828-U contains a fuse element which is designed to open the circuit when an overcurrent occurs. When the current in the circuit exceeds the maximum rating of the fuse, the element vaporizes, creating an arc, which reduces the current and thus protects the circuit from overload.

The 170E5828-U also provides protection against power surges. When a power surge or a voltage transient occurs, the fuse element melts and opens the circuit, preventing the surge from damaging the equipment.

The 170E5828-U also has an anti-vibration system. This feature limits vibration when the fuse is switched on and off, thus reducing stress on the fuse and improving its longevity.

The 170E5828-U is designed to be easy to use and has a low insertion force. To use the fuse, it must be properly connected and inserted into the holder, taking care to ensure the conductor and fuse are properly connected. Once the fuse is inserted and secured in place, the circuit can then be switched on.

Conclusion

The 170E5828-U is a specialty electrical fuse manufactured by Bussmann. It is rated at 375Vac and is designed to provide protection against overloading, short circuits, surges, and power failures. It is suitable for use in electrical control panels, air-conditioning systems, pumps, and motors, and is UL Recognized and RoHS compliant. It also has an anti-vibration system, and a low insertion force, making it easy to use.
