170M1865

The 170M1865 is a specialist fuse manufactured by Eaton, chosen for its robust construction and reliable performance. The fuse is CE certified with agency certifications including CE, VDE, TUV, UL, and CSA. It features a special design that allows it to be used in both high-voltage, high-current circuits and low-voltage, low-current circuits. It is a perfect choice for applications requiring reliable current overload protection and low resistance.

The primary application field of the 170M1865 is that of general-purpose electrical protection. It can be used for:

• Motor safeguarding: The fuse is suitable for protection of DC and AC motors.
• Circuit Breaker protection: The fuse can provide over current protection for circuit breakers.
• Startup protection: The fuse is suitable for use for the startup of controlled AC and DC motor.
• Generator protection: The fuse can be used to safely protect generators.

The fuse can also be used in specialty applications such as power quality protection and surge current limitation for large UPS systems. It is suitable for direct connection to energy meters, lamps, motors, transformers, and other electrical equipment.

The 170M1865 is constructed from UL listed materials and features 100% vacuum welded lugs to ensure optimal performance. It has a single-spring design that helps to reduce its internal resistance, increase its switching speed, and improve its reliability. The fuse is designed to have a high interrupting rating of 120 kA at 480V AC. This makes it suitable for use in harsh environment or areas with poor grounding.

The working principle of the 170M1865 is simple. When the current draw in the circuit it is protecting exceeds its rated current, the fuse element melts and rapidly creates a high-resistance path, which breaks the circuit and helps protect other circuit components and equipment from damage or destruction. The fuse is designed to self-resets once the current draw reduces to a safe level.

In summary, the 170M1865 is an extremely reliable and robust electrical fuse designed for use in both high-voltage and low-voltage applications. Its single-spring design ensures minimum internal resistance while its interrupting rating of 120 kA makes it suitable for even the harshest of environments. The fuse is an ideal choice for applications demanding both superior performance and reliable protection.
