170M2668

170M2668 is an electrical specialty fuse that provides short circuit and overload protection for circuits in residential and commercial buildings, ships, locomotives, construction sites, and public locations. It also provides power factor protection, over current protection, and temperature protection, along with other protective functions.

The 170M2668 specialty fuse has a number of applications in various industries and fields, such as general purpose AC circuits, motor control circuits, transformer and capacitor secondary protective devices, and rectifier installations. It is designed to protect the electrical circuit from overloads, short circuits, phase imbalance, and faults generated by inrush currents in the system.

The working principle of the 170M2668 specialty fuse involves the use of a sensing element to detect any overload or short circuit current in the circuit. When the current exceeds the rated value, the sensing element triggers the fuse to open, thus interrupting the current to the circuit and providing the required protection.

The 170M2668 specialty fuse is made up of a cylindrical aluminum body with a hollow center. The body is filled with an inert gas such as carbon dioxide or any other suitable gas. The sensing element is housed inside the hollow center of the body and is connected to the end plates. The end plates are insulated from the main body of the fuse and are designed to break open when the current exceeds the rated value.

The fuse is also equipped with a manual reset switch, which can be used to re-energize the fuse once the over current condition is cleared. The manual reset switch is connected to the sensing element and when the current drops to a pre-set value, the sensing element will reset the switch and turn the power back on.

The 170M2668 specialty fuse is designed to withstand high temperatures and requires very little maintenance. It can be used to supply up to 20 kilowatts of current, providing protection for power systems of varying sizes.

The 170M2668 specialty fuse is a reliable and effective protection device for electrical circuits and is suitable for a wide range of applications. It can be used for both single-phase and three-phase systems and is made from corrosion-resistant materials, making it an ideal choice for marine applications.
