170M3812

Electrical, Specialty Fuses

The 170M3812 is a special type of fuse, made specifically for electrical protection applications. A fuse is a device that interrupts the electric current by melting or burning when it reaches a certain temperature or the electric current is higher than specified. In this way it prevents damage to components downstream in the event of an abnormally high current.

The 170M3812 is a specific type of electrical fuse designed for the protection of motors and other electrical components from damage due to overloads and short-circuits. It is a medium-voltage, low-temperature motor protection fuse from Eaton Electrical. Its design is based on the Ferraz Mersen Fuse System Principle that provides superior product performance and system reliability.

The fuse has a two-level breaking capacity that ensures the safety of both the motor and the other components. Its integrated energy-limiting element limits the energy released due to a fault event, further protecting against system damage and downtime. This fuse is also designed with arc guards that dissipates heat, further reducing the risk of fire and explosion.

The fuse’s two-level breaking capacity works by first breaking the current at a low level, which will trip the motor’s overload protection, and then breaking the current at a higher level if the overload protection fails. This ensures that in the event of an overload, the motor will be protected from damaging currents.

The fuse’s thermal sensitivity is designed to allow it to operate at lower temperatures than other fuses, making it suitable for use with applications that need protection against extended or continuous overloads. The low temperature helps to reduce the risk of fire and explosion, as well as reducing the risk of expensive downtime due to thermal damage.

The fuse is constructed from a high quality, long lasting materials and is built to provide reliable operation in even the most demanding industrial applications. The high-performance design makes it suitable for use in a wide range of applications, from on-board motor protection to power distribution panel protection.

The 170M3812 electrical fuse has a voltage range of up to 5400V, and it is also UL listed and CSA approved. This ensures that the fuse is an excellent option for use in residential and commercial applications, as well as industrial applications. The fuse is designed to be easy to use and install, and it comes with all necessary fittings, so it can be quickly integrated into a system.
