170M4113

The 170M4113 is an electrical specialty fuse which is often used in industrial and commercial settings, including circuit protection in areas such as power distribution, motor control, lighting, renewable energy, and transportation. It is one of the fuses in the 177M Series of electrical specialty fuses from Eaton Bussmann.

The 170M4113 fuse is classified as a fast-acting fuse with time delay features. Fast-acting fuses are designed for current limiting protection in circuit protection devices such as circuit breakers and fusible links. Time delay features allow for an extra level of protection, by taking into account the increased load and allowing current to pass to the load rather than interupting it abruptly.

A fundamental indicator of a fuse’s capability is its interrupting rating, which is a measure of its ability to cut off an electrical current in order to prevent possible damage to a protected device. The 170M4113 fuse has an interrupting rating of up to 200kA at 305VAC, which makes it suitable for high-power industrial applications.

The 170M4113 fuse has a smaller size than many other fuses, so it is easy to use and integrate in electrical systems. It is also available in different wire sizes, from 14 AWG to 26 AWG. This makes it relatively easy to find the right size for a particular application.

The principle of operation of the 170M4113 fuse is simple. It consists of two elements, an electromagnet and a bimetal strip. The electromagnet is connected to the AC power input, while the bimetal strip is connected to the output. When too much current passes through the bimetal strip, it heats up and deforms. This causes the fuse to break the circuit, which prevents any further current flow and protects the device.

In short, the Eaton Bussmann 170M4113 is an electrical specialty fuse designed for use in industrial and commercial applications. It features fast-acting and time delay characteristics, and its small size and wide range of wire sizes make it a suitable choice for many applications. Its interrupting rating of up to 200kA at 305VAC makes it suitable for high-power applications, and its simple working principle makes it easy to install and use.
