170M4695 Application Field and Working Principle

The 170M4695 is a Large power, adjustable overcurrent device made by Eaton. It is a special type of fuse that has been designed to provide greater control over the current supply in large power applications. The 170M4695 has a rated current of up to 6,000 A and a voltage protection level of up to 600 VAC. Additionally, it has an adjustable control range of 5-95% that can be adjusted according to the specific requirements of an application. It is UL Listed.

Application Field

The 170M4695 is designed for use in numerous large power applications. These primarily include energy distribution systems, such as those used in residential, commercial and industrial applications. It is also suitable for use in operating various lighting systems. Furthermore, it can be used in air conditioning and heating systems as well as in motor control networks.

Working Principle

The 170M4695 is designed so that the current drawn is limited to the acceptable range decided by the user. This means that the current must be limited by the adjustment parameters when the current reaches a certain value. The current is limited by the fuse element, which is composed of two blades connected to a copper strip. When the adjustable control range is exceeded, the blades melt and sever the connection, thus limiting the amount of current that flows through the device.

Advantages of the 170M4695

The 170M4695 has several advantages over traditional fuses. Firstly, it is adjustable, so the user can limit the current to the parameters set by them. This reduces the risk of fire or equipment damage caused by an electrical overload. Secondly, it provides greater control over the current in large power applications. Finally, the device has a long-life span and is UL Listed, meaning that it meets all safety standards.

Conclusion

The Eaton 170M4695 is a large power, adjustable overcurrent device that provides greater control over the current in numerous large power applications. It has a number of advantages over traditional fuses, including an adjustable control range, long life-span, and UL Listing.
