170M5142

The 170M5142 is an electric specialty fuse specifically designed for maximum protection of residential substations that measure up to 2200 KVA. It is ideal for use in the various types of substations that require primary protection for transformers, capacitors and other related equipment. With its superior design, the 170M5142 offers a reliable and highly efficient protection system.

The primary purpose of an electric specialty fuse is to protect equipment from over-temperatures, overloads, faults and other conditions resulting from faulty operation of an electrical system or component. The 170M5142 offers a cost-effective, reliable and simple to use solution for primary protection at the residential substation.

The 170M5142 is constructed out of polymeric substance that is thermally stable, mechanically resistant and electrically conductive. This material provides superior protection against corrosion. It also features an insulated design for maximum safety and protection. The fuse contains a boron and tantalum combination that gives it excellent thermal and electrical characteristics.

The 170M5142 works by monitoring the electrical current in the system and automatically trips if the current exceeds the fuse\'s capacity. This ensures that the equipment remains protected even when electric current capacity is exceeded. In case of an overload, the current flow in the system is immediately reduced and the associated equipment is then protected from any damage.

In addition to its primary protection duties, the 170M5142 also offers tested and proven overload protection with a rated current of up to 2200 A. It also offers reliable isolation, ensuring that connections are secure and safe. It also features over-current protection to guard against the inadvertent operation of the fuse.

The 170M5142 is recognized as an essential element in the safety and reliability of electric systems and in the protection of electrical components from fault currents. It can be used in both residential and commercial settings. Additionally, it is commonly used in the installation of overhead and ground-mounted power lines, pre-wiring and fault protection.

Overall, the 170M5142 is an essential part of any electric system, providing superior protection from high temperature, overloads, faults and other conditions resulting from faulty operation of an electric system or component. Its unique combination of materials provides reliable protection and safety in both residential and commercial systems. It is highly reliable and cost-effective, making it an ideal choice for primary protection applications.
