Electrical, Specialty Fuses - 170M6140 Application Field and Working Principle

Electrical specialty fuses are an essential part of any electrical system, protecting equipment and ensuring the safety of personnel. A particular type of specialty fuse is the 170M6140 UL Listed Heavy Concentric Neutral Low Voltage Fuse that is ideal for preventing shock hazards caused by overcurrents. The application field and working principle of this type of fuse will be explained in this article.

Application Field of 170M6140 Fuses

The 170M6140 Concentric Neutral Low Voltage Fuses are designed for use in the AC/DC low voltage circuits of the power distribution system. These fuses are particularly well suited for use in residential, commercial and industrial areas where the system voltage is 120V or below.

This type of fuse can be used in branch circuits that have UL Listed Neutral Connectors, as well as UL Listed Panelboards and Plug-In Single-phase Load Centers. They can be used as a main or branch overcurrent protection device and are suitable for use with ungrounded, neutral or grounded systems.

This type of fuse is ideal for use in the protection of appliances such as heaters, refrigerators, washing machines, air conditioners and other electrical equipment. It is also commonly used in other applications such as transformers, circuit breakers, motors and other large pieces of equipment.

Working Principle of 170M6140 Fuses

The working principle of the 170M6140 Heavy Concentric Neutral Low Voltage Fuse is based on the principle of overcurrent protection. When the current through the fuse exceeds a predetermined value, the fusible element (element) melts or vaporizes, creating an open circuit and shutting off the current flow.

The fuse is designed to interrupt the current quickly, in a matter of milliseconds, thus limiting its energy release and preventing any damage to the electrical system. It also automatically resets after the power has been shut off.

The fuse consists of a metal strip or wire that melts or vaporizes when the current through it exceeds the fuse\'s rated capacity. This metal strip is positioned between two contacts and it is protected by a spring-loaded plunger mechanism. When the current increases beyond the rated capacity, the plunger is forced to open quickly, interrupting the current flow without allowing the metal strip to become molten.

The 170M6140 fuses feature UL Listed Time/Current Characteristics that ensure that the fuse trips quickly enough to prevent a hazardous situation from occurring. They also have a high interruption capacity in order to protect valuable equipment from damage due to overcurrents.

Conclusion

The 170M6140 UL Listed Heavy Concentric Neutral Low Voltage Fuse is an essential safety device designed to protect people and equipment from hazards caused by overcurrents. This type of fuse is ideal for use in residential, commercial and industrial areas and is suitable for use with ungrounded, neutral or grounded systems.

The working principle of the fuse is based on the principle of overcurrent protection, whereby the metal strip melts or evaporates when the current through it exceeds the fuse\'s rated capacity. This causes the plunger to open quickly, interrupting the current, and the fuse automatically resets after the power is switched off. The 170M6140 fuses also feature UL Listed Time/Current Characteristics which guarantee that it trips quickly enough to prevent injury and damage.
