170M6243 Datasheet/PDFThe 170M6243 fuse is a small, lightweight, high current electrical device designed for circuit protection. It works by removing power from the circuit in the event of an over-current, thereby safeguarding the circuit from damage or losing data.
The 170M6243 is one of the most common fuses used in electrical applications. It is widely used in industrial, commercial, and residential applications and is often specified by engineers. This small, yet powerful fuse is designed to provide reliable circuit protection from an overload or short circuit condition without sacrificing the performance of the underlying system.
The 170M6243 fuse is designed for use with applications up to 25 A of current and 600 VAC of voltage. It is a specialty fuse with a primary function of protecting sensitive or sensitive equipment from an electrical overload. The fuse body is constructed from a thermoplastic material to provide excellent current-limiting protection, while the element is a copperxtal material, which can withstand high short-circuit currents with minimal damage.
The 170M6243 is designed to automatically open and disconnect a circuit when subjected to a sustained overload or a transient short-circuit current surge. When an overload or short circuit occurs in the protected circuit, the fuse immediately responds by melting the element, which in turn opens the electrical circuit and prevents further power from reaching the circuit.
The 170M6243 is also designed with an indicator, which will change its color from green to red when the fuse has reached it\'s maximum rated current and has tripped. This makes it easy to visually identify when the fuse has reached its rated limit. This feature allows for tactile feedback to the user or technician in the event a fuse has been used too long or if an overload has occurred.
The 170M6243 is a UL Recognized Component, which is a testament to its safety and reliability. Aside from its wide range of applications, the 170M6243 is also CE certified, which means it has been tested and complies with the relevant European safety standards.
The 170M6243 has both bi-metallic and thermal options in order to provide circuit protection for motors, transformers, computers, generators, ballasts, single-phase or three-phase AC systems, and many other electrical systems. The average life of the 170M6243 is 1000 hours at 10 A, and in most cases it will protect against an overload of 55 A.
In conclusion, the 170M6243 specialty fuse is a reliable, durable, and versatile device that is designed to protect circuits from damage or loss due to overload or short circuit conditions. With its UL Recognized Component certification and wide range of applications, the 170M6243 is well suited for many electrical systems.
