170M6349

The 170M6349 are special purpose fuses designed to provide a high level of electrical protection for high-ampacity circuits. They are often found in the power industry, such as for transmission lines, transformers, switchboards, and industrial motors, as well as applications such as medical equipment, air craft and military electronics. The 170M6349 are also used in the automotive industry for starter motors, ignition systems, airbag systems and other automotive applications.

The 170M6349 is a dual element, time-delay fuse that combines the functions of two fuses in a single unit. The fuse has a smaller current-limiting element, referred to as the primary element, and a larger, time-delay element. When current surges, the primary element will blow, while the time-delay element will absorb the surge energy, thereby protecting the system. The time-delay element is designed to clear higher inrush currents, but will reset on its own before causing any damage.

The 170M6349 has a high melting point and multiple current rating options, up to 1000A, and features a “dead-front” design. The dead-front construction ensures that the fuse element cannot be seen or touched and provides an extra level of safety in high-amperage applications. The 170M6349 also has a high-interrupt rating that can handle up to 200kA interrupting current.

The 170M6349 fuse is UL listed and RoHS compliant, and is rated for use up to 1000V. The fuse utilizes a fuse indicator that can be connected to a warning display or alarm to alert the operator of an impending fuse failure. The fuse is designed to sense an overload condition before the current reaches a level that would cause a sustained arcing condition.

The 170M6349 fuses are designed to meet a variety of standards, including UL, CSA, IEC and VDE for most of the various applications in which they are used. The fuse is designed to provide an effective level of protection for a wide range of current flows and voltages. The fuse features a 100% quality assurance program to ensure all parts are in optimal working condition.

In summary, the 170M6349 is a special purpose fuse designed to provide a high level of electrical protection for high-ampacity circuits. It provides dual element, time-delay protection along with a “dead-front” design, high interrupt rating, and the ability to warn of an impending fuse failure. The fuse is also compliant with the various international safety standards and has a 100% quality assurance program for parts. It is a reliable and effective safe for the power industry, medical equipment, aircraft and automotive industry, as well as many other applications.
