170M6359

The 170M6359 Fuse is commonly used in various electrical applications due to its reliable performance and strong safety features. This fuse is an AC voltage type, single-phase, Class G, time-delay fuse, featuring an arc-quenching chamber. It offers excellent protection against overloads and short circuits and is designed to safely remove power when needed.

The 170M6359 Fuse has a rated voltage range of 120 or 240 volts, as well as a rated current range of 15 to 30 amps. Additionally, the rated breaking capacity of the fuse is 10 kAIC. This fuse is constructed with silver-plated copper contacts that are mounted within an arc-quenching chamber. The fuse also features a temperature-controlled spring return action for automatic resetting.

The working principle of the 170M6359 Fuse is quite simple. When an overload or short circuit occurs, the fuse’s element melts due to the increased current flow. This causes the contacts of the fuse to separate, disconnecting the circuit and thus removing power from the connection. When the circuit cools down, the temperature-controlled spring reset the element, restoring normal current flow to the circuit.

The 170M6359 Fuse is suitable for various electrical systems such as residential and commercial circuit breakers. It is commonly used in sensitive electronic equipment, such as circuit boards, power supplies, computers, and medical machines. This fuse also works great for preventing fires, since it removes power immediately when an overload or short circuit is detected.

Overall, the 170M6359 Fuse is an excellent choice for industrial and residential fuse applications. With its reliable performance and strong safety features, this fuse provides a safe and effective way of protecting electronic circuits against overloads or short circuits.
