Application Field and Working Principle

Application Field

The Eaton Bussmann 170M7516 is designed for use in automotive, marine, commerical and industrial applications. It is suitable for protecting electrical circuits in automobiles, boats, trucks, RVs and other applications requiring protection from short circuits and overloads. The fuse can also be used in medical and recreational equipment, lighting, motors, and alternate energy applications.

Working Principle

The Eaton Bussmann 170M7516 is designed with a metal strip that senses the amount of current flowing through it. When too much current passes through it, the metal strip will melt, allowing an arc to form. This arc will break the circuit, preventing it from overheating and causing damage. The fuse will then need to be replaced with a new one in order to restore power.
