Fuseholders

Fuseholders are widely used in electrical installation and equipment. The 178.4265.0002 is a type of fuseholder that provides a secure and reliable connection for circuit protection. Its operating principle first involves switching power off and housing the fuse when needed. This type of fuseholder is perfect for protection against short-circuit and overload current.

Design

The 178.4265.0002 is a 1/2" DIN rail mounted, 2-pole fuseholder with a high interruption current capability of up to 10kA. It is rated at 32V AC/DC, 10A. This fuseholder is constructed with a thermoplastic polycarbonate body for increased strength and resistance to shock and vibration. The contacts are nickel-plated brass for improved electrical conductivity and corrosion resistance. The fuseholder uses either 5 x 20mm, 5 x 25mm, or 6.3 x 32mm fuses with secure mounting. It includes a keying system for safe and secure installation and disconnection and a write-on label for easy identification.

Applications

The 178.4265.0002 is designed for use in applications requiring short-circuit protection. This includes overload protection for low-voltage systems, control systems, lighting systems, and other electrical and electronic circuits. It is also suitable for applications with high short-circuit currents, such as motor control systems and contactors. The fuseholder can be mounted on standard DIN rail or directly onto a surface with the use of screws.

Working Principle

The working principle behind the 178.4265.0002 involves cutting off the power in the event of an overload or short circuit. The fuse will blow and the contact will hold the fuse in place. This type of fuseholder is rated for 10A and features a high interruption current capability of 10kA. This enables it to protect circuits from high overloads and short circuits. The fuseholder also includes a keying system for safe and secure installation and disconnection. Additionally, it has a write-on label for easy identification.

Advantages

The 178.4265.0002 fuseholder offers several advantages for circuit protection. It is rated for 10A and can handle up to 10kA interruption currents for reliable protection against short circuit and overload current. Additionally, it features a thermoplastic polycarbonate body for increased strength and resistance to shock and vibration. The contacts are nickel-plated brass for improved electrical conductivity and corrosion resistance, and the fuseholder includes a write-on label for easy identification.
