It is available in either open or enclosed styles and can be used in a variety of applications.

Application Field

The 178.6150.0002 fuseholder is designed to provide secure, reliable protection for industrial level, high ampacity fusing applications. It is used in a variety of applications including residential, industrial, distribution, and commercial systems for overload, fault, short-circuit, or other types of protection. It can be used in main power supply lines, motor control, and other higher ampacity applications.

Working Principle

The working principle of the 178.6150.0002 is relatively simple. The device is designed to secure fuses to the DIN rail and provide firm electrical contact between the fuse and the circuit. It has a number of features that help make it an effective and reliable choice for industrial applications. Firstly, the fuseholder is equipped with two slots so that it can accommodate two separate fuses for use in redundant protection applications. It also features fingerproof terminals that prevent accidental contact with live parts, as well as an integrated connection lug that ensures a reliable connection and proper alignment between the fuseholder and the power supply.

Secondly, the 178.6150.0002 has an integrated spring-loaded pivot that helps ensure the fuseholder will remain securely mounted to the DIN rail. In addition, the contact holders are spring-loaded and made of silver-plated copper to avoid overheating problems. The fuseholder has an audible and visible warning when a fuse is in need of replacement, and it also has a secure locking mechanism that prevents accidental contact with live parts or accidental disconnection of the fuse.

Finally, the 178.6150.0002 offers a number of additional features to make it even more user friendly. It is corrosion and vibration resistant, and it has a wide range of operating temperatures from -30°C (-22°F) to +55°C (131°F). This makes it suitable for use in a wide variety of outdoor and industrial applications. The fuseholder is also UL listed and CSA certified for safety and reliability.

Conclusion

The 178.6150.0002 is a reliable and durable industrial fuseholder designed for use in high ampacity applications. Its features make it an effective and reliable choice for a variety of industrial and residential applications.
