2JQ 200

Fuses

A Fuse is an electrical device designed to protect electrical circuits from over-current conditions. It acts as a safety mechanism by providing a predictable point of failure that limits the flow of electricity, and also to prevent damage to electrical sources and components.

2JQ 200 application field and working principle is based on a fuse operating on a low voltage system. It offers the ideal solution when it comes to protection of sensitive equipment within equipment racks or control panels.The fuse would be applied on the primary side of the installation and would be linked to the equipment’s power supply.The fuse features a ceramic body which houses the fuse element and an integral over-current protection device. This device is activated when the circuit exceed the preset current level. The device then breaks the circuit, cutting off the power supply to the equipment, preventing it from further damage.

The current rating of the 2JQ 200 is 0.5A to 16A and it’s typical applications include in control panels, power supplies, audio systems, lighting systems and electric motors.

The construction of the 2JQ 200 is a ceramic fuse body and a tin-plated copper path inside the ceramic body. The fuse element is a special glass ceramic compound which until it melts, will protect the electric circuits from exceeding the rated current value and the overload condition. Its ability to limit the current is consistent regardless of the direction of applied power.

When a fault occurs and the fuse is blown, it is advisable to replace the fuse with the same type of fuse to ensure the same level of protection. For the2JQ 200, there are several types of fuses available including the 2JQ 200-PL, 2JQ 200-RG and 2JQ 200-LN fuses.

In summary, the 2JQ 200 is an ideal choice for low voltage systems because of its simplicity, robust construction and effective protection against over-current. Its use in control panels, power supplies, audio systems, lighting systems and electric motors ensures that the system runs safely and efficiently without causing any damage to the equipment.
