Fuses

2JS 500 Fuses are an array of miniature overcurrent safety devices designed to protect electrical lines and circuits. They provide highly sensitive but reliable protection for the system and components against overcurrent conditions, including short circuits, overloads, faulty component connections, etc. A 2JS 500 fuse is capable of interrupting an overcurrent of up to 500 A at 1000 VAC of alternating current (AC).

Application Field

2JS 500 fuses are typically used in multi-phase high voltage power distribution systems, where supplying power to the load requires connecting the load to multiple phases. They can also be used in consumer-level applications such as domestic appliances, meaning that a connection to multiple AC phases is not required. In addition, these fuses can be used in audio and video systems to protect components against short circuits and overvoltage conditions.

Working Principle

The working principle of a 2JS 500 fuse is based on the rapid evaporation of a thin metal strip in response to overcurrent. When overloads or short circuits occur, a high surge of current passes through the fuse, heating up the metal strip. This heating causes the strip to evaporate quickly, thus interrupting the electric current. The evaporating metal strip also absorbs some of the heat, ensuring that the system remains undamaged. The rapid response of the fuse allows it to provide protection in a timely manner.

In some cases, a 2JS 500 fuse can be used in conjunction with other safety components such as overvoltage suppressors, circuit breakers, and contactors. These components can offer additional protection for the system against overvoltage and overload conditions. To ensure maximum protection, the fuse should be selected with the correct rating and characteristics that match the system.

Construction and Design

A 2JS 500 fuse typically consists of two parts: an outer casing and an inner element. The outer casing is usually made of stainless steel and serves as the protective shield for the element. The inner element is made of a thin metal strip that is designed to evaporate rapidly in the event of an overcurrent condition. This metal strip is enclosed in a ceramic body and insulated with a layer of polyurethane foam. The ceramic body and foam further increase the fuse’s insulation and provide additional protection from heat and vibration.

The 2JS 500 fuse is also equipped with a set of terminals. These terminals allow the fuse to be connected to the circuit, allowing it to sense the current and activate its protective properties in the event of a fault. The terminals are also used to attach an arc suppressor, which is a safety component that reduces the possibility of sparks or thermal radiation in the event of an arc fault.

Advantages

2JS 500 fuses provide reliable overcurrent protection in a wide range of applications. They can be used for both single-phase and multi-phase systems, making them a versatile solution for protecting different types of equipment. Additionally, the outer casing and the construction of the element ensures protection from mechanical damage and thermal radiation, respectively. This ensures that the fuse will provide reliable and efficient protection for a long time.

Disadvantages

One disadvantage of a 2JS 500 fuse is that it is not suitable for low-voltage applications. This is because the evaporation of the inner element requires much higher currents than those present in low-voltage systems. Additionally, the fuse requires a well-trained operator in order to ensure correct installation and maintenance. Finally, the fuse’s arc suppressor can be prone to failure, leading to sparks and thermal radiation that can damage the surrounding components.
