3101.0055 Application Field and Working Principle

3101.0055 Fuseholders functions by mounting a fuse component into an electric circuit in order to protect it from burn out, overload and other electrical occurrences. Available for various sizes, the fuseholder encloses a fuse within a housing usually constructed of durable plastic and houses a wire lead for electrical continuity.

3101.0055 Fuseholders offer circuit protection for both residential and commercial applications. These components are used in a variety of applications including electric motors, pumps, blowers, appiances, lighting systems, and office equipment.

The primary purpose of 3101.0055 Fuseholders is short-circuit protection. When a short-circuit occurs, a connection is created between two points in an electric circuit which results in high electron flow and generates excess heat to the component. The fuse element breaks the circuit current and eliminates the buildup of the heat.

The most common type of fuseholders are the cartridge-style, which use a spring-loaded plunger mechanism. These fuseholders contain a holder which contains a cylindrical fuse in the center. The fuseholder is connected to an electrical connection, and the plunger contacts the fuse to complete the circuit.

When the fuse is activated, the coil opens and cuts off the circuit. 3101.0055 Fuseholders contain a layer of insulation to protect the circuit elements in the event of a short-circuit. The holder is usually equipped with a reset switch to turn the circuit back on when the fuse has been replaced.

Safety is an important factor when using 3101.0055 Fuseholders. Fuseholders should always be tested to ensure they are the correct type for the application. Improperly used fuseholders with the wrong type of fuses can result in expensive damage to components and damage to the circuit.
