Fuses

Fuses are an essential safety component found in many modern electrical and electronic devices and systems. They are designed to quickly and safely interrupt the flow of electricity when extra high current or voltage is detected in an area of an electrical device or system. Fuses have a wide range of applications in domestic, commercial and industrial settings.

3402.0005.11 Application Field and Working Principle

The 3402.0005.11 series of fuses is designed for use in a wide range of industrial applications, ranging from HVAC to mining, as well as in agricultural and specialized marine settings. These fuses are designed for AC applications in 50 and 60Hz systems, and they are suitable for use with single-phase motors operating at up to 600V. The current ratings on these fuses range from 0.25A to 25A, and the trip times are short-delay (less than 500ms).

The 3402.0005.11 fuses use the standard cylindrical body design with a ceramic tube inside filled with silica sand and a silver spiral around the tube. The sand creates a path for the electricity to flow, and the silver spiral creates a heating effect when the current flows. When the current exceeds the fuse\'s rated current, the fuse heats up and the sand melts, breaking the current path and interrupting the flow of electricity. This action takes place within 500ms of the overload, and the fuse automatically resets when the current is reduced.

These fuses offer a variety of advantages and features, including a high current-interruption capability, overload protection, high withstand capability, and a low response time. The ceramic body provides a high degree of protection from vibration, corrosion, and temperature changes, making them ideal for many industrial settings with high levels of environmental stress.

The 3402.0005.11 series of fuses is certified to UL and cUL standards, and meet the other relevant environmental and product safety requirements. These fuses have proven to be a reliable and cost-effective solution in many industrial, commercial, and domestic applications.

In summary, the 3402.0005.11 series of fuses is suitable for a wide variety of AC applications in 50 and 60Hz systems from HVAC to mining. They offer a high level of safety and reliability, and they can provide effective overload protection in challenging environmental conditions.
