3402.0009.22 Circuit Protection

The 3402.0009.22 fuse is a commonly used component in many industrial, automotive, and residential applications. This type of fuse is a cartridge fuse with a blade-type blade-tip design that allows it to fit easily into standard fuse compartments. The size of the 3402.0009.22 fuse is 0.7 inch in diameter, 5 inches in length, and 0.31 inch in width. The time delay rating of the 3402.0009.22 fuse is 10,000 A at 30 VDC. It is UL, CSA, and VDE approved.

This type of fuse is designed to provide reliable circuit protection against excessive current. It helps to limit the amount of current that can flow through a circuit by acting as an automatic switch that trips when the current passing through it exceeds a specific limit. It is often used in industrial and motor-related applications such as controlling motor speed and protecting motor windings.

The 3402.0009.22 fuse is also commonly used in residential and commercial applications such as lighting fixtures, home appliances, air conditioning systems, and power supplies. It is also used to protect small electronics such as radios, computers, and other consumer electronics.

The 3402.0009.22 fuse works on a simple principle – it contains a thin metallic filament which is designed to heat up and break when the maximum allowed current exceeds its ratings. When the fuse is subjected to excessive current, the thin wire heats up and evaporates, which causes a break in the circuit, resulting in the fuse tripping.

Unlike circuit breakers, fuses are non-reusable components – once they have melted and tripped, they must be replaced with new ones. Therefore, choosing the correct size of fuse for your application is essential – if the fuse is too weak, it will be too slow to trip when necessary, while if it is too large, it may never trip before causing significant damage.
