3404.0013.11 Application Field and Working Principle

Introduction

Fuses are devices used to protect electrical equipment from over-current damage or overloads. They come in a variety of shapes, sizes, and applications, as well as different materials and ratings. The 3404.0013.11 Fuse is an industry standard-sized, panel mount, Class K Fuse used for over-current protection of electrical and electronic circuits in industrial, commercial, and residential applications. It is perfect for use in small motor applications, DC electric motors, lighting fixtures, and control panels.

Design and Working Principle

The 3404.0013.11 Fuse has a cylindrical body design with an anodized aluminum body and black plastic end caps. It is marked with an operating voltage of 250V AC and a current rating of 13A. The fuse has two metalized plates protected against electrical arcing. The two plates are designed to close when the electrical current reaches the defined rating and thus cause an interruption in the electrical circuit. The fuse is designed to open immediately upon reaching its maximum current rating, thus protecting the network from any excessive current.

The fuse further comprises a thermal-magnetic device to provide supplementary protection in the event of sudden increase or decrease of electrical current. This prevents a fault in one device from taking down other components which are in the same circuit. The thermal-magnetic device is made up of a thermal protector and a magnetic overload protection device. The thermal protector heats up when the current of the fuse is too high. The magnetic overload protection device is activated when the current reaches its maximum rating and causes it to trip.

Benefits

The 3404.0013.11 Fuse offers a variety of benefits and advantages. It is designed for long-term in-circuit protection for both AC and DC circuits. It provides high-temperature and low-temperature protection as well. This helps protect the circuit against current surges that may occur in the event of power failures. Its thermal-magnetic protection helps ensure that the fuse will not fail unexpectedly for any reason and will always work to protect the circuit.

In addition, the fuse consumes less energy as compared to other fuses of comparable ratings. This means that it will help save energy costs in the long run. The fuse also requires less maintenance and is extremely reliable. Its components have been tested and certified to meet the highest industry standards.

Conclusion

The 3404.0013.11 Fuse is an industry-standard, panel-mounted, Class K fuse. It provides over-current protection of electrical and electronic circuits in industrial, commercial, and residential applications. It features an anodized aluminum body and black plastic end caps, a thermal-magnetic device, and a current rating of 13A. The fuse offers high-temperature and low-temperature protection, as well as energy savings, reliability, and less maintenance.
