3404.0113.22 Circuit Protection

Fuses

A fuse is a safety device in electrical circuits that acts like a link, or a bridge, between two power sources. It works by creating a circuit between the two power sources that can be easily broken if the current drawn by the circuit exceeds the rated Amp rating. In this way, it prevents overcurrents or currents that are too high from reaching the circuit and causing electrical surges, short circuits or other issues.

The 3404.0113.22 application field is in general purpose control applications where higher amperage protection is needed. It is designed to provide overload and short circuit protection in public and industrial applications where high load current is expected. It can be used to protect products, motor starters and various other electronic components from current overloads.

The work principle of the 3404.0113.22 application fuse is based on the principle of temperature rise. It has a bimetallic strip that senses when the heat due to the current being drawn exceeds the maximum current rating of the fuse. When this happens, the bimetallic strip causes the link between the two power sources to break or "blow," effectively cutting off power to that portion of the circuit. The fuse must then be replaced before the circuit can function again.

Since it has a bimetallic strip, the 3404.0113.22 application fuse is one of the most reliable and accurate type of fuses on the market, providing an extra layer of safety and protection in any system. It also requires less maintenance than other types of fuses since it can be left in place without requiring regular checks on the performance of the strip.
