Fuses

A fuse is an electrical protection device which operates to provide overcurrent protection of an electrical circuit including the source of power and the load. The 3405.0168.11 is an industrial-grade fuse which works in a wide range of applications and provides outstanding protection and reliability. It is available in different sizes and ratings to meet the needs of a variety of industrial applications.

Application Field

The 3405.0168.11 fuse is ideal for use in industrial environments, especially wherever large currents must be contained. It is designed for applications with 400V AC/DC and 500V DC, and can be used with up to 80 amperes of current. The fuse is particularly useful for isolated systems, and can be mounted either horizontally or vertically, making it suitable for a wide range of industrial environments. It is also used in automotive and marine applications, as well as in telecommunications, renewable energy, instrumentation, power, and automotive control systems, and in many other industrial applications.

Working Principle

The 3405.0168.11 fuse operates on the simple principle of melting metal in the event of an excessive or imbalance in current. It works by introducing a strip of metal with an electrical resistance across an electrical circuit. When the normal current flows through it, heat is generated which, in turn, melts the metal. In the event of an overcurrent or short-circuit condition, the metal “fuses” and breaks the circuit. This allows the circuit to be de-energized before permanent damage is caused.

The 3405.0168.11 fuse is constructed from a nickel alloy which is heat resistant and fuse-responsive, ensuring reliable operation. It also uses a cross-piece bridge contact which increases its efficiency and reduces the risk of a failed connection in the event of a short-circuit. The fuse also features a double break design which improves its performance in a variety of applications.

The 3405.0168.11 fuse is also UL-listed, rated at 1,500 volts and 250 amperes, and has a temperature range of -40° to +90° Celsius. It is designed for use with a wide range of voltage and current sources, making it suitable for a variety of applications. It is also environmentally friendly, containing no hazardous materials and being completely recyclable.
