3405.0172.11

Fuses play an integral role in the functioning of various electrical and electronic circuits. The 3405.0172.11 fuse is a dual element time delay fusing system with a physical size of 0.6” (15.24 mm) x 0.4” (10.16 mm). The uses of this fuse are based on the application of the particular device, while its working principle depends on its design.

The application fields of the 3405.0172.11 fuse can span from industrial machines to home appliances, cars, computers and consumer electronics. Its low power rating capacity allows for the protection of circuits of a wide range of voltage and current ratings. In which the fuse is designed to cut off the flow of electric current when it exceeds a certain limit. The high-breaking capacities of this type of fuse make it suitable for most electrical and electronics systems.

The 3405.0172.11 fuse comes with dual element design which allows it to have a current sensitivity rating better than ordinary single element fuses. This feature helps the fuse to protect the electrical system from short circuit failures and other such incidents at higher levels of currents. The time delay feature of this type of fuse enables it to protect the equipment from any overload currents that are caused by short term motor start-ups or quick energizations of electric devices like air conditioners, heaters and pumps.

The working principle of the 3405.0172.11 fuses lies in its dual element construction, the working of both components i.e. the primary element and the secondary element has to be discussed separately.

The primary element i.e. the main fuse comes with a faster response time when compared to the secondary element, which also helps in protecting the circuit against high current. This high current protection is due to the fact that the primary element is designed to break the electric circuit, almost the instant when it has detected an overload or a short circuit in the circuit.

The secondary element on the other hand, is designed to break the electric circuit a few seconds after it has detected an over current or a short circuit. This delay provided by the secondary element allows the user to reset the circuit, in case of an overload or over current, thus provides protection against excessive and damaging currents.

The 3405.0172.11 fuse is the perfect choice for the protection of low voltage electronic devices which operate on small current limits. It features a small size, quick response time and an efficient dual element construction which makes it the ideal choice for protecting sensitive electronic devices. Therefore, for all those who are looking for reliable and effective fusing system in this lower power rating spectrum, the 3405.0172.11 fuse will be the perfect choice.
