3410.0031.04

Fuses are a type of electrical component that use a low-resistance wire to interrupt a circuit, protecting it from damage due to over-current. The 3410.0031.04 fuse is a high-current fuse designed for industrial applications and is suitable for normal operation with currents up to 120 Amps. It is also capable of withstanding short-term overloads up to 180 Amps.

The 3410.0031.04 is housed in a small metallic case which is connected to two ⅜” male threaded terminals for easy installation. On the outside of the case are two indicator lamps that indicate whether the fuse is in operation or not. The fuse is also equipped with a lockout device that disconnects the circuit if an overload is detected.

Working Principle: The 3410.0031.04 fuse operates on the principle of thermal energy transfer. A small amount of electrical current is allowed to flow through the low-resistance wire, causing it to heat up. As the temperature of the wire increases, the fuse wire becomes more resistant to current flow, thereby limiting the overall current flowing through the circuit. Once the current reaches a certain threshold, the heat generated by the fuse causes it to melt, which quickly interrupts the circuit.

Applications: The 3410.0031.04 fuse can be used in a variety of industrial applications, such as high-voltage motors, transformers, auto starters, exhaust fans, lighting and other similar applications. It is also compatible with a wide range of secondary equipment, such as circuit breakers, contactors and overcurrent protection devices. Its high-current rating and fast reaction time make it an ideal choice for protecting circuits from potential over-currents. In addition, the lockout feature of the fuse ensures that even if the fuse melts, the circuit will still be disconnected.
