3414.0114.26.M Circuit Protection

3414.0114.26.M Application Field and Working Principle

The 3414.0114.26.M type fuse has been a widely used safety device for electrical overcurrent protection, particularly for low voltage installation. It is mainly applied in commercial and residential buildings, banks, hotels, shopping malls, factories and amusement parks for protection of system overload, short-circuit and earth-leakage.

Basically, 3414.0114.26.M type fuse is a type of electronic device that contains a material such as metal alloy that melts and breaks a circuit when a predetermined current flows through it. It is composed of two or more electrical contacts that can be opened or closed when needed. The fuse must be placed in an ELECTRICAL line to protect the equipment from harmful electrical overcurrents. If the flow of current in the equipment or circuit exceeds the rated current or voltage, the material inside the fuse melts, opening the circuit and stopping the flow of electricity.

This type of fuse is characterized by fast response time, high reliability, easy installation, current-limiting function, overload protection and good dust-proof effect. When an overload or short-circuit current occurs, the fuse can quickly detect the current, open the circuit, cut off the over voltage current and protect the circuit and equipment from damage. In order to achieve these purposes, the switch needs to have the characteristics of high operating temperature, fast response time and long life.

The working principle of 3414.0114.26.M type fuse is simple but reliable. When the normal operating current flows in the circuit, the current through the fuse is the same as that through the connected electronic equipment. As the current increases, the generated heat can be quickly transferred to the insulated or thermally conductive metal parts of the fuse, and then flow out to the atmosphere. When the current perimeter increases to a certain value, the internal fuse material will melt, the contact point will break and the circuit will be open. This lessens the current through the device, thus preventing damage to the device and circuit.

The fuse elements of this type of fuse are made of metal alloys or oxide-based materials. These materials have high intrinsic resistivity and large thermal capacity, so that it can work in electric circuits with different current ratings. In addition, the materials used for this type of fuse have been carefully designed for maximum thermal stability to ensure that the fuse will not be affected by high temperature or vibration.

The 3414.0114.26.M type fuse provides a reliable way to protect electrical equipment and the circuit from catastrophic damage caused by an overload or short-circuit current. It is superior to other types of fuses due to its fast response time, high thermal stability, easy installation, overload protection and dust-proof effect. With so many benefits, this type of fuse has become a popular choice for low-voltage applications.
