Fuses

3422.0017.11 Application Field and Working Principle

Fuses are electrical devices that are used to provide over-current protection for electric equipment. This includes power supplies, industrial machinery, computers, and other high-voltage installations. Fuses are available in both AC and DC models and come in many different shapes, sizes, and ratings.

The 3422.0017.11 Fuse is a medium-duty AC or DC Fuse rated for up to 220V and 20A. The 3422.0017.11 Fuse is commonly used in applications such as residential or commercial air conditioning systems, motor controllers, and small capacitor-type rectifiers. The fuse is also used in power supplies and other equipment that require protection from over-current conditions.

Fuses work by utilizing a metal wire that is designed to heat up when the circuit is overwhelmed by more current than is needed. This heating causes the fuse to melt, breaking the circuit and stopping the flow of electricity. This helps protect the circuit and other equipment from potential permanent damage due to an overload.

The 3422.0017.11 Fuse has a body made from polyamide and a metal contact strip that are fitted together to form a single unit. The metal contact strip is connected to the electrical circuit and is responsible for conducting the current and providing over-current protection.

The 3422.0017.11 Fuse also features a pressure pin that is designed to hold the pin in place inside the fuse\'s body. The pressure pin is also used to detect voltage drop across the circuit. If a voltage drop is detected, the pressure pin will activate, causing the fuse to break and stop the flow of electricity.

Fuses are an essential safety measure in all types of electrical systems. The 3422.0017.11 Fuse provides reliable over-current protection for air conditioning systems, motor controllers, power supplies, and other applications. The unique design of the fuse ensures that it will safely stop the flow of electricity if an overload is detected.
