Fuseholders: 3514 Application Field and Working Principle

Fuseholders are electrical devices that provide a safe and secure way to connect and / or disconnect fuse-equipped circuits. They are available in all shapes and sizes and can either be used with traditional fuses, or with newer, high-tech automotive fuse-equipped circuits. The 3514 series of fuseholders from Cooper Wiring Devices Incorporated are designed to use a common pin and fork pattern with a single screw system. This makes them ideal for low-voltage automotive circuits and provides protection against over-current, over-voltage, and short circuits.

Application Field

The Cooper Wiring Devices 3514 series of fuseholders are primarily designed for automotive applications. They are ideal for use with low-voltage circuits and can provide a safe connection in environments where regular maintenance or repairs may be necessary. The 3514 series is suitable for use in circuits with up to 10-gauge wire and is rated for up to 600V for isolated circuits. They can also be used in industrial or marine applications where the environment and/or temperature causes extra wear and tear on traditional components.

Working Principle

The Cooper Wiring Devices 3514 series of fuseholders use a basic working principle. Fuses are attached to the fuseholders with a common pin and a fork pattern. The pin is held in place by a screw, which makes the connection secure and safe. When the circuit is closed, current flows through the fuse holder and is processed through the device before it reaches the load. If the circuit is overloaded due to changes in voltage or current levels, the fuse will open the circuit and cut off the power supply to the connected device.

Advantages

The Cooper Wiring Devices 3514 series of fuseholders offer a number of advantages over traditional high-voltage fuses. They are simpler to install than high-voltage fuses, which require more wiring and protective devices. Additionally, these fuseholders are small and compact, making them suitable for use in tight spaces. They are designed to be durable and reliable for long-term use, and are able to withstand higher voltage and current levels.

Disadvantages

Despite the advantages of the Cooper Wiring Devices 3514 series, there are a few disadvantages to consider. First, these fuseholders are only rated up to 10-gauge wire, so they may not be suitable for installations that require heavier gauge wire. Second, the single screw design makes it difficult to reseal the joint after removal. Lastly, the fuseholders are not as resistant to higher temperatures as standard high-voltage fuses, so they should not be used in environments that experience frequent temperature changes.

Conclusion

The Cooper Wiring Devices 3514 series of fuseholders provide a safe and secure connection for low-voltage automotive circuits. They are small and simple to install, making them an ideal choice for tight spaces. The single screw design helps to ensure a secure and safe connection, and the fuseholders are rated up to 600V for isolated circuits. While there are some disadvantages to consider, such as the inability to reseal joints after removal and a lack of resistance to higher temperatures, the 3514 series still provides an effective and reliable way to connect circuits.
