3588 Circuit Protection

Fuseholders

3588 fuseholders are high performance and reliable products especially designed for high temperature and highly chemical resistant applications, such as those in refineries or petrochemical facilities. Fuseholders are also widely used in aerospace, military, and industrial applications because of their potential to withstand extreme conditions.

A 3588 Fuseholder is a device with built-in functionality designed to protect electrical devices from overloads and short-circuits. It consists of a metal holder that encases a fuse, a conductive element housed in a support, and one or more terminals. The terminals provide a safe link between the protected device and the power source.

The 3588 Fuseholder is designed to completely cover the fuse, protecting it from damage. It also has a positive-break mechanical certificate, meaning when the fuse is removed, it will break the connection between the circuit and protect it from overload. The fuseholder is also designed to be liable to temperature fluctuations and corrosion, due to the materials used.

This is why applications for 3588 Fuseholders extend to include automotive industries, consumer products, telecoms, medical equipment, and automation machinery. They can be used in any application where overload and short-circuits need to be detected and prevented.

The working principle for the 3588 Fuseholder is quite straightforward. When a fault is detected, the contact marks its contact in the fuseholder, causing it to break the circuit and shut down the protected device. This action prevents damage to the device and the surrounding components.

There are several types of 3588 Fuseholders, such as panel mount, open-style, spring-clamp, and hard-shell. The specific type to be used in a particular application depends upon the environment, the application requirements, and other safety design considerations.

In addition to the fuseholder, there are several other components that are necessary for the proper installation and operation which include fuses, fuses of various ratings, and wire terminals. It is important to choose the right fuse and wire terminal for a particular application as this will influence the efficiency and safety of the system.

3588 Fuseholders are an essential component in the protection chain of any electrical system, providing reliable protection against overloads and short-circuits. As such they are a common choice for applications in the aerospace, military, consumer products, telecoms, medical equipment, automotive, and automation machinery field.
