500E6PT5.5

The 500E6PT5.5 Electrical Specialty Fuse is an essential component for many electrical applications. This fuse is designed with a durable construction to provide one of the most trusted fusing solutions on the market. As a supplementary devices, the 500E6PT5.5 is used as an additional layer of protection when greater current loads arise in larger scale systems.

The 500E6PT5.5’s construction design relies on a conductor or element that uses a copper alloy to maintain its desired mechanical and electrical properties. A steel tin nickel plated body also provides a reliable protective shell for the copper element. The element is connected to a welded ferrule that helps to secure it within the body. An insert is also welded in between the terminal and current carrying plug in order to close it.

This 500E6PT5.5 fuse is best suited for industrial application, and it is rated up to 250 volts AC with 350 volts DC power. It also has a detonation rating of 10,000 amps and a interrupting rating of 100,000 amps. As a result, it is perfect for larger current loads when higher explosive power is desired. The 500E6PT5.5 also has a nominal power consumption of 5.5 watts, making it easy to install and economical to maintain.

The 500E6PT5.5 fuse is also very versatile, able to be mounted horizontally, vertically, or at any angle in a circuit. It can be used in combination with other conductors and also be mounted on bus bars with or without special adapters. As a supplementary protection device, the 500E6PT5.5 can also be used to detect and protect against short-circuiting, overloading, over-voltage, and thermal faults.

The 500E6PT5.5 fuse’s working principle is based on current interruption. When the current passes through the element, the fuse should detonate or blow if an over-current situation arises. Excess current flows will create heat and cause the element to melt and open the circuit. It should be noted that the inrush current doesn’t count against this fuse as it safety mechanism will only be triggered upon passing a certain current value.

The 500E6PT5.5 fuse is an essential component when extra safety or protection is desired when dealing with larger current loads. This fuse’s versatility, practical design, and superior performance make it one of the top choices for electrical applications and the most trusted supplementary device on the market.
