5MT 160 Fuses

5MT 160 Fuses are one of the most common types of fuse used in industrial applications. They are a low-cost, reliable, and durable option for protecting your electrical equipment, circuits, and systems from potential damage due to overloads and short circuits.

Applications

5MT 160 Fuses are designed for use in motors, lighting systems, air conditioners, electrical circuits, and a variety of other applications. They are often the preferred fuse for applications requiring an exceptionally low voltage rating, such as those found in HVAC systems. They are rated for voltage protection up to 800V AC or DC.

In addition, 5MT 160 Fuses can be used in higher voltage applications due to their excellent voltage breakdown strength. Their ability to break the circuit at much higher voltages allows them to be used in a wider variety of applications than many other types of fuses.

Design and Working Principle

5MT 160 Fuses are based on the design of the ATQ (Axial Tension Quick Blow) fuse. These fuses feature a unique design that allows them to quickly react to an overload or short circuit and disconnects the circuit. The design of these fuses helps prevent excessive current from flowing, which can damage or destroy the equipment or system.

The 5MT 160 fuse is composed of a highly conductive metal core with a surrounding metal sheath. The metal core conducts current and the metal sheath protects the core from electrical arcing or other damage. When an overload or short circuit is detected, the metal core heats up and melts, disconnecting the circuit. This helps ensure that the equipment or system is adequately protected from damage.

Advantages

• Low cost
• Reliable and durable
• Low voltage rating
• High voltage breakdown strength
• Fast response for overloads or short circuits

Conclusion

The 5MT 160 Fuse is a reliable, affordable, and durable option for protecting equipment, circuits, and systems from damage due to overloads and short circuits. With its low voltage rating and high voltage breakdown strength, it can be used in a wide variety of applications. It is well-suited for motors, lighting systems, air conditioners, and other electrical circuits that require low voltage protection.
