Fuses

A fuse is an electrical safety device that acts as a sacrificial element to protect devices or circuits from damage due to a sudden surge of current. It is usually made of a metal strip or wire, that melts when overloaded, thereby interrupting the current. Fuses are available in different sizes and styles, with various current ratings and temperature ratings. The 7010.3520 fuse is a 250V, 6 to 10 amp, fast-acting type fuse used in a variety of applications.

7010.3520 Applications

The 7010.3520 consists of a fuse element, along with a metal carrier and a plastic housing. It is designed to provide circuit protection for electric motors, fluorescent lighting, transformers, and various other types of electrical equipment. It can also be used in appliances such as fans, air conditioners, refrigerators, and microwave ovens. It is also used in residential and commercial solar panel applications.

7010.3520 Working Principle

The 7010.3520 operates by interrupting an electrical circuit when the current flowing through it exceeds its rated value. This is accomplished by the fuse element melting when the current passes through it, thereby breaking the circuit. The fuse element is made of a metal strip that has a relatively low melting point, usually below the normal operating temperature of the electrical equipment. The metal strip is inserted into a metal carrier with two parallel contacts. The contacts are joined to the electrical equipment on either side. When an overload occurs, it melts the fuse element and interrupts the circuit, thereby protecting the equipment from further damage.

Conclusion

The 7010.3520 is a fast-acting type fuse used to provide circuit protection for a variety of electrical appliances and equipment. It is available in different sizes and has various current ratings and temperature ratings. Its working principle is based on the metal strip melting at an overload current, thereby interrupting the electrical circuit. The 7010.3520 is a reliable and cost-effective way of providing circuit protection for electrical equipment.
