7100.1171.96 Application Field and Working Principle

The 7100.1171.96 series of fuses is widely used in a variety of applications. These fuses are made up of several components, and when a current greater than the rated value flows through the circuit, an electric arc is formed between the fuse elements, interrupting the current. It is a key component in preventing fires and power surge damage, especially in areas with high ambient temperatures.

Structure Description

The 7100.1171.96 series of fuses have one standard cylindrical shape body design. The body is made up of zinc alloy material and has an anti-rotation design that allows the fuse to withstand vibration. The bottom of the fuse has a threaded extension, which is used for the installation and fixing of the fuse holder.

The 7100.1171.96 series of fuses are divided into intrinsically safe fuses and detonation-proof fuses. Both fuses use ceramic protection tubes as the main structural components. On the ceramic protection tube, there are two or more leading wires,which form a conductive fuse element.

At the other end of the ceramic protection tube, there is a metal cap. which is screwed on to the head of the tube. The metal cap has two holes, into which the electrical contacts are fitted. The contacts are connected to the circuit, transferring the current to the fuse element. When a current greater than the rated value flows through the circuit, an electric arc is formed between the fuse elements, interrupting the current.

Applications

The 7100.1171.96 series of fuses are suitable for voltage of 80V to 250V AC and rated current of 0.2A to 63A. They are widely used in power containers, such as electrical control cabinets, distribution boxes, meters, motors, high frequency power supplies, and other occasions with high-power current needs.

The detonation-proof fuse is mainly used in the environment prone to explosion, such as mines, oil fields and other environments containing flammable gas. This ensures that the application environment is not hazardous to personnel and property.

Working Principle

The 7100.1171.96 series of fuses are designed to react to an overload or short circuit. If the current through the fuse is more than its rated value for a certain period of time, an electric arc will be formed between the fuse elements. The arc breaks the circuit, and the current will drop rapidly. The fuse will not open due to instantaneous overload. Therefore, during operation, if the current suddenly increases due to short circuit or overload, etc., the fuse can effectively cut off the current.

The 7100.1171.96 series of fuses can quickly suppress the temperature rise and effectively avoid the thermal breakdown of the circuit. The fuse ensures the safe operation of the circuit, and can protect the electrical equipment from overload, short circuit and discharge. It also prevents the circuit from generating sparks, and reduces the risk of fire.

Conclusion

The 7100.1171.96 series of fuses are suitable for a wide range of applications, and are available in a variety of sizes and current ratings. They have robust design and are reliable in operation, making them ideal for use in power containers and other high power applications. They are also great for use in the field of detonators, as they are very effective at suppressing spark generation and reducing the risk of fire.
