8040.0003

Fuseholders provide reliable and safe protection for circuits, both domestic and industrial, in the event of a short circuit, and 8040.0003 fuseholders are no exception. They are designed to provide a connection between the low-voltage feeder or fuses and the load.Made of sturdy thermoplastic material, the 8040.0003 fuseholder offers superior protection of components from exceptional stability, good insulation, flame retardance, and vibration resistance. It is used as a single-pole fuseholder, allowing it to be used as a current limiter in a wide range of applications. The 8040.0003 fuseholder has a universal fixing, making it suitable for use in both control panels and motor circuits, and its design ensures that the fuses can be changed safely and easily.

The primary application field that makes use of the 8040.0003 fuseholder is industrial control circuits, including motor control panels. The fuseholder is rated for up to 32 amperes and is available with fuses of either ceramic or high-current disc composition.

The working principle of the 8040.0003 is relatively straightforward. The fuseholder consists of two metal contacts that are connected via a fuse. When a short circuit occurs, the fuseholder senses the surge in current and opens the circuit, preventing further damage from being done to the components. In normal operation, the contacts remain closed, allowing the circuit to flow freely.

The 8040.0003 fuseholder is an essential component for electrical systems, providing reliable and safe protection for the components of circuits. It is a highly effective way of limiting current and it can be easily installed in circuit boards, control panels, and other equipment.
