AFX-60 Application Field and Working Principle

The AFX-60 is a type of electrical specialty fuse designed to protect electrical systems from over-current and overloads in various applications. It is suitable for low voltage distribution systems and can be used in a home-run or multi-circuit environment. This product is ideal for residential panel protection, generator protection, HVAC, shallow well pumps, and other similar electric systems.

The AFX-60 works by monitoring the electrical current in a circuit and interrupting the flow of current if a predetermined level of current is exceeded. This prevents damage to the electrical system caused by over-currents or overloads. The AFX-60 has been designed to exceed the industry standard of melting current (I_M) and time-delay variety (I _t ). It is available in two sizes, one small, and one large, for different applications.

The AFX-60 is an open-style fuse, meaning it is not enclosed in a separate housing and must be mounted and supported with the appropriate hardware. It comes with an indicator light that glows when the fuse is blown. The AFX-60 is designed to be field-reversible, which means the current direction can be changed without having to open the fuse. This makes installation and maintenance easier, as the fuse can be replaced from the front of the panel box.

The AFX-60 is available in various ratings from 5A to 60A. The working principle of the fuse is based on the thermodynamic theory of heated materials. Heat dissipation from the current being passed through the fuse wire is proportional to the amount of current passing through the fuse. When the current passing through the wire exceeds a particularly high level, the temperature rises rapidly, which causes the fuse wire to melt, interrupting the flow of current, and preventing any damage to the circuit.

The AFX-60 is a UL-listed product, meaning it has undergone extensive testing and meets the required safety standards. It is an affordable and easy-to-install product that can provide reliable protection in various electrical settings. It is also available with a type S plug, which is a threaded plug that fits onto the fuse to provide a secure and reliable connection.

In summary, the AFX-60 electrical specialty fuse is designed to protect residential and other electric systems from over-currents and overloads caused by short circuits and other electrical problems. It has a high melting current and time-delay ratings and is reversible for installation and maintenance. The product is UL-listed for safety and is available with the optional type S plug for easy installation.
