Fuses are essential safety devices for electrical systems. Every electric circuit needs to be protected with a fuse to prevent overloads and other malfunctions from occurring. The AGX-10 is a type of fuse at the cutting edge of the safety industry. This article will discuss the application field and working principle of the AGX-10 Fuse.

The AGX-10 fuse is designed to provide over-current protection in a range of applications. This includes UL-recognized 120 VAC 277 VAC lighting and motor branch circuits. As such, these fuses are designed to handle a wide range of different voltages and currents. In addition to this, they are also designed to be compatible with a variety of panelboards.

In terms of working principle, the AGX-10 is a thermal-magnetic type fuse. This means that it has two different protection modes, namely, the thermal mode and the magnetic trip mode. The thermal mode of the fuse operates on a timer. This timer is based on the rate of heat dissipation inside the fuse. If the current flowing through the fuse exceeds the fuses rated current value, then the temperature in the fuse will increase. This will cause the fuse to go into its thermal mode and trip off after a certain amount of time, thereby protecting the connected circuit and/or device.

The magnetic trip mode of the AGX-10 is activated when the current exceeds the maximum rated value. This causes the wire inside the fuse to become magnetized. This magnetism increases with increasing current. As soon as the current reaches its peak, the magnetic force inside the fuse will cause it to trip, thus protecting the connected electrical circuit.

In addition to providing over-current protection, the AGX-10 also acts as a response to short circuits. When a short circuit occurs, it causes a dramatic increase in the current flowing through the circuit. As the current increases, the fuse will go into its magnetic trip mode and trip off, thus preventing further damage to the circuit. This is especially important in situations where a short circuit could lead to fire and/or explosions.

The AGX-10 is a popular choice for many different applications due to its high quality and reliability. This type of fuse is made from UL listed and tested materials and is designed to meet the most up-to-date UL safety standards. Unfortunately, the AGX-10 is not suitable for use in hazardous locations, as it does not meet hazardous location requirements.

In summary, the AGX-10 is a thermal-magnetic type fuse that is designed to provide over-current protection in a range of applications. It is UL-listed and has both thermal and magnetic modes of operation. It is designed to respond quickly and accurately to short circuits, thus protecting both the connected circuit and any device or appliance connected to it. Despite its high quality and reliability, it should not be used in hazardous locations.
