BK/1A3400-12-R

Fuseholders are an essential part of any electrical system and are especially important when it comes to protecting against short circuits and other dangerous events. The BK/1A3400-12-R provides a reliable solution in such situations with its excellent features and simple design. Let\'s take a look at the application field and working principle of the BK/1A3400-12-R.

The BK/1A3400-12-R is designed for use with UL98 and Class CC fuses, and is able to operate in temperatures ranging from -40°F up to 221°F. It is also designed with a maximum voltage of 600 V and can handle up to 30A of current, making it suitable for a variety of applications. The BK/1A3400-12-R is constructed with thermoplastic material, ensuring an excellent level of performance and protection over many years, even in harsh environments.

The BK/1A3400-12-R is designed as an two-piece unit and is held together through two springs and two screws. The main contact of the fuseholder is the silver contact having copper as its base material. The holes present in the body are designed to act as an auxiliary contact so that the fuse indicator can be placed to detect any overload conditions. This also serves the additional purpose of improving the electrical arc quenching capabilities of the unit.

The BK/1A3400-12-R can be applied for a variety of applications, such as residential, commercial, and industrial applications. It is especially useful in high-voltage applications that require reliable fuse protection. It is also suitable for use in outdoor installation or when the device could be exposed to harsh weather conditions.

The working principle of the BK/1A3400-12-R is quite simple. When an overload or short circuit occurs, a current path is established from the battery to the fuse, and the fuse begins to melt. This causes an electrical arc, and the metal contacts in the BK/1A3400-12-R quench the arc before it can spread and damage the other components in the system. The BK/1A3400-12-R allows the fuse to be put back into place so that the system can be reset once the overload or short circuit has been dealt with, ensuring the safety of the system.

In conclusion, the BK/1A3400-12-R fuseholder is an essential device for providing reliable protection against overloads and short circuits in a variety of applications. It is designed with thermoplastic material to ensure durability and performance in even harsh environments. It also provides an auxiliary contact to detect any overloads, improving the electrical arc quenching capabilities. The BK/1A3400-12-R is also designed for easy installation and resetting, ensuring safety and convenience for the user.
