< html>Fuses are essential components used in circuitry to prevent overloading of devices and circuits. The BK/ABC-20RX fuse is a Type 2 E-rated high-speed fuse that is ideal for use in applications requiring fast acting protection with thermal magnetic trip characteristics. It is an UL Recognized Component and CSA Certified product.
The BK/ABC-20RX is an E-rated fuse with a voltage rating of 250VAC and a current rating of 20A. It has a current-limiting feature that provides superior protection in a variety of applications including motor controls, transformers, lighting systems, and equipment. With its fast response time, the BK/ABC-20RX is particularly suitable for protecting components and equipment connected in parallel.
Working Principles
The working principle of the BK/ABC-20RX fuse is based on the concept of resistance to electric current. The fuse is composed of a strip of metal, usually copper or aluminum, which is encased in a ceramic casing. The metal strip is designed to have a specific resistance to electric current. When the current flowing through the fuse exceeds its designed current limit, the metal strip begins to heat up, causing it to melt. This melts the ceramic casing and the fuse is broken, thus disconnecting the current flow and protecting the circuit and components from harm.
The BK/ABC-20RX has a 100% rated time-delay characteristic, meaning it is designed to provide a predetermined level of delay before it trips after overloads beyond its control current rating. This time-delay is preset to provide the best protection for the applications requiring fusing and is displayed as the percentage of the time it takes for the fuse to reach its melting point, in comparison to the rated current.
Application Fields
Fuses like the BK/ABC-20RX are widely used in industries such as automotive, aviation, medical, and marine to protect equipment from power surges and to prevent damages to circuitry. They are also found in residential and commercial applications such as lighting systems, power distribution, motor controls, and transformers. Fuses are preferred over circuit breakers because they provide superior protection, are simpler to install, and are less expensive.
In the automotive industry, the BK/ABC-20RX fuse can be used to protect electric motors, relays, light bulbs, and other components against current overloads. It can also be used as a short-circuit protection device in electric vehicles. In the aviation industry, fuses can be used to protect communication systems, navigation systems, and critical equipment such as engines.
In the medical industry, the BK/ABC-20RX fuse can be used to protect medical equipment such as X-ray machines, CT scans, and Ultrasound systems against current overloads. In the marine industry, the fuse can be used to protect ships\' vital components and replace the traditional circuit breakers.
Conclusion
The BK/ABC-20RX fuse is a high-speed fuse with a current rating of 20A and a voltage rating of 250VAC. It is designed to provide fast-acting protection and is suitable for protecting components and equipment connected in parallel. The BK/ABC-20RX fuse is UL Recognized and CSA Certified and is widely used in industries such as automotive, aviation, medical, and marine for protecting equipment and components from overloads and short-circuits.
