BK/ABC-V-18

Fuses play an important role in electrical circuits and equipment as they protect against overcurrent. They are designed to open and break the electric current when it exceeds a certain limit. The BK/ABC-V-18 is specially designed to serve in an industrial application. It is a 250-volt, current-limiting type of fuse with a time-delay feature. This fuse functions by limiting the current to a pre-determined level even if that current is greater than normal inrush current. This prevents damage to the electrical or electronic equipment in the event of an overload.

The BK/ABC-V-18 fuse is designed to be mounted either in an industrial rack or as a piggyback type fuse. This makes it easy to install and ideal for use in a wide range of applications. As a 250-volt fuse, it is well suited for medium-voltage applications such as in residential, commercial, and communication equipment. Furthermore, this specific type of fuse features a time-delay feature, which delays the tripping action of the fuse to allow for inrush current. This feature ensures that the circuit is not interrupted during the initial application of power.

The application field of the BK/ABC-V-18 fuse is broad, which means that it can be utilized in a variety of industrial applications, including power supplies, motor drives, motor control centers, and air conditioners. It is important to note that this fuse is not suitable for use in higher voltage applications as the limitation and protection of higher voltage circuits would require a different type of fuse. The proper installation of this type of fuse is essential in order to ensure its proper functioning and optimal protection against overload.

The working principle of the BK/ABC-V-18 fuse is simple yet effective. When an overload or short-circuit takes place, the current passing through the fuse exceeds the designed limit. This causes the fuse wire to heat up, which results in the melting of the wire, thus breaking the circuit and stopping the flow of current. This protects the circuit and components from further damage. The time-delay feature of the fuse is designed in such a way that it delays the tripping action in the event of an inrush current. This ensures that the circuit is not interrupted during this initial phase and allows the power to be applied to the circuit without interruption.

In conclusion, the BK/ABC-V-18 fuse is a 250-volt, current-limiting type of fuse that is ideal for use in a wide range of industrial applications. It provides protection to the electrical and electronic equipment in the event of an overload or short circuit. Its working principle is simple, yet effective, wherein it melts the wire in order to open and break the electric current when it exceeds a pre-determined limit. Its time-delay feature allows for the power to be applied to the circuit without interruption. Therefore, the BK/ABC-V-18 is an effective and reliable option for industrial applications.
