BK/AGW-10 Circuit Protection

Fuses are electrical devices that contain a piece of metal designed to melt when a predetermined amount of current passes through it in too short of a period of time. This process prevents dangerous electrical loads from damaging or destroying the power source and other components of an electrical circuit. One of the most common applications of fuses is the BK/AGW-10 fuse.

BK/AGW-10 Application Field

The BK/AGW-10 is a five amp, 250 volts, time-delay fuse with a cylindrical body. It is designed for use in power supplies, equipment cabinets, and insulated and non-insulated motor circuits. It is also suitable for protecting against overcurrents resulting from overloads or short circuits. The fuse is UL approved and is considered a reliable and economical protection element in a wide variety of industrial operations.

BK/AGW-10 Working Principle

The BK/AGW-10 fuse works by constraining the maximum amount of current that can flow through its fuse element. The internal element is designed to have a pre-determined melting point. When an overcurrent is detected, the fuse element will melt and interrupt the flow of current. As the current decreases to a safe level, the element will cool and the fuse will reset itself. In the event of a short circuit, the fuse will blow before the power source is damaged, thus effectively protecting the source and other equipment in the circuit.

Conclusion

In summary, the BK/AGW-10 fuse is a reliable and economical protection element for electrical circuits. It is suitable for use in power supplies, equipment cabinets, and insulated and non-insulated motor circuits. When overcurrents are detected, the fuse element will melt and interrupt the flow of current. This effectively protects the power source and other components in the circuit from damage or destruction.
