BK/C519-1.6A

BK/C519-1.6A Application Field and Working Principle

The BK/C519-1.6A is one of the most commonly used types of fuses, widely used in various electrical circuits to protect them from overloads and short circuit conditions. This fuse is recognizable by its rectangular shape, approximately 1 inch in length, with a horseshoe-shaped body. It is also known as the “Fast-Acting Fuse.”

The BK/C519-1.6A is a fast-acting fuse, which means that it acts quickly in the event of an overload or short circuit. The fuse is designed with a flat metal strip that acts as a temperature-sensitive resistor. This metal strip is composed of a special alloy of copper, nickel and chrome that functions similarly to a wire. When an overcurrent passes through the fuses, the strip acts as an overcurrent thermometer, increasing the temperature of the fuse strip. When the strip reaches a specific temperature, it melts, opening the circuit and preventing further damage to the circuit.

The BK/C519-1.6A is designed to protect electrical circuits, particularly from high voltage surges that may occur in induction motors. It is also used to protect circuits that need quick response time. Generally, the BK/C519-1.6A will operate at 10 or 16 amps, although the maximum amperage may vary depending on the specific model.

The BK/C519-1.6A has a wide range of applications. It is commonly used to protect high voltage induction motors, such as those found in pumps. It is also used to protect various circuits in electric furnaces, air conditioners, heating and air systems, and commercial cooking equipment. Another common application is in the protection of printed circuit boards, where a BK/C519-1.6A provides protection from short circuits and overcurrent.

Most BK/C519-1.6A fuses are UL recognized and CSA certified, meaning they are tested and proven to provide the necessary protection for a circuit. Additionally, BK/C519-1.6A fuses are available in both single lug and double lug styles, making them easier to use in more complex circuits.

The BK/C519-1.6A is an effective and reliable choice for protecting circuits from potential overloads and short circuit conditions. Its fast-acting design, wide range of applications, and UL recognition make it an ideal choice for many different types of circuits.
