Fuses: BK/GLN-3/10 Application Field and Working Principle

Fuses are essential components in electric circuits. A fuse is a device that uses a metal conductor that melts when exposed to excessive current and protects wires and components from damage. Fuses are widely used in many industrial and consumer applications for electrical protection. The BK/GLN-3/10 is one of the most commonly used fuses among those used for industrial applications. This article will discuss the application fields and working principle of the BK/GLN-3/10 fuse.

Application Fields of BK/GLN-3/10 Fuses

The BK/GLN-3/10 fuse is mainly used for protection against short-circuit and overload currents in high-voltage applications. The fuse is rated with an amperage of 10A and a voltage rating of 240V, but the fuse can also be used as a DC fuse with ratings of 8A at 400V and 8A at 500V. The operating temperature range of the fuse is −20 °C to +70°C and it has an internal resistance of 0.018 ohms. The fuse is available in both panel-mount and PCB-mount versions and its dimensions are 10.5mm x 30mm.

Working Principle of BK/GLN-3/10 Fuses

The BK/GLN-3/10 fuse works by melting when an excessive current passes through it. The fuse has a metal element that is designed to melt at a specific temperature. When the current passing through the fuse is higher than the rated amperage, the fuse element heats up and melts, fracturing the wire. This interrupts the circuit, preventing current from flowing and protecting the wiring and components of the circuit from damage. The fuse also has a trip element built into it. This trip element senses changes in current flow that may occur during a short circuit or overload situation and allows the fuse to initiate the melting process more quickly than it would if no trip element were present. This provides additional protection for the circuit and ensures the fuse will trip the circuit quickly in the event of an overload.

Conclusion

In conclusion, the BK/GLN-3/10 fuse is a reliable and effective component used for protection in high-voltage electrical circuits. It is rated with an amperage of 10A and a voltage rating of 240V and is available both panel-mount and PCB-mount versions. Furthermore, it has a trip element built into it that provides additional protection against short-circuit and overload conditions. The fuse works by melting when an excessive current passes through it, protecting the wiring and components of the circuit from damage.
