BK/GMW-1

BK/GMW-1 fuses are used for the protection of electrical loads against the risk of overload and short circuit. They provide protection in electrical systems of low voltage. The BK/GMW-1 fuses are distinguished by robust construction and easy mounting. They can be mounted horizontally, vertically or in any other way. The BK/GMW-1 fuse is made up of two components: the casing and the control element. The casing is made from a cast iron or aluminum alloy, with lugs for mounting the control element. The control element is a frangible strip that melts when the fuse reaches its nominal rating, thus interrupting the electrical current and protecting the load.The working principle of the BK/GMW-1 fuse is based on the Joule effect. When an electrical current passes through any conductor material, there is an associated energy loss that is converted to heat. The frangible strip in the control element is designed to reach a specific temperature when the fuse reaches its rated current. The heat generated by the current causes the frangible strip to expand and eventually melt, interrupting the electrical current and protecting the load from overload and short-circuit.In addition to protecting against overload and short circuit, the BK/GMW-1 fuse also serves as an indicator. When the fuse is blown, a visible damage to the control element is seen. This indicates that the fuse has been overloaded and should be replaced.The BK/GMW-1 fuse is widely used in various applications in residential, commercial and industrial sectors. It is often used in the protection of electrical machinery, lighting and electric motors. It is also used in the protection of electrical circuits in elevators, escalators and other equipment.In conclusion, the BK/GMW-1 fuse provides reliable protection against overload and short-circuit, and is an ideal solution for many applications. It is easy to install, has good resistance to temperature and is cost-effective.
