BK/MDL-1-8/10NX

Fuses are an important part of electrical safety systems and are used to protect circuits against overloads. The BK/MDL-1-8/10NX is one type of fuse that protects and limits the current flow in both single and three-phase circuits.

Overview

The BK/MDL-1-8/10NX is a single-pole fuse with a nominal voltage rating of 10kV, a breaking capacity of 10kA, and a rated current of 8A. It provides overload and short-circuit protection for single and three-phase AC systems, as well as D.C. systems. The BK/MDL-1-8/10NX is available in various ratings and sizes.

Design & Construction

The BK/MDL-1-8/10NX is an electrically operated fuse made from an enclosed aluminum-zinc or copper alloy tube. It is constructed with a base metal and a fusing element, which is connected in series with the protected circuit. The fusing element of the BK/MDL-1-8/10NX is constructed from high-temperature copper strips that are encapsulated in an insulating material.

Application Fields

The BK/MDL-1-8/10NX is primarily used in residential and commercial construction, as well as industrial applications. This includes protective measures such as circuit breaker systems, overvoltage and overcurrent protection as well as protecting electrical power systems from overloads and short circuits.

Working Principle

The working principle of the BK/MDL-1-8/10NX is simple but effective. When an overload or short-circuit occurs, the temperature of the fusing element will rapidly increase. This will cause the fusing element to expand, effectively reducing the cross-sectional area of the element and interrupting the flow of current. As soon as the overload or short-circuit is removed from the circuit, the fuse will reset itself and will continue to provide protection against any further overloads or short-circuits.

Advantage & Safety

The BK/MDL-1-8/10NX offers many advantages over other types of fuses. It is reliable, easy to install and maintain, as well as highly energy efficient. It also provides fast and effective protection against short-circuits and overloads. The BK/MDL-1-8/10NX is highly safe, and will not cause any shock or fire hazard to users when correctly installed.

Conclusion

The BK/MDL-1-8/10NX is a reliable and effective fuse for both residential and commercial installations. Its simple design ensures easy installation and maintenance, while its safety features provide assurance that it is a reliable and safe choice for protecting electrical circuits from short-circuits and overloads.
