Fuses

BK/MDL-BV-20 application field and working principle

Fuses are an important component in many modern electrical systems. The BK/MDL-BV-20, is a type of one-time fuse, mainly used in industry and research. It is a small, circular tube, which is filled with a molten link that melts when the current passing through it exceeds a certain threshold. The link then breaks, separate the electric circuit and prevents further damage.

The BK/MDL-BV-20 is a small, zinc-plated copper lug with an integrated fuse link to create a self-contained assembly. This type of fuse is rated for a voltage of 600 Volts and a current rating of 20 Amps. It is typically used in industrial and research circuits, as well as in electric vehicles and solar energy converters. It is designed to protect against short-circuits and over-currents in circuits with long cable runs.

The BK/MDL-BV-20 is designed to react quickly to current changes in order to prevent any damage. This is accomplished by using a link made of a material that melts at a certain temperature. When the current in the circuit is higher than the rating, the temperature of the link increases, melting the link and thus breaking the circuit. This prevents any circuits from overheating due to excessive current flow. At the same time, the link is designed to withstand a certain amount of overload, allowing circuits to handle momentary spikes in current.

The BK/MDL-BV-20 also protects against reverse polarity, preventing damage in the event a battery or other power source is connected with the wrong polarity. It is also designed to be maintenance-free, and able to last for long periods of time without any additional care.

The BK/MDL-BV-20 fuse is an important component in many industrial and research-based systems. It’s small size and reliability make it ideal for many applications where space and protection are the primary concerns. It’s ability to react quickly to current changes, prevent damage due to short-circuits and reverse polarity, and its low maintenance requirements make it an excellent choice for many projects.
