BK/S501-1.6-R

Fuses

The BK/S501-1.6-R is a fuse commonly used in electrical and electronic systems as a protection element. It is designed to prevent an electrical circuit from becoming overloaded and to isolate if there is an overload or a short. In this way it can prevent system damage and help to provide safe operation.

The BK/S501-1.6-R has a current rating of 1.6 ‘R’ amps, a voltage rating of 125V, and a body made from corrosion-resistant Polycarbonate. It also has high fault-stability in its circuit protection, and responds quickly to overload or short-circuit conditions. This fuse type is ideal for AC or DC use, as well as in low-voltage single phase systems, computer systems, automotive applications, and more.

Application Field

The BK/S501-1.6-R is a small fuse and can be used where space is at a premium. It can be used in a variety of applications such as:

• Industrial Safety Equipment
• Medical Devices
• Telecommunication Systems
• Automotive Electronics
• Battery Protection in UPS Systems
• Power Supplies
• AC and DC Motors
• Circuit Breakers
• LED lighting
• Security products

Working Principle

The BK/S501-1.6-R fuse operates on the principle of a ferromagnetic element, which changes dimension and shape when an overload or short circuit occurs. The element expands when exposed to an overload and breaks the flow of current, thus acting as the fuse. The fused link will burn if the overload current is large enough. The element then has to be replaced in order for the circuit to function normally. The distinguishing feature of this type of fuse is that it is capable of handling short-term overloads.

Although the BK/S501-1.6-R is designed to protect circuits from overloads and shorts, it is important to note that it is not designed to protect against dangerous levels of voltage or current. It is also important to note that if the fuse element has been damaged or destroyed, the circuit must be shut down and the fuse must be replaced before any further operation.

Conclusion

The BK/S501-1.6-R fuse provides an effective way of protecting circuits from overloads and shorts, and is suitable for a range of applications. In order to ensure it operates correctly, it is important to follow the instructions and replace the fuse element if it gets damaged or destroyed.
