BK1/S501-80-R

Fuses are electrical devices that break an electrical circuit when overloaded or short circuited. The BK1/S501-80-R fuses are designed to prevent overloading or short circuits in machines and electrical systems. They are made of a ceramic material with an inner core that has two metal strips known as contacts. When the current exceeds a certain value, the contacts heat up and melt, thereby breaking the circuit and preventing damage or a fire.

The BK1/S501-80-R fuses are rated for currents of 1, 5 and 10 amperes, respectively, and have a voltage rating of up to 1000 volts. They are designed to work in both AC and DC circuits. The BK1/S501-80-R fuse is most often used to protect sensitive electronic components from short circuits and overcurrents. It is also used in motor control circuits, such as those found in elevators or escalators.

The BK1/S501-80-R fuse is composed of a ceramic body containing a wire that is interconnected with two metal contacts. The current is measured by the resistance of the wire. When a current of up to 10 amperes passes through the fuse, the wire resistance becomes so great that it causes the contacts to heat up and eventually melt, breaking the circuit.

The BK1/S501-80-R fuse is designed to provide fast response times and high current carrying capacity. The fuse element is constructed using a material that has high thermal conduction, minimising the time it takes to clear a fault. The contacts are designed for reliable operation and have an internal arc extinguishing device, making them suitable for high voltage applications.

The BK1/S501-80-R fuse is an effective way of providing overload and short circuit protection in high current applications. The ceramic body and wire construction provide reliable performance and fast response time, while the internal arc extinguishing device ensures safe operation in high voltage applications. The fuse is most often used to protect sensitive electronic components from overloads and short circuits.
