FCD121160TP Application Field and Working Principle

A fuse is a device used to protect electric equipments from being overloaded. It ensures that the amount of current flowing through them stays within a safe range. A fuse consists of two parts, the body and the element. The body contains an insulated element, usually a wire. When the current passing through the element exceeds a predetermined amount, the element is heated and it melts, thus interrupting the circuit and thus protecting the electric equipment. This protection is mostly applied in places where it is expected that sudden power surges may occur.

FCD121160TP are a type of fuse widely used in various types of industrial applications. It comprises of a silver or tinned copper element, a tin or silver plated one piece brass frame, a ceramic ferrule and a black terminal seal. The application fields includes automotive and motor controls, industrial machinery, instrumentation, telecommunications, and general power and lighting systems. It provides a major level of 300VAC and a maximum voltage of 600VAC

When the current flowing through the FCD121160TP exceeds the set current value, the fuse element is heated and melts, thus breaking the circuit. The fuse has an “open” indicator for easy identification that the fuse has triggered, apart from being temperature-resistant and impact-resistant. This helps to determine if the fuse has actually tripped or if it has failed. This feature makes it the go-to product when it comes to superior protection from surges but also affordably priced.

The wattage dissipation of the fuses depends on the size of wire incorporated in the element, as well as the manufacturing tolerances. Fuses are usually available in various sizes and amp ratings, ranging from 2A to 200A. However, FCD121160TP fuses are precisely designed to provide protection for up to 160A, with a pre-specified degree of tolerance. It usually dissipates the power resourcefully and can be installed easily. It is the ideal solution for protecting components from danger and damage due to overloads and short-circuits, thus ensuring a longer life for the equipment.

The characteristics of fuses can vary significantly depending on the type of application. FC121160TP fuses are specially designed for protection against overloads and short-circuits in areas that require the highest levels of protection due to the potential risks. For industrial applications, this fuse provides an economical, yet reliable solution which offers superior protection when compared to other fuses. Furthermore, its compact design allows it to be used with ease in tight spaces without compromising its functionality.

Overall, FCD121160TP fuses have become the industry standard for the protection of electric equipment and installations due to their affordable pricing, superior protection, and reliability. They offer reliable protection against both current and temperature overloads due to their tin-coated elements, allowing them to be used in a variety of applications. Moreover, they are also extremely simple and convenient to install and replace, making them the preferred choice for many electronic device manufacturers worldwide.
