FMX-60

For commercial electrical systems, short circuits, over-current, and over-voltage protection are essential. Fuses are one of the most widely used over-current protective devices providing these protections. In electrical engineering, an electric fuse is a type of low resistance resistor that acts as a sacrificial device to protect an electrical circuit from excessive current. The FMX-60 fuse is a type of fuse that offers the features of fast-acting trips and safe operation.The FMX-60 is a 600VAC, power fuse with an interrupting rating of up to 200kA. It is a cylindrical ceramic tube with a metallic strip inside. The strip melts in the event of an over-current, disconnecting the load from the power supply. They are available in various sizes to protect a variety of rated currents from 0.5A to 25A.The working principle of the FMX-60 is relatively simple. When a short circuit or over-current occurs, the temperature of the connecting wire begins increase exponentially. As the temperature rises, the strip inside the fuse melts and the resulting low resistance causes a voltage drop, resulting in an interruption of current flow. The disconnection of electrical circuit is thus instantaneous, eliminating damage to protected equipment due to over-current. The fuse also has an additional feature in that the strip reforms once the current is shut down, allowing for the circuit to be re-established.The application field for the FMX-60 is slightly more diverse than those of other types of fuses. While still suitable for use in standard electrical systems such as power plants, they can also be utilized in independent power systems (IPSs). These are primarily used in home mobile batteries, server power supplies, and electric vehicle battery management systems. Other applications include motor protection, starting systems, and other locations where interrupting high current is required.The FMX-60 fuse is considered among the most advanced type of fuse and is suitable for mostly all protection applications. It offers high interrupting ratings with fast tripping times as well as providing a cost-effective and efficient solution. It is also superior in terms of its current ratings and flexibility, allowing it to be used in various systems.In summary, the FMX-60 fuse is an ideal over-current protective device for a variety of applications, ranging from residential to commercial, and from motor protection to battery management. Its fast-acting trips and safe operation make it ideal for over-current protection. With its wide range of sizes and high interrupting ratings, the FMX-60 provides a cost-effective and efficient solution for various protection needs.
