A fuse, also known as a fuse element, is a type of electrical protection device used to protect an electrical circuit from damage due to excess current. The GLX-1/4 fuse is a type of fuse that is commonly used in industrial applications. This article will discuss the specific application field of the GLX-1/4 fuse and the working principle of the device.

Application Field of GLX-1/4 Fuse

The GLX-1/4 fuse is typically used in motor control circuits and is also commonly used in other industrial applications. It is suitable for a variety of industrial applications such as electrical equipment, lighting, household appliance, etc. It is usually used in circuits with a line voltage not exceeding 600 volts. In addition, it can be used in distribution systems up to 15kV.

Working Principle of GLX-1/4 Fuse

The GLX-1/4 fuse is designed with a bimetallic strip. The bimetallic strip is composed of two layers of different metals that are bonded together. When electric current passes through the fuse, the heat generated by the current causes the bimetallic strip to expand. If the current is too high, the strip will expand too much and eventually break, interrupting the flow of current. This interruption of the current flow protects the circuit from damage.

The GLX-1/4 fuse also features a fuse element. The fuse element is made of a linker material, usually a metal alloy, which is designed to melt when too much current passes through it. Once the linker material melts, the circuit is interrupted and protected from further damage.

The GLX-1/4 fuse also has a fuse holder which houses the bimetallic strip and the linker material. The fuse holder is connected to the circuit and acts as the first line of defense against overloaded current. It helps to prevent short circuits and prevents potentially hazardous sparks from forming.

Conclusion

The GLX-1/4 fuse is a common type of fuse used in industrial applications. It is designed with a bimetallic strip and a fuse element made of a linker material. The bimetallic strip is designed to expand when too much current passes through it; the fuse element melts when too much current passes through it, disrupting the flow of current and protecting the circuit from damage. The GLX-1/4 fuse is suitable for a variety of industrial applications and distribution systems up to 15kV.
