LA130URD70TTI0160

Electrical systems, which power most modern day operations, need to be protected for any losses or damage caused by excessive current flow or short circuits. Specialty fuses such as the LA130URD70TTI0160 are components designed to protect a system from such damages and help maintain uptime and durability. This article will discuss the application field and working principle of this fuse.

Applications

The LA130URD70TTI0160 fuse has a wide range of applications. It is primarily used in industrials control and power circuits, communications equipment, power supplies, and other high-efficiency, low-power devices. It also provides circuit protection for devices such as semiconductors, relays, transformers, solenoids, and motors. The LA130URD70TTI0160 is suitable for air conditioning, medical, measuring, and testing equipment.

Components

The LA130URD70TTI0160 is a compact device featuring a ceramic body and a stainless steel cover. It also has a thermoplastic insulating base with a silicone terminator. The device features two contacts known as "tags" or "pins", which are connected to the device body using silver alloy midsections. Each contact has two parameters: the current rating and the response time. The fuse also contains a unique glass or fuse link. This component is the main circuit breaker and helps regulate the current flow through the fuse.

Working principle

The LA130URD70TTI0160 works on the principle of thermal separation. When a large current passes through the fuse, it causes the fuse link to heat up and start to melt. This causes an increase in the resistance of the fuse link which forms a “short” across the circuit. This interrupts the current and prevents any further electric surges, thereby protecting the system. This process is sometimes known as \'fusing\'.

The LA130URD70TTI0160 can also act as a safety feature. If the current passes through the fuse is excessive, it can cause damage to the device and even the system itself. The fuse will respond quickly and shut off the circuit which helps prevent any damage.

Conclusion

The LA130URD70TTI0160 specialty fuse is an effective component for protecting circuits and devices from excessive current or short circuits. It is often used in a variety of applications ranging from industrial control and power circuits to measuring and testing equipment. The device operates on the principle of thermal separation and helps protect a system from electrical damage or losses.
