Fuses are electrical components that are designed to protect electrical circuits from overcurrent, overload, short circuit, voltage surge and other hazardous conditions. The MKB-1/16 is a type of Time-delay Fuse, which is able to provide additional protection against high-surge current that may cause any other fuse to blow.

The MKB-1/16 is an applications-specific fuse that is designed for higher current ratings. It is widely used as a slow-blow fuse in various electrical apparatus that requires a high level of protection, such as UPS systems, welding tools, transformers and other types of motors. The MKB-1/16 stands for the maximum current rating of the 16-amp fuse.

The MKB-1/16 also comes with an internal construction that enhances its response time in the event of an overload or a short circuit. The fuse consists of two metal strips which are connected together at the center of the fuse. The outer strip is metallic with a pre-set load rating and it has a calibrated time-delay effect. The inner strip, referred as the ‘blow strip’, is made of a special alloy that will expand under high temperatures and cause the fuse to blow or rupture.

The working principle of the MKB-1/16 is simple. As the current passes through the fuse, it causes the metal strip to heat up and expand. When the metal strip expands to its maximum size, it will cause the fuse itself to blow due to the increased pressure. The calibrated time-delay helps to enable the current to flow for a short period before the fuse will blow, allowing it to provide extra protection against short-term current overloads.

The MKB-1/16 is also designed to automatically reset itself in the event of a power failure. Once the power is restored, the currents will no longer exceed the pre-set load rating and the expansion of the metal strips will decrease, allowing the fuse to normalize. This ensures that the device will remain operational in the event of a power failure.

The MKB-1/16 fuse has many advantages, which makes it a popular choice for applications requiring high-surge protection. It is also easy to install and replace due to its design. Overall, the MKB-1/16 is a robust and reliable fuse that provides effective thermal protection for various electrical circuits and applications.
