S500-250-R Fuses

Fuses are electrical components that protect electrical circuits from damage due to overcurrent conditions. They can be reset after an overcurrent event occurs, allowing for the circuit to continue functioning. The S500-250-R is a type of fuse designed for general industrial applications. It is a mid-range fuse with a voltage rating of 500V AC and a current rating of 25A.

Application Field

The S500-250-R is suitable for industrial applications such as AC and DC power systems, lighting circuits, motor control, and general purpose Wiring. It is also suitable for controlling circuits on HVAC systems, and auxiliary circuits in motor control boxes. The fuse has a thermal element that automatically trips the fuse if an overcurrent is detected. It is tested to meet IEC60269-1 and IEC60269-2 requirements.

Working Principle

The S500-250-R fuse works by using a thermal element that is designed to detect an overcurrent condition and automatically trip. When the current rating of the fuse is exceeded, the thermal element increases in temperature and will eventually open the circuit. At this point, the fuse must be replaced in order to regain power in the circuit.

The fuse is also designed to respond to short circuit conditions. If a short circuit occurs, the thermal element will rapidly heat up to cause the fuse to trip. This will prevent further damage to the circuit or equipment and can help reduce the risk of fire.

Advantages

The S500-250-R is a versatile fuse that can be used in a variety of applications. It is a cost-effective solution for protecting circuits from overcurrent and short circuit conditions. The fuse is UL/CSA certified, making it a safe choice for applications in industrial environments. The fuse also has a faster response time than other types of fuses, providing better protection against dangerous overcurrent conditions.

Conclusion

The S500-250-R fuse is a versatile and cost-effective protection device that can be used in a variety of industrial applications. The fuse is designed to quickly respond to overcurrent and short circuit conditions, helping to protect circuits and equipment from damage. The fuse is UL/CSA certified, making it a safe choice for industrial environments.
