S506-40-R

Fuses are electrical safety devices that act as a means of interrupting an electrical current to avoid the damage that can be caused by an excessive amperage. They are placed in electrical circuits to protect the wire insulations and components from damage caused by a short circuit or overload. The S506-40-R is a type of fuse specifically designed for use on a single-phase motor.

The S506-40-R fuse is a cylindrical, molded-case circuit breaker with a 70 volt DC rating. It features a molded-case which makes it ideal for use in isolated electrical power systems. This type of fuse has a maximum operating temperature of 85°C and can protect up to 40A of current.

The S506-40-R is designed for use in a single-phase motor, to provide overload and short-circuit protection. This type of fuse is designed to protect the motor from potential damage caused by excessively high current. The S506-40-R can detect when an overload or short-circuit has occurred, and will then trip, interrupting the flow of electricity, and preventing further harm to the motor.

The S506-40-R fuse operates by measuring the current that’s passing through it. When the current exceeds the rated value, the fuse element will begin to heat up due to the over-current. The element is designed to reach a melting point quickly, causing it to break apart and separate the circuit. This interrupts the flow of current and thereby prevents an overload or short-circuit from causing damage.

The S506-40-R fuse is widely used in a variety of industrial and commercial settings, particularly where single-phase motors are being used. It’s a reliable form of protection which is easy to install, and offers long-lasting protection against potential damage caused by excessive current.
