SST 375/5K

Fuses are essential components in all kinds of electronic circuits. They are used to prevent a short or overload of the circuit by breaking the circuit when the current reaches a certain level. A type of fuse popular for use in power supplies and other applications is the SST 375/5K, which is a 5,000 Amp fuse.

The SST 375/5K fuse is made up of two contacts, an internal and an external. The external contact is made from an alloy which contains copper, nickel and tin. The internal contact is made from brass, and houses a ceramic insert which contains the fuse wire. The external contact is connected to the circuit, while the internal contact is connected to a fuse holder which is mounted on the power supply.

The working principle of the SST 375/5K fuse is that when the current passing through it reaches 5,000 Amps, the ceramic insert will break, separating the external and internal contacts and stopping the flow of electricity. This makes the fuse a very reliable source of protection for circuits. The SST 375/5K is designed to blow a minimum of 5,000 Amps, but can handle higher currents without damaging the circuit.

The SST 375/5K fuse is used in a wide range of electrical applications. It can be found in power supplies, industrial control panels, sub-stations, motor generators, and other high voltage applications. It is also ideal for use in circuits that require a high level of current protection, such as those found in telecommunications, computers, medical equipment, and even automotive wiring applications.

The SST 375/5K fuse is a reliable and economical way to ensure that your electrical circuit is protected. It offers a high level of protection, yet is small enough to fit into tight spaces. It is also versatile enough to be used in a wide range of applications, making it an invaluable tool for any electrical engineer.
