VLR230-C36F

PTC Resettable Fuses (PPTC fuses) are used to protect electrical circuits and equipment, primarily for short-circuit protection. The VLR230-C36F is a type of PTC Resettable Fuse that provides overcurrent protection for a wide range of applications. This article will discuss the application fields and working principle of the VLR230-C36F.The VLR230-C36F is designed to provide overcurrent protection with a current rating of 36A. It is suitable for use in a variety of applications, including consumer electronics, industrial equipment, telecommunications, automotive, and medical equipment. Additionally, it is suitable for both AC and DC use in circuits with operating voltages up to 600V. The VLR230-C36F is a two-port, bidirectional device that is made up of two discrete sections that are connected in series. One section is the positive temperature coefficient (PTC) element, which is responsible for responding to an overcurrent event. The other section is the current-limiting resistor, which provides additional protection.When the device is connected to the circuit, it operates in its "off" state, allowing current to flow through the circuit. When an overcurrent event occurs, the current flowing through the PTC element increases, which causes its temperature rise. When the temperature of the PTC element reaches a predetermined level, its resistance increases sharply, reducing the current flowing through the circuit and protecting it from damage.Once the current is reduced below a certain level, the PTC element starts to cool and its resistance falls, allowing current to flow through the circuit again. This process is known as "self-resetting" and can be repeated as needed to protect the circuit from further damage.In addition to providing overcurrent protection, the VLR230-C36F also offers circuit protection for a range of voltage transients. It is designed to limit the current surge resulting from voltage transients by interrupting the flow of current through the circuit. Additionally, this device is designed to protect against arcing, which improves the reliability and long-term performance of the circuit.The VLR230-C36F is a reliable and cost-effective way to protect circuits from overcurrents and other damaging voltage transients. It can be easily incorporated into circuits and systems to ensure reliable and safe operation.
