XL70F600

XL70F600 Application Field and Working Principle

The XL70F600 fuse is one of the most popular specialty fuses designed and produced by Cooper Bussmann, one of the world\'s leading providers of quality fusing equipment. It is a popularly used Bypass-Style fuse with a current rating of 70A and Interrupt Capacity of 600A, which makes it suitable for a wide variety of applications.

XL70F600 Types and Working Area

The F600A model comes in an A-body type, having a total dimension of 136mm long and 60.5mm wide. It is available in either an All “V” (solid state) or Volts plus Amps combination styles. It is mainly used in electric vehicles, induction cookers, central air-conditioning systems, electric water heaters, and various other applications.

Working Principle

The XL70F600 works on the principle of preventing current overload. Any time a dangerous level of current is detected, the fuse cuts off the power supply, thus protecting the circuit and appliances from any harm. The current rating of the fuse is printed on the body and ranges from 70A to 600A.

The F600A series general purpose fuse features a time-delay design that allows the current to be increased before the fuse trips. The excess current is transferred to the fuse and discharged, reducing the risk of fire and overloading the circuit.

Application Areas

The XL70F600 fuse is mainly used in electric vehicles, induction cookers, central air-conditioning systems, electric water heaters, household appliances, lighting fixtures, and many other applications where electrical overload must be prevented. It is also used in the production process of electrical appliances, to protect from high-current short circuit.

The 80A version is suitable for all types of high-current LED drivers and Power Inverters, while the 200A version is suitable for high current applications like UPS systems, Internal Combustion Engines, large-scale battery packs, and industrial environments, such as airports, factories, and underground spaces.

Advantages

The F600A series by Cooper Bussmann is extremely reliable and has a long life span due to its unique Solid State design. It is rated up to 600A and provides superior protection. It is also small in size, so it can be easily installed in cramped electrical boxes.

Additionally, the XL70F600 is UL listed and meets industry standards for safety and energy-efficiency. It also boasts one of the lowest heat losses of any specialty fuse, allowing for greater energy savings.

Conclusion

The XL70F600 series is one of the most reliable specialty fuses on the market, providing superior protection from overcurrent. It is small in size and is suitable for many applications, from LED drivers to Power Inverters. Additionally, it is UL listed and has one of the lowest losses, saving energy and money in the long run.
