Bussmann FWH-020A6F specialty fuse safeguards electrical circuits, equipment and machinery by swiftly interrupting excessive currents, mitigating potential damage, hazards and disruptions. It offers reliable safety and circuit integrity in industrial machinery, power distribution systems and motor protection. It is ideal for preventing equipment damage and system failures, enhancing overall safety and reliability in critical electrical setups.
Working Mechanism:
- When the current exceeds safe levels, the fuse detects the overcurrent situation.
- The excess current heats the fuse's internal element quickly.
- The heated element melts, creating an open circuit and breaking the current flow.
- The open circuit isolates the faulty part of the circuit, preventing further damage.
- The interruption safeguards equipment and components from potential harm.
Features:
- It has an amperage rating of 20A RMS for efficient handling of sustained currents up to 20A.
- This Eaton FWH-020A6F fuse is integrated with a ferrule end to ferrule end connection for a secure and dependable connection within the circuit.
- This Bussmann specialty fuse has an interrupt rating of 50kAIC at 0.25 - 20A for handling fault currents.
Frequently Asked Questions:
