The fusewas invented by Edison more than 100 years ago to protect the expensive incandescent lamp. With the development of The Times, fuses protect electrical equipment from the current overheating injury, avoid electronic equipment due to internal failure caused by serious injury.
When electric current flows through a conductor, the conductor will heat up because there is a certain resistance. The current and resistance determine the rate at which heat is generated, and the construction of the fuse and its installation determine the rate at which heat is consumed. If the rate of heat generation is equal to the rate of heat dissipation, it will not fuse for a long time. If the rate at which heat is produced is greater than the rate at which it is dissipated, more and more heat will be produced. When the temperature rises above the fuse’s solubility the DC fuse is sent off. This is how a DC fuse works.
The general fuse consists of three parts: one is the melt part, which is the core of the fuse. The second is the electrode part, usually there are two, it is an important part of the melt and the circuit connection, and it must have good electrical conductivity. The third part is the bracket. The fuse melt is usually thin and soft, and the function of the bracket is to hold the melt in place and make the three parts into a rigid whole for easy installation and use.
The system for protecting a building against the effects of lightning must include: =protection of structures against direct lightning strokes; =protection of electrical installations against direct and indirect lightning strokes. The basic principle for protection of an installation against the risk of lightning strikes is to prevent the disturbing energy from reaching sensitive equipment. To […]
Surge protection devices (SPD) and surge arresters have the same function: they can protect electrical equipment from overvoltage conditions, but what is the difference between them? The following is a brief description of the differences between them. 1. Different Rated Voltages: According to NEC 2017 Sec 280 & 285, the rated voltage of the surge […]
How to choose the right surge protector? Choosing the right surge protective device (SPD) and protective circuit breakers involves considering a wide range of parameters related to types of SPDs, circuit breaker arrangements, and risk assessment. Three rules of thumb for choosing surge protection Now that we’ve established that SPDs should be at the heart […]
