It is demonstrated that the circuit remains intact when there is a non fault pulse current and can provide protection against long-term overload.
Delay fuses are used in some circuits where the current at the moment of switching is several times greater than the normal working current. Although this current peak is high, it appears for a short period of time, and we call it pulse current. Ordinary fuses cannot withstand this current, and delay fuses are needed in such circuits. If larger fuses are used, they will not be protected when the circuit is overloaded.
The melt of the delay fuse is specially processed and has the function of absorbing energy. Adjusting the amount of energy absorption can enable it to withstand both impact current and provide protection against overload. The standards for delay fuses have regulations on delay characteristics. If the specified characteristics cannot meet your requirements, you can contact the delay fuse manufacturer for a solution.
