Most circuits generate an instantaneous surge current when the power is first connected. In capacitive or inductive circuits, this surge current is often many times, or even dozens of times, greater than the normal steady-state current. If the surge resistance of the fuse used in the circuit is not strong enough, the fuse will be blown off by high-energy surges. If the duration of this surge current is short and the energy released is insufficient to break the fuse, the fuse will not break and will only be damaged to a certain extent. It will only be broken after a certain number of surge impacts. Similarly, hot swapping of some plug-in components during the operation of the entire machine can generate large pulse currents. At this time, if the fuse's pulse resistance is not strong enough, it will often be blown by the pulse. To avoid fuses being blown off by surges or pulse currents and unable to function properly, we need to choose the correct type of fuse and choose the appropri
Due to the small resistance value of the fuse itself, and we hope that the smaller the better, the voltage drop at both ends of the fuse is very small, much smaller than the rated voltage of the fuse. Therefore, when the fuse operates normally, the rated voltage has little practical significance. The true significance of the rated voltage of a fuse lies in its safety performance. As a safety component, a fuse must be ensured to be safe during normal operation, during protective actions, and at any time after the melt melts. During and after the melt melts, the rated voltage of the fuse is of great significance. The unsafe factor when a fuse blows comes from the energy released by overcurrent, and the magnitude of this energy depends on the product of current and voltage. The maximum current to ensure the safety of the fuse is the rated breaking capacity, and the maximum voltage is the rated voltage. If the rated voltage of the fuse is less than the circuit voltage, it may cause uns
As a safety component, in addition to its performance requirements, a fuse must also have strict safety requirements. The breaking capacity of a fuse is an important indicator reflecting the safety performance of the fuse. Its specific meaning is: the maximum short-circuit current that the fuse can withstand without any unsafe phenomena during the process of breaking the circuit. The unsafe phenomena here include - continuous arcing, smoking, spraying, splashing Burning, explosion, etc. Tubular fuses can be classified into high breaking (1500A), low breaking (35A or 10In), and enhanced breaking (150A) types based on their breaking capacity. The breaking capacity of chip fuses is generally between 30-60A, which is often overlooked or misunderstood by users or confused with the fusing characteristics of fuses, The correct understanding of the breaking capacity of a fuse should be that the extreme maximum current in the event of a short circuit in the protected circuit cannot exceed t
