BUSSMANN 170M5013 High Speed Fuse, 690 VAC, 700 A

Bussmann 170M5013 specialty fuse offers precise and reliable overcurrent protection, safeguarding equipment from damaging short circuits and overloads. Its specialised design ensures efficient interruption of fault currents, preventing downtime and costly repairs. By swiftly isolating faulty sections, this Bussmann fuse helps maintain system integrity, making it an essential component in industrial settings.

Working Mechanism:

• Bussmann 170M5013 specialty fuse operates on the principle of thermal and magnetic protection. When a current higher than the rated value flows through the fuse, its internal element heats up due to the increased resistance. This element is designed to melt and break the circuit when the temperature reaches a critical point, effectively interrupting the current flow.
• In cases of extreme overcurrent conditions, the magnetic component of the fuse comes into play. A magnetic coil within the fuse generates a magnetic field proportional to the current passing through it. This magnetic field quickly attracts a tripping mechanism, forcefully opening the circuit and halting the current.

Frequently Asked Questions:

Q. What is the maximum current capacity of Bussmann 170M5013 fuse?

A. Bussmann 170M5013 fuse has a maximum current capacity of 700A.

Q. What is the difference between a fuse and a breaker?

A. A fuse uses a metal element that melts when the current flowing through it exceeds a certain level, breaking the circuit. The breaker, on the other hand, uses a mechanical mechanism to interrupt and rejoin the circuit.
