MERSEN FERRAZ A480T2E Fuse, Medium Voltage, PT Type, 4800V, 2A

Mersen Ferraz A480T2E cartridge fuse is used in electrical systems, such as motors, transformers and power distribution units. It is designed for reliable overcurrent protection and safeguard equipment from damage caused by short circuits or excessive currents.

Working Mechanism:

• Mersen Ferraz A480T2E electric fuse contains a wire with a low melting point. During normal use, the current flows through it without a problem. But if there's too much current due to a short circuit or overload, the wire heats up and melts.
• This breaks the circuit and stops the flow of current, protecting the circuit and equipment. Fuses like this are one-time use and need to be replaced after they've melted.

Frequently Asked Questions:

Q. What factors determine the wire element's melting point?

A. The material composition and thickness of the wire element determine its melting point, which is chosen based on the fuse's rated current and intended application.

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

A. A fuse melts when there is too much current, while a circuit breaker trips when there is excessive current or a short circuit.

Q. What safety precautions should I take when working with fuses?

A.

• Wear appropriate personal protective equipment.
• When working with fuses, ensure that the power is turned off before handling the fuse.
