　　Fuse, alias current fuse, is defined as "fuse link" in IEC127 standard and is a thermal Response element. The fuse is installed in a fuse box (fuse) or knife switch and connected in series in the circuit. The fuse invented by Edison over a hundred years ago was used to protect expensive incandescent lamps at that time.

　　The fuse is mainly composed of three parts: the melt part, the electrode part, and the bracket part. Fuses are generally made of fusible metals such as lead, tin, lead-tin alloy, or zinc, with a very low melting point (approximately 200-300 ℃). Under normal circumstances, fuses can maintain reliable operation of the power grid, but in the event of overload or short circuit conditions, fuses with lower melting points are heated to the melting temperature by current and continue to be heated, causing some fuses to melt and vaporize, thereby cutting off the protected circuit and ensuring the safety of electrical appliances and connecting wires. Fuses are composed of porcelain covers, porcelain seats, contacts, spring clips, and other components to form fuses. They are generally used in conjunction with electricity meters and open load switches in households as protective measures for power supply lines after being connected to households

　　　　Due to the fact that the intelligent control part of this new type of LED explosion-proof light is completed through RS485 serial communication, it was found in practical applications that the 485 interface chip is easily burned out. After analysis, overvoltage protection was not done properly, so TVS tube was selected as the overvoltage protection circuit, and it was found that it is still easy to be burned out by lightning.　　When I was in a state of exhaustion, I saw an overcurrent protection scheme using a self recovery fuse TVS tube. The experiment was successful, greatly improving the reliability of the explosion-proof lamp. I didn't expect to use a self recovery fuse PPTC in series at port 485, and then connect TVS in parallel to complete the task. There is no simpler solution than this method.　　The self restoring fuse PPTC is an overcurrent protector, also known as a ten thousand fuse, also known as a self resetting overcurrent protector or a polymer self restoring fuse.

Selection and Differences between Quick Break Fuses and Slow Break Fuses.plastic fuse board

　　　　The quick break fuse tube is generally used in the circuit of resistive load, such as electric kettle, electric stove, and Space heater with electric heating wire. Because the electric heating wire is a resistive load, and the working current of resistive load is basically unchanged, the quick break (quick fuse) fuse is required. Alternatively, quick break fuses may also be used in circuits that require the protection of sensitive and valuable devices such as ICs. When the load experiences a short circuit, it is necessary to fuse it in a timely manner for protection.　　Slow break fuses, also known as delay fuses, are mainly used for inductive or capacitive loads, such as square fuses, circular fuses, plastic encapsulated miniature fuses, which are generally very common in switching power supplies. In the switching power supply, there is a Electrolytic capacitor with a very large capacity. When the capacitor is first powered on, it is close to short circuit, and its charging current

　　　　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

　　　　1. Safety certification: Determine the safety certification of fuses based on the required safety certification for the entire machine, such as UL or IEC specifications. 2. Structural size: The size is determined based on the space in the circuit design, such as length, diameter, and whether there are leads. 3. Rated voltage: It must be greater than or equal to the actual application voltage, generally including 24V, 32V, 63V, 125V, 250V, etc. 4. Breaking capacity: should be greater than the maximum fault current in the circuit. 5. Rated current: Based on the following items: (1) Normal working current, the rated current of UL specification fuses operating at 25 ℃ is ≥ normal working current/0.75; The rated current of IEC standard fuses is ≥ normal working current/0.9. (2) Environmental temperature: The current carrying capacity test of a fuse is conducted under the ambient temperature of 25 ℃. The higher the ambient temperature, the shorter the lifespan of the fuse, and the lower

fast blow fuse characteristics.What is the working principle of a fuse?

　　　　I still remember when I was studying electronics and electrical appliances, and every semester when I came home from vacation, I was called by my neighbors to repair the TV. At that time, I used black and white TV sets, and the voltage was also unstable. The most damaged TV set was the fuse.　　At that time, Shenzhen fuses were ordinary glass tube fuses, and it was not very convenient to buy a fuse in rural areas. Sometimes, iron sheets or wires were used to directly connect the circuit as a fuse (I believe many people have done this before), which could still be used normally. However, this use was very unsafe, and sometimes it could damage other parts of the TV. Since then, I have been deeply impressed by this type of transparent glass tube fuse.　　Fuses, also known as fuses, are defined as "fuse links" in international standards. They are electrical components installed in a circuit to ensure safe operation of the circuit.　　Electronic products are all-encompassing, and these produc
