Fuses are mainly used as basic protective devices for preventing short circuit faults in household appliances. They are generally equipped and selected based on the current of the household appliance. This can be simply calculated by considering current=(power ÷ voltage)&TIMes; 1.5, for example, electrical equipment current=1 kW ÷ 220 V&TImes; 1.5=6.8A, you can choose fuses 6-8A.
The fusing current of a fuse is usually 1.5-2.0 times the rated current. If the total power of each household appliance exceeds 1100 watts during normal electricity use in a household, choose a 5-ampere fuse and use a No. 20 fuse with a diameter of 0.98 millimeters. When the current exceeds 7.5 amperes to 10 amperes, the fuse will automatically blow to achieve protection.
SMD fuses are made of lead antimony alloy with high resistivity and low melting point. Its function is to generate more heat when there is too much current in the circuit, causing its temperature to reach the melting point, thereby fusing and automatically cutting off the circuit, playing a safe role.
