Basic composition

General fuse is composed of three parts: one is the melt part, it is the core of the fuse, fuse when the role of cutting the current, the same type, the same specification of fuse melt, the material should be the same, the geometric size should be the same, the resistance value as small as possible and consistent, the most important thing is that the fuse characteristics should be consistent, household fuse commonly used lead antimony alloy made of; The second is the electrode part, usually there are two, it is an important part of the melt and the circuit connection, it must have good conductivity, should not produce obvious installation contact resistance; The third is the support part, the fuse melt is generally thin and soft, the role of the support is to fix the melt and make the three parts a rigid whole easy to install and use, it must have good mechanical strength, insulation, heat resistance and flame retardant, in use should not produce fracture, deformation, combustion and short circuit and other phenomena.

 

Arc extinguishing device

The fuses used by power circuits and high-power equipment not only have three parts of the general fuse, but also have arc extinguishing devices, because the circuit protected by such fuses not only has a large working current, but also the voltage at both ends is high when the melt is fused, and often the melt has melted (fused) or even vaporized, but the current is not cut off. The reason is that at the moment of fusing under the action of voltage and current, the arc phenomenon occurs between the two electrodes of the fuse. The arc extinguishing device must have strong insulation and good thermal conductivity, and be electronegative. Quartz sand is the commonly used arc extinguishing material.

 

Fuse breaker

In addition, there are some fuses with a fuse indication device, its role is when the fuse action (fuse) after its own appearance changes, easy to be found by maintenance personnel, such as: light, color change, pop-up solid indicator, etc.
