As a key circuit protection component, fuses play a vital role in power systems and power equipment. The following are the main application areas of fuses:
First, Home circuit protection
In home circuits, fuses are usually used to protect electrical equipment such as lighting, TVs, washing machines, etc. from overload or short-circuit damage. When the current in the circuit exceeds the rated value of the fuse, the fuse will automatically blow and cut off the circuit, thus preventing the electrical equipment from being damaged or starting a fire.
Second,Industrial Circuit Protection
In the industrial field, fuses are widely used to protect motors, sensors and other electronic equipment. In industrial circuits, due to the complexity and high power of the equipment, once the overload or short circuit occurs, it may cause serious equipment damage or even production accidents. Therefore, the existence of fuses is of great significance to ensure the safe and stable operation of industrial circuits.
Third, Solar photovoltaic system protection
In solar photovoltaic systems, fuses are used to prevent damage to PV modules due to short circuits. PV modules are usually connected in series to form a PV array. Once a short circuit occurs in one component, the current of the entire array will increase dramatically, which may lead to damage of other components as well. Fuses can cut off the circuit at this critical moment to protect the PV module from damage.
Fourth, Automotive electronic circuit protection
In automotive electrical systems, fuses are used to protect batteries, lights, motors and other electrical equipment. The current in the automobile circuit fluctuates greatly, and there are a variety of transient current impact, such as starting current, braking current and so on. Fuses can maintain stable performance under these transient current shocks to ensure the safe operation of automotive circuits.
