How to Choose Fuses for Blockage Experiments
How to choose fuses for blockage experiments? There are some methods：
Rated current: Understanding the rated current of the equipment or motor you are testing is crucial. The rated current of the fuse should be greater than the rated current of the equipment to ensure that the fuse will disconnect the circuit and provide overload protection when the current eXCeeds the set threshold during the experiment.
Short circuit protection: In the stall experiment, the equipment may generate huge currents due to overload or stall. It is important to choose fuses with lower melting current and fast melting characteristics to prevent equipment from overheating or damage.
Freeze voltage: Select the fuse according to the voltage requirements of the equipment. The freeze voltage of the fuse should match the operating voltage of the equipment to ensure that the fuse can function properly during the experiment.
Temperature characteristics: In the stall experiment, the equipment may generate high temperatures. Choosing fuses with appropriate temperature coefficients and temperature capacities can ensure the reliability of protecting circuits in high-temperature environments.
Quick disconnection and reset: In the locked rotor experiment, once the fuse is disconnected, it should be able to quickly leave the circuit. Choosing a fuse with quick disconnect function and easy resetting will help with the experiment and protect the equipment.
Certification and Standards: Ensure that the selected fuses comply with relevant certification and standard requirements, such as UL, CE, etc. This can ensure the quality and safety of the fuse.

Classification of Fuses
2023-11-30 - Technical Discussion Fuses are divided into two categories: high voltage and low voltage. High voltage fuses for 3kV-35kV； Low voltage fuses are used for AC 220V, 380V, and DC 220V, 440V.
Temperature Characteristics of Current Fuses
2024-11-16 - Technical Discussion Current fuses exhibit specific temperature characteristics that play a crucial role in their performance and reliability. The behavior of a current fuse in response to temperature changes is determined by several factors.
What Is The Difference between Resettable Fuses and Traditional Fuses?
2024-09-04 - Technical Discussion PPTC and fuses both do the same job: protecting electronic circuits from overcurrent related issues. The difference is that the fuse must be replaced after tripping, while PPTC can reset itself. PPTC can handle sudden overcurrent events without the need for replacement.
Why are Domestic Fuses Cheap?
2024-01-07 - Design Article When choosing fuses, although they are of the same type, there are still differences. For example, the prices, quality, and parameters of fuses produced by domestic, foreign, and different fuse manufacturers may vary. Especially in terms of price, domestic fuses are cheaper than foreign ones. Why is this? There are also reasons from the fuse manufacturer.
What Do You Need to Know about Automotive Fuses
2024-01-25 - Design Article For automotive fuses, let‘s first understand: fuses are common names, their scientific name is fuse, but we usually refer to them as fuses. Their basic function is to protect the circuit when overcurrent occurs.Generally speaking, fuses mainly have two important parameters: rated current and rated voltage. We usually choose the corresponding specifications of fuses based on the current and voltage of the circuit. Automotive fuses generally adopt a plug-in design, with a plastic outer shell wrapped in a molten structure made of zinc or copper, and a metal melt connected to the pins.
Selection of Current Fuses in Automotive Circuits
2024-11-16 - Technical Discussion In automotive circuits, the selection of current fuses is of great significance for ensuring the safe operation of the vehicle. There are several key factors to consider when choosing a current fuse for an automotive circuit.
How to Understand the Holding Current and Triggering Current of Fuses
2023-12-20 - Design Article A netizen left a message asking: How do you understand the difference between maintaining the current and triggering the current of a fuse? Fuses all have a holding current and a triggering current. Below, the XC FUSE will analyze the difference between the holding current and the triggering current of fuses.
How to Design Chip Fuses
2023-11-27 - Design Article In electronic products, chip fuses have two functions: protecting end users from harm and protecting circuits from damage. These functions benefit both device users and manufacturers. Over the past decade, the demand for electronic devices serving information technology, mobile, and consumer applications has sharply increased in the market. With this rapidly growing demand, the risk of unexpected situations in electronic devices has also increased, requiring the use of overcurrent protection devices such as chip fuses to avoid risks such as electrical overload.

2024-01-17 - Technical Discussion A safety socket generally refers to a socket with a fuse and a power on indicator light. Usually, it has the characteristics of preventing leakage, overcurrent, high temperature, and lightning strikes, so safe sockets are also very popular in daily life. Today, I will tell you the importance of fuses in safe sockets.
Principles for Selecting Fuses
2023-11-29 - Technical Discussion Select the model of the fuse according to the circuit requirements and installation conditions. For circuits with small capacity, choose semi-enclosed or unfilled enclosed. The choice for high short-circuit current is the enclosed type with fillers. Select fast fuses for semiconductor component protection.
The Role of Current Fuses in Smart Meters
2024-11-08 - Technical Discussion Current fuses play a vital role in smart meters. Firstly, they provide protection against overcurrent events. Smart meters are used to measure and manage electricity consumption accurately. However, electrical circuits can sometimes experience sudden surges in current due to various reasons such as power outages and subsequent restoration, short circuits in the electrical grid, or the malfunction of connected electrical appliances.
Common Sense for Fuses
2023-11-30 - Technical Discussion A fuse refers to a self destructing fuse that experiences significant surges or other current exceeding limits in a circuit； In order to protect the components of other parts of the circuit where the fuse is located and the equipment is normal, the cost of replacing the fuse can be ignored compared to replacing the entire circuit that may be damaged. Due to the fact that fuses are a common element that needs to be replaced, we will introduce two basic concepts and provide a more in-depth introduction to fusion applications and testing and diagnostic methods.
