These fuses from manufacturer Chauvin Arnoux are specifically designed for use in measuring instruments of type C.A 6160. They serve as protective components against overcurrents and ensure the stable operation of the device, particularly under increased operating conditions. The product consists of 10 fuses with a rated current of 16 A and a slow-blow characteristic, which ensures controlled response to short-term current surges. The fuses are designed for a rated voltage of 500 V and have compact dimensions of 6 x 32 mm, enabling easy installation and quick replacement. The set is ideal for maintenance work or as spare stock in operation.
Applications
These fuses are exclusively intended for use in measuring instruments of type C.A 6160. They protect the internal electronic components from damage caused by excessive current loads, which may result from incorrect operation, power supply disturbances, or other electrical anomalies. The specific design for this device type ensures optimal fit and function in the intended application environment.
Functions and Equipment in Detail
The fuses feature a
slow-blow characteristic, meaning they tolerate short-term current surges, such as those occurring during device startup or transient power supply disturbances, without tripping. This prevents unnecessary shutdowns and ensures continuous operational capability. The
rated current of 16 A defines the maximum current the fuse can carry continuously without melting. The
rated voltage of 500 V indicates that the fuse is designed for operating voltages up to this value and functions safely under these conditions.
Technology Explained Simply
The
dimensions of 6 x 32 mm correspond to a standard format for fuses in electronic devices, enabling easy integration into device construction. The
slow-blow characteristic is particularly important in measuring instruments, which often experience short-term current surges during activation or measurement processes. An overly sensitive fuse would lead to frequent shutdowns here. The
rated voltage of 500 V ensures that the fuse remains safe and functional even under higher operating voltages.
Compatibility and Accessories
The fuses are exclusively compatible with measuring instrument type C.A 6160. There are no further accessories or combination options mentioned in the text. Use in other devices is not intended and may lead to malfunctions or damage.
Installation and Mounting
Installation is performed by inserting the fuse into the designated fuse holder of the C.A 6160 device. The compact dimensions of 6 x 32 mm allow for easy replacement. No additional tools are required, as the fuses are mechanically inserted into the holder. Mounting is carried out during maintenance or when replacing a defective component.
Operational Advantages
The
slow-blow characteristic prevents unnecessary shutdowns during short-term current surges, thereby increasing operational continuity. The
rated voltage of 500 V and
rated current of 16 A provide sufficient protection range for the requirements of the C.A 6160 device. The set of
10 pieces enables efficient spare stock management and reduces maintenance time, as replacement fuses are immediately available.
