These fuses from manufacturer Chauvin Arnoux are specifically designed for use in the measuring instruments C.A 6121 and C.A 6165. They serve as protective components against overcurrents and ensure the functionality of the devices in the event of current surges. The product consists of 10 individual pieces and is intended for technical maintenance work as well as for spare stock.
Applications
These fuses are designed for use in specific measuring instruments from manufacturer Chauvin Arnoux, particularly models C.A 6121 and C.A 6165. These devices are used in electrical engineering and measurement technology, for example for current and voltage measurement. The fuses protect the internal circuits of these devices from damage due to excessive current loads.
Functions and Equipment in Detail
The fuses have a rated current of 16 A, meaning they can be operated normally up to this current level without tripping. The tripping characteristic is
slow-acting, meaning they tolerate short-term current surges, such as those occurring during device startup or transient loads, without unnecessary disconnection. This prevents unwanted shutdowns under normal operating load. The rated voltage is 500 V, indicating the maximum voltage at which the fuse operates safely.
Technology Explained Simply
The dimensions of 6 x 32 mm correspond to a standard size for fuses used in many measuring instruments. These dimensions allow for easy installation and quick replacement without requiring additional tools or modifications. The slow-acting tripping characteristic is particularly important in applications where short-term current surges occur without triggering a protective shutdown. Thus, the fuse remains closed during short-term load surges but trips during sustained overcurrent to prevent damage.
Compatibility and Accessories
The fuses are exclusively intended for the measuring instruments C.A 6121 and C.A 6165.
Installation and Mounting
Installation is carried out in the designated fuse holders of the devices C.A 6121 and C.A 6165. The dimensions of 6 x 32 mm fit exactly into the designated sockets. Replacement is possible without tools, as the fuses are inserted directly into the holder. Mounting is typically done by simply inserting the fuse into the corresponding socket in the device.
Operational Advantages
The slow-acting tripping characteristic ensures reliable operation under normal operating conditions, preventing the devices from shutting down due to short-term current surges. The rated voltage of 500 V and rated current of 16 A provide sufficient protection for the internal circuits of the measuring instruments. The delivery in a pack of 10 pieces enables efficient maintenance and stock keeping, allowing for quick replacement when needed.
