Forklift Fuse

Forklift Fuse - A fuse comprises either a metal strip on a wire fuse element within a small cross-section that are attached to circuit conductors. These devices are usually mounted between a couple of electrical terminals and quite often the fuse is cased within a non-conducting and non-combustible housing. The fuse is arranged in series capable of carrying all the current passing throughout the protected circuit. The resistance of the element produces heat due to the current flow. The size and the construction of the element is empirically determined to be sure that the heat generated for a normal current does not cause the element to attain a high temperature. In cases where too high of a current flows, the element either rises to a higher temperature and melts a soldered joint within the fuse that opens the circuit or it melts directly.

An electric arc forms between the un-melted ends of the element when the metal conductor parts. The arc grows in length until the voltage considered necessary to sustain the arc becomes higher as opposed to the available voltage inside the circuit. This is what leads to the current flow to become terminated. When it comes to alternating current circuits, the current naturally reverses direction on every cycle. This particular process significantly enhances the fuse interruption speed. Where current-limiting fuses are concerned, the voltage needed in order to sustain the arc builds up fast enough to be able to basically stop the fault current prior to the first peak of the AC waveform. This effect greatly limits damage to downstream protected devices.

The fuse is usually made from copper, alloys, silver, aluminum or zinc because these allow for predictable and stable characteristics. The fuse ideally, would carry its current for an undetermined period and melt quickly on a small excess. It is important that the element must not become damaged by minor harmless surges of current, and should not oxidize or change its behavior following potentially years of service.

In order to increase heating effect, the fuse elements can be shaped. In large fuses, currents may be separated between multiple metal strips. A dual-element fuse can have a metal strip that melts immediately on a short circuit. This kind of fuse may also comprise a low-melting solder joint that responds to long-term overload of low values compared to a short circuit. Fuse elements could be supported by steel or nichrome wires. This ensures that no strain is placed on the element but a spring could be included to increase the speed of parting the element fragments.

The fuse element is normally surrounded by materials which work to speed up the quenching of the arc. Some examples comprise non-conducting liquids, silica sand and air.
