Forklift Fuse

Forklift Fuse - A fuse consists of either a wire fuse element or a metal strip inside a small cross-section that are attached to circuit conductors. These devices are usually mounted between a pair of electrical terminals and usually the fuse is cased inside a non-conducting and non-combustible housing. The fuse is arranged in series which can carry all the current passing through the protected circuit. The resistance of the element generates heat due to the current flow. The size and the construction of the element is empirically determined so as to make sure that the heat produced for a standard current does not cause the element to attain a high temperature. In instances 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 components. The arc grows in length until the voltage required so as to sustain the arc becomes higher than the accessible voltage within the circuit. This is what truly leads to the current flow to become terminated. Where alternating current circuits are concerned, the current naturally reverses course on each and every cycle. This particular process really enhances the speed of fuse interruption. Where current-limiting fuses are concerned, the voltage required so as to sustain the arc builds up fast enough to essentially stop the fault current before the first peak of the AC waveform. This particular effect greatly limits damage to downstream protected devices.

Usually, the fuse element comprises copper, alloys, silver, aluminum or zinc which would offer predictable and stable characteristics. Ideally, the fuse will carry its rated current indefinitely and melt fast on a small excess. It is important that the element should not become damaged by minor harmless surges of current, and should not oxidize or change its behavior subsequent to potentially years of service.

The fuse elements may be shaped to increase the heating effect. In larger fuses, the current could be separated amongst several metal strips, whereas a dual-element fuse might have metal strips which melt immediately upon a short-circuit. This type of fuse may even have a low-melting solder joint which responds to long-term overload of low values than a short circuit. Fuse elements can be supported by steel or nichrome wires. This ensures that no strain is placed on the element but a spring can be incorporated to increase the speed of parting the element fragments.

It is normal for the fuse element to be surrounded by materials which are meant to speed the quenching of the arc. Non-conducting liquids, silica sand and air are some examples.
