Forklift Fuse

Forklift Fuse - A fuse comprises either a wire fuse element or a metal strip in a small cross-section which are attached to circuit conductors. These units are normally mounted between two 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 generates heat due to the current flow. The construction and the size of the element is empirically determined so as to be 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 melts directly or it rises to a higher temperature and melts a soldered joint in the fuse that opens the circuit.

When the metal conductor parts, an electric arc is formed between un-melted ends of the fuse. The arc begins to grow until the needed voltage so as to sustain the arc is in fact greater than the circuits existing voltage. 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 method really improves the fuse interruption speed. Where current-limiting fuses are concerned, the voltage needed to sustain the arc builds up fast enough to essentially stop the fault current prior to the first peak of the AC waveform. This effect greatly limits damage to downstream protected units.

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

The fuse elements may be shaped in order to increase the heating effect. In larger fuses, the current could be divided among several metal strips, whereas a dual-element fuse may have metal strips that melt immediately upon a short-circuit. This particular type of fuse can also contain 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 would make certain that no strain is placed on the element but a spring may be included so as to increase the speed of parting the element fragments.

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