Measurement devices, sensors and machine controls – industrial electronics are the nerve system of the commercial economy, which is why this technology is scoring one success after another. Complex and in some cases extremely miniaturised devices and equipment communicate closely with one another to ensure that everything works exactly as it should. Elaborate programming guarantees that all the different cogs in the production machinery work together smoothly.
Equipment of this kind needs special protection: SIBA safety fuses are designed to ensure that if the worst comes to the worst your components will have a soft landing. Which means no damage is done to the electronics.
Protecting your drive system from damage
Heating pumps, ventilation and air conditioning systems and submersible pumping equipment: electric drive units like these often have to run for many thousands of hours on end and modern versions are even designed to operate maintenance-free.
But if the motor is at risk of a short circuit or electrical surge, SIBA safety fuses will be there to ensure that any damage will be limited. With a range of different types available you will always find the right one for your control electronics, usually in the form of an SMD fuse with a 277 volt AC rating. If higher voltages or outputs need protecting, then cylindrical fuses (6.3 x 32 mm) are the answer as these can handle voltages of up to 630 V AC and rated currents of up to 32 A (which is up to 305 V).
