Can temperature fuse be used instead of current fuse? A: No. Because the temperature fuse is only sensitive to temperature, it is insensitive to excessive current.
First of all, the temperature fuse is an overheat protection element, and overheating will cut off the circuit. Thermal overcurrent caused by short circuit and component failure can be detected.
Secondly, the current fuse mainly plays the role of overload protection. When the current abnormally rises to a certain height and heat, cut off the current to protect the safe operation of the circuit.
Therefore, both of them protect the circuit, but the fusing conditions are different. If the two are replaced, when the circuit is abnormal, the circuit may not be cut off, resulting in circuit and personnel danger.
However, both products have their own current characteristics, so please use them in strict accordance with the requirements of rated current and rated voltage. It is a primary protection component and cannot be used again after fusing.
