Protective Cutout Disk

Protective cutout disks are a type of protective device used in electrical and electronic equipment components. They are specifically designed to protect against overcurrent or short circuit conditions.

These disks are typically made of a material that can withstand high temperatures and are placed within a fuse or circuit breaker. When an overcurrent or short circuit occurs, the protective cutout disk will melt or break, interrupting the flow of current and protecting the equipment from damage.

The purpose of protective cutout disks is to prevent excessive current from flowing through the circuit, which can lead to overheating, fires, or damage to the equipment. They are an essential component in electrical and electronic systems to ensure the safety and proper functioning of the equipment.

It's important to note that protective cutout disks are just one type of protective device in the supply class of fuses, arrestors, absorbers, and protectors. Other types of protective devices in this class include fuses, surge arrestors, absorbers, and various types of protectors, each serving a specific purpose in protecting electrical and electronic equipment.
