why semiconductor fuse used in drive ,not ordinary?

Answer Posted / tariq

Because semiconductors has negative resistance temperature
co-efficient. When current flows in it, its temperature
increases due to I^2*R losses but resistance decrease
accordingly. The decrease in resistance allows more current
to flow in it which produces more heat. It will melt
ultimately.

Hi everyone, I'm Lachuu, recently joined automation company as PLC Engineer. I have certain basic question, I request all big gurus and seniors to answer these question. Because this will be very helpful to me as well starters like me. How to design a control circuit (ex: pick & place - my current project) Yamaha robot PxYx series controller RCX222, using 6 cylinder double acting, plc keyence kv p16r 2 expansion unit for input and output each. How to select panel terminal mcb elcb powersupply. My main concern in some projects how to select dc power supply, mcb rcb(I came across dif bt b c d curves, but stil confusing, pls help me :-(. I would really appreciate all who are going respond to this question.
