Applying emissivity to real objects<br />

In the figure IR1 example, not only is the fuse end cap temperature actually<br />

much hotter than the 103.6 ºF that it appears, the hot spot above it is most<br />

assuredly hotter than the 133.4 ºF that it appears.<br />

So, how much hotter might it be? This fused power disconnect is electrically<br />

energized, so let’s conduct a simple experiment with a metal part that is not<br />

electrically energized. Note: While this experiment may not be shocking, it<br />

can still burn you.<br />

Picture a round stainless steel block sitting at ambient temperature.<br />
