02513.15NRT1L

Fuses

02513.15NRT1L is a type of fuse used in electrical and electronic circuitry. These fuses are suitable for a wide range of voltage and current applications. The fuse is also UL recognized for use in UL 489 motor branch circuits. It is designed to cut off electrical current when it reaches a pre-determined amount of current overload or short circuit. This type of fuse is commonly seen in home and automotive electrical systems.

Application Field

The application fields for 02513.15NRT1L include protection for motors, transformers, circuit breakers, distributing circuits, motors, tools and other electrical equipment in industrial, commercial and residential settings. It is also used for the protection of electronic equipment such as computer systems. This type of fuse is often used as an additional safeguard in applications where the primary fuse may not be able to handle the load or short circuit. It is also used as an emergency backup in the event of an overload.

Working Principle

The 02513.15NRT1L fuse works by melting the metal fuse element. This damages the internal baffles which in turn opens the current flow. The fuse element is made of metal which has a higher melting point than regular metal, allowing it to withstand higher current before melting. When it overloads or shorts circuit, the fuse opens the circuit by melting and protecting the circuit components from damage.

Advantages

The 02513.15NRT1L fuse has several advantages over other types of fuses. It offers a high breaking capacity of 15 amps and a voltage rating of 15 volts. The UL labeling also means that it meets UL standards for safety. Additionally, it is designed to be self-resetting, meaning that it will reset after it has been opened due to an overload. The design also adds some degree of safety to the circuit by limiting the current when a short circuit occurs.

Disadvantages

The main disadvantage of the 02513.15NRT1L fuse is that it has a shorter lifespan than other types of fuses. Due to its self-resetting feature, the fuse element can wear out after multiple opens. This can make the fuse less reliable in high-usage settings. Other issues can include incorrect installation, improper voltage rating or too much current draw in the circuit. Any of these issues can cause the fuse to open regularly.
