0501015.WR Circuit Protection

0501015.WR Application Field and Working Principle

The 0501015.WR is a general-purpose/industrial “blade” fuse from Klein Electric Fuses. This type of fuse is used in industrial applications to protect circuits against overloads and, in some cases, short circuits. It is also commonly used in homes, vehicles, and commercial applications.

The 0501015.WR is rated for a current of 0–15 A and a voltage of 0–32 V. It is available in three physical configurations: the Standard Fuse, Miniature Fuse, and Micro Fuse. The Standard Fuse has a wire-and-connector design with screw-in mounting. The Miniature and Micro Fuses have snap-on bases that make them easy to install in tight, limited spaces.

When electrical current to the protected circuit reaches the 0501015.W\'s predetermined rating, typically 15 A, the fuse “blows” by melting its internal connection, breaking the circuit and protecting it from further damage. The blade fuses are designed with a clear, visible area so that they can be easily inspected to determine the condition of the fuse.

Most cars on the road today use 0501015.W blade fuses to protect their electrical circuits. In automotive applications, the use of a blade fuse ensures that if an excessive current passes through, the protection system will activate and the current will be broken, preventing damage to the vehicle\'s electrical system.

In industrial applications, the 0501015.WR is used to protect circuits from overloads and potential short circuits. The fuse is typically used on machine tools, CNCs, and other industrial equipment. It can also be used to protect circuits on both residential and commercial premises, such as appliances, lighting, and other electrical devices.

In summary, the 0501015.WR is a general-purpose “blade” fuse from Klein Electric Fuses. It is used to protect circuits in both industrial and residential/commercial applications. It is available in three physical configurations: Standard Fuse, Miniature Fuse, and Micro Fuse. When the prescribed current rating is exceeded, the fuse breaks the circuit and prevents further damage.
