The 15ASL160C-2US is an electrical specialty fuse used in many industrial and commercial applications. It is a cylindrical, cartridge-type fuse with a time-delay feature, designed to protect devices from electrical damage due to overload or short-circuit current. The fuse is made of a copper cylinder with three slots around its circumference. The slots are designed to accept small, cylindrical blades which indicate a fault within the circuit. This fuse is UL listed for both indoor and outdoor use and meets the standards established by the National Electrical Code (NEC).

The 15ASL160C-2US features a time-delay current-limiting element that minimizes nuisance fuse trips from certain fault conditions. This feature provides important protection against short-circuit faults within the protected circuit without causing a nuisance interruption of power during normal operation. The fuse has a current rating equal to the maximum current that can flow through it before it breaks, and the time-delay feature allows the fuse to temporarily withstand current surges up to three times its rated current before breaking.

The 15ASL160C-2US also features a type 2 low-breaking capacity. This means that the fuse will break at a lower current than standard fuses, protecting delicate components from potential damage caused by a short circuit. This type of fuse is also UL recognized and complies with CSA electrical safety standards. This makes it suitable for installation in building applications such as HVAC systems, motors and household appliances.

The working principle behind the 15ASL160C-2US is simple. When the current within a circuit exceeds the fuse’s rated current, the fuse begins to heat up. After a certain amount of time, it is designed to break or “open” the circuit, preventing a dangerous amount of current from flowing. It is important to note that a fuse will not react immediately to an overload, allowing a minor fault to pass that may cause relatively little damage. However, most faults generate high current rapidly, in which case, the fuse will break the circuit before significant damage can occur.

The 15ASL160C-2US is an important tool for protecting circuits from damage due to electrical overload and short circuits. Its type 2 low-breaking capacity makes it suitable for protecting sensitive equipment from electrical overloads, and its time-delay feature provides important protection against short-circuit faults. When choosing a fuse for industrial and commercial applications, the 15ASL160C-2US should be considered for its combination of features and reliability.
