15ASL16C-2US

An electrical fuse is an important link in all electrical circuits. Its primary purpose is to protect the wiring and other components from damage due to an overload or short circuit. Fuse technology has advanced significantly in recent years, and the 15ASL16C-2US fuse is one of the most widely used. It is designed to protect all types of circuits, from high voltage transmission lines to solar power systems.

The 15ASL16C-2US fuse is a low voltage-current device. It is rated for applications up to 600 volts AC and 250 volts DC. It has a limit of 32 volts peak for transient voltage cases and up to a 6 kilovolt insulation level for continuous use cases. This fuse is most often used in general purpose electrical equipment, household and automotive appliances, and special purpose equipment such as power tools and industrial control circuits.

The basic working principle of the fuse is to provide an open circuit condition whenever the current flowing through it exceeds the rated value. The current flow causes a small metal element inside the fuse to reach its melting temperature and thereby open the circuit. A visual indicator, such as a flag on the fuse, usually indicates that the fuse has opened. When this happens, the fuse needs to be replaced before the circuit can be operated again.

The 15ASL16C-2US fuse also features special protection designed to limit damage from a system fault. This protection includes current ratings that are adjustable by a simple sliding action on the fuse, thereby allowing a further customization for the specific application. Another feature of this type of fuse is the ability to interrupt a large fault current, over 2,500 amps at 115/230 volts AC. This design helps protect expensive equipment from severe damage before the circuit automatically opens.

The 15ASL16C-2US fuse also features an adjustable time-delay protection, in which the fuse will delay opening of the circuit to allow slower-rising transient faults to pass without opening the circuit. Finally, the fuse has a unique “snap-off” feature that mechanically opens the circuit if the fault current exceeds a certain value.

The 15ASL16C-2US fuse is a reliable, cost-effective, and easy-to-install device designed for a multitude of uses. It is manufactured with a variety of materials, including ceramic and voltage enhancements, to provide superior performance and reliability. With its versatility and rugged design, this fuse can be used for a wide range of applications, from residential and commercial to industrial and military. In addition, the 15ASL16C-2US is the preferred choice for all types of power systems, having been tested and approved for use in the renewable energy industry.
