Fuses are widely used in electrical engineering for protection against excessive current in circuits and components. The 15CLE2-125X is a fuse that has specific characteristics and functions that make it an excellent choice in certain applications. This article will explain the application field and working principle of the 15CLE2-125X fuse so that it can be properly employed and utilized.

Application Field

The 15CLE2-125X is used in power transmission and distribution, homes and buildings, and other applications requiring over-current protection. It can be used to help protect circuits, equipment, wiring, and components from overload and short-circuit currents. The 15CLE2-125X is also suitable for supplemental protection of transformers, solenoids, motors, and other inductive loads, as well as for protecting secondary circuits.

The 15CLE2-125X is available in various mounting configurations including open and enclosed fuse links, panel mount clips and receptacles, and surface mount clips and receptacles. It is also available with an alternate voltage rating (125 Vac) and current range (2A to 30A).

Working Principle

At its most basic, a fuse works by controlling current flowing between two points or nodes in an electrical circuit. In the case of the 15CLE2-125X, this involves a resistor connected between two points. When the current flowing through the resistor exceeds the rated value, the resistor will heat up faster than it can cool down, leading to a rise in its temperature. This causes the internal plastic partition, which is designed to melt or break, to do so, creating an open-circuit condition. This weakens and stops the flow of electricity to the circuit so that damage is prevented.

The 15CLE2-125X features a fast-blow characteristic, meaning it will open quickly once the rated current is exceeded. The fuse has a maximum opening time of 5 seconds, allowing for it to protect components and indicating that it is functioning properly. The current rating and speed of fuse opening are determined by its design, component selection, and application field.

The 15CLE2-125X has a high interrupting rating, meaning it can safely handle higher fault currents without sustaining damage. It has an electrical current rating of up to 125 VAC, a powerr rating of up to 15 watts, and a right-angle wire connection capacity of up to 5.5 mm2. It also has an operating temperature range of -25°C to +85°C and is available in both Class II and Class III styles.

Conclusion

The 15CLE2-125X is a special-type fuse designed for over-current protection applications. Its fast blow characteristic ensures that it can quickly respond to an excessive current, providing protection to circuits, equipment, wiring, and components. The high interrupting rating and low conduction resistance also helps reduce the effect of any faults or short-circuits. In addition, it is available in a variety of mounting configurations, making it an appropriate choice in a wide range of applications.
