15XABR20

15XABR20 are electrical specialty fuses that serve many purposes in a wide range of applications. Generally, these fuses can be used to protect devices or systems from damage due to overcurrent, short circuit, or overload. They can also provide other advantages such as circuit isolation or power relaying capabilities.

15XABR20 fuses use a bimetallic ribbon to sense current levels and open the circuit when the current exceeds the designed rating. The bimetallic ribbon is constructed of two different metals, such as copper and aluminum, that have different thermal expansion coefficients. This thermal expansion property, or “thermally fusing” property, allows the ribbon to heat up and break the electrical circuit when exposed to an excessive current. The fuses act as a physical link between the electrical circuit and the electrical device that is to be protected.

The 15XABR20 specification requires the fuses to have a minimum current rating of 20A and a maximum voltage rating of 600 volts. They are UL approved and CSA certified for many applications. Additionally, they are manufactered to meet ABYC and ISO9002 standards.

15XABR20 fuses are able to function in many different areas where overcurrent protection is needed. Typical applications include motor control centers, switchgear, motor control relays, contactors, and lighting fixtures. This type of fuse is also used in the biomedical field where critical systems must be protected from overloads. Other applications include bomb detection devices, power meters, and fire alarm systems.

Due to their small size and low profile, 15XABR20 fuses can be placed in many applications where space is a concern. They are available in a variety of packages that offer varying levels of protection. Some versions are enclosed in plastic or metal boxes that are designed to act as a sealed, weatherproof barrier. Others have a clear box that allows for visual inspection of the fuse. Additionally, there are versions that have a twistable central post for easy installation and removal.

In summary, 15XABR20 are electrical specialty fuses designed for a wide range of applications. They are UL approved and CSA certified and offer many advantages in protecting circuits or devices from overloads and other dangerous currents. Furthermore, they are small and are available in a variety of packages that offer various levels of protection.
