2CLE-100E

Fuses are protective devices that are used to disconnect circuits when there is an excess of electric current. The 2CLE-100E is a fuse specifically designed to protect electrical circuits against overloads and short circuits, suitable for both AC and DC applications. This article will discuss the applications and working principle of the 2CLE-100E fuse.

Applications

The 2CLE-100E is a fuse specifically designed for use on electrical circuits requiring protection from overloads or short circuits. It is suitable for both AC and DC applications. The 2CLE-100E can be used on circuits supplied by a variety of AC and DC sources, from the lower voltage AC systems (110 or 220 volts) up to the higher voltage DC systems (400 to 600 volts).

The 2CLE-100E is suitable for use in a wide range of environments, from industrial, commercial, and residential environments to automotive, marine, and other similar applications. The 2CLE-100E is also suitable for operation in hazardous or potentially hazardous environments, such as those containing flammable or explosive gases and vapors.

Working Principle

The 2CLE-100E fuse works by interrupting the circuit when an excessive amount of current passes through the device. The fuse contains a metal filament or wire that melts when the current passes through it. When the metal filament melts, the current is interrupted and the circuit is opened. The current in the circuit is then reduced to a safe level, preventing any damage or injury.

The melting of the metal filament is what is referred to as the ‘operating temperature’ of the fuse. The higher the operating temperature of the fuse, the more current it can protect against. The 2CLE-100E fuse is designed to operate at a melting temperature of 100 degrees Celsius (212 Fahrenheit), meaning it can protect against a maximum current of 100 amps.

The 2CLE-100E is also designed with a ‘time-delay’ feature. This feature ensures that the fuse does not trip in the event of a momentary or short duration overload. Instead, the fuse will allow a certain amount of time for the overload current to pass before it trips.

Conclusion

The 2CLE-100E is a fuse designed to protect electrical circuits against overloads and short circuits. It is suitable for both AC and DC applications and can be used in a variety of environments, from industrial to automotive. The fuse operates at a melting temperature of 100 degrees Celsius, allowing it to protect against a maximum current of 100 amps. The 2CLE-100E also features a time-delay feature, allowing it to prevent momentary or short duration overloads.
