5BHCL-250E

Fuses are electrical protection devices that detect and isolate a circuit or a part of the circuit from an overcurrent, an overload of current, or a short circuit. The 5BHCL-250E circuit breaker is a type of fuse manufactured by Shipley, a renowned international manufacturer of circuit protection solutions. This 5A fuse provides superior protection for circuits in a broad range of applications.

Application Field

The 5BHCL-250E offers outstanding current-limiting protection for a variety of low voltage power supplies, including remote switchgear, rack and control panels, as well as for general lighting circuits and AC motor circuits. In addition, this 5A fuse can be used in military applications and any protection application that requires reliable protection from current surges.

Working Principle

As a current-limiting fuse, the 5BHCL-250E fuse is designed to maxmimise the protection of the circuits it is connected to. When a fault occurs, the fuse wire melts rapidly, therefore creating an arc and breaking the circuit, thus limiting any further damage from occurring. The fuse is designed to limit the fault current to 2.5 times of its rated current. This ensures that the sensitive equipment connected to the circuit is protected against hazardous fault current.

Testing and Inspections

The 5BHCL-250E fuse is designed and tested to meet all relevant safety standards, including UL, CSA and ULK-110. All Shipley 5BHCL-250E fuses are subject to periodic inspections in the factory to ensure their quality. Furthermore, the product goes through rigorous testing in an independent laboratory to ensure that it meets all statutory regulations.

Conclusion

The 5BHCL-250E current-limiting fuse is a reliable and efficient fuse that can protect your circuits from hazardous current overloads, short circuits, and other types of overcurrent. It is designed to meet all relevant safety standards and undergoes rigorous testing before it leaves the factory, thus ensuring a high level of safety and protection for the circuits it is used in.
