5BHLE-350E

Fuses play a critical role in keeping electrical systems safe. They are designed to prevent high or low current overloads from damaging sensitive electrical equipment, hence they are employed in almost all types of electronic devices and installations. In this article, we will take a look at the 5BHLE-350E fuse, and its application field and working principle.

Overview of the 5BHLE-350E Fuse

The 5BHLE-350E is an excellent choice for protecting sensitive electronic components in residential, commercial and industrial electric power systems. It has a rated voltage of up to 350 Volts and a rated current of up to 3 Amps. The 5BHLE-350E is UL and RoHS compliant, making it the ideal choice for a wide range of applications.

The 5BHLE-350E is available in a variety of styles, such as midget, blade and plug-in fuse styles. It is small and lightweight, making it easy to install in small or confined spaces. In addition, it has a high temperature rating, making it suitable for harsh environmental conditions.

Application Field

The 5BHLE-350E is suitable for applications that require voltage and current protection up to 350V and 3A. It is often used in residential and commercial wiring systems, as well as in industrial motor control systems, switchgear, and other electrical circuits. It is also suitable for protecting electrical and electronic equipment from surge and lightning damage.

The 5BHLE-350E is particularly useful for dangerous or hazardous applications where personal safety is a paramount concern. It is often employed to safeguard circuits that control electric motors, lighting, and other electrical systems in entertainment venues, hospitals, and other places where electric shock is a risk.

Working Principle

The 5BHLE-350E fuse is designed to limit the amount of current that can flow through the circuit. When the current exceeds the fuse’s rated current, the fuse melts, interrupting the circuit and preventing the current from further damaging the connected equipment.

The 5BHLE-350E fuse uses a combination of physical design and electrical properties to disconnect the circuit in the event of a power overload. The fuse consists of a metal wire sheath filled with an electrically conductive material. When current passes through the wire sheath, it generates heat, which is absorbed by the conductive material, melting the fuse.

The 5BHLE-350E is designed to respond quickly to excessive currents, typically within milliseconds. This ensures that the fuse is able to disconnect the circuit before any damage can occur. Once a fuse has “blown”, it must be replaced before the circuit can be used again.

Conclusion

The 5BHLE-350E fuse provides reliable and effective protection for sensitive electronic components in residential, commercial and industrial electric power systems. By limiting the current to a safe level, the 5BHLE-350E ensures that your equipment is safe from overcurrent, surges and lightning damage. Understanding the application field and working principle is key to making the most of this incredibly versatile fuse.
