5CLE-100E

Most electric distribution systems use some type of electrical fuse for protection. Fuses are a physical type of overload protection device designed to trip off when too much current flows through the circuit. In the event of a short circuit or overload, the fuse will shut down the entire system. One type of fuse commonly used in industrial and commercial facilities is the 5CLE-100E.

The 5CLE-100E is a thermal-magnetic mini fuse designed to protect circuits in the range of 6.3 to 100 amperes. It has a thermal-magnetic design that detects both overload and short circuit conditions. The thermal element is designed to detect overload conditions while the magnetic element detects short circuits. It is rated for 800VAC and 1000VDC applications and is rated for interrupting current up to 100,000A.

The 5CLE-100E is widely used in various industrial and commercial applications, particularly those that require reliable over-current protection. It is commonly found in motor control circuits, heating and air conditioning units, emergency lights, and consumer electronics. It is also used in power supplies, consumer electronics, computer and telecom equipment, and automotive systems.

The working principle of the 5CLE-100E is relatively simple. Its thermal element is designed to detect excessive current by heating up in the presence of high current. When the current reaches its set point, it will trip and cut off the circuit. The magnetic element works by detecting sudden changes in current, such as those caused by a short circuit. When the current exceeds a certain level, the magnetic element will trip and cut off the circuit.

The 5CLE-100E is a widely used and reliable fuse with a low failure rate. It is also a cost-effective solution for circuits up to 100 amperes. With its reliable design and performance, the 5CLE-100E provides reliable over-current protection in most industrial and commercial applications.
