5CLE1-80E

Introduction

The 5CLE1-80E is an ultra-fast electric fuse designed by Mersen. It is designed for the protection of circuits from damage caused by high excess current in high-power applications, such as automotive, industrial, military and aerospace applications. The 5CLE1-80E is a Type 4 fuse rated for up to 80V DC and is certified for UL Class H and K fuse protection.

Application field

The 5CLE1-80E is suited for powerful and high-current applications, including automotive, industrial, military, and aerospace applications. Its ultra-fast response time ensures that it will quickly react to short circuits and prevent further damage from happening. Additionally, due to its wide variety of ratings, it is suitable for both low- and high-power applications, making it a versatile and reliable choice.

In automotive applications, the 5CLE1-80E is often used to protect powertrain and other control system components, as well as engine and chassis wiring. Its high level of current protection and fast response make it ideal for protecting circuits that deal with large amounts of electricity. Additionally, its UL certification provides extra assurance that it will protect circuits in accordance with safety standards.

The 5CLE1-80E is also commonly used in industrial applications, such as switchgear, motor control, and process control systems. Its fast response time and high ratings make it suitable for protecting circuits in high-power and high-current environments. Additionally, its UL certification means that it will protect circuits in accordance with safety standards in any industrial setting.

Finally, the 5CLE1-80E is often used in military and aerospace applications, where its small size, high reliability, and fast response time make it an ideal choice for protecting delicate circuitry from short circuits or other instances of excess current. Its UL certification provides an added level of assurance that it will provide adequate protection in any environment.

Working Principle

The 5CLE1-80E electric fuse works by using a specifically designed fuse element that will melt or "open" in the presence of excess current. The fuse element is housed in a protective casing and is connected in series with the protected equipment. This allows the excess current to travel through the fuse element before entering the equipment.

When the current exceeds the fuses rated current, the fuse element will heat up and eventually melt. This interrupts the circuit, disrupting the flow of current and preventing further damage to the protected equipment. Once the circuit is opened, the temperature of the fuse element will drop and it will no longer conduct electricity.

The 5CLE1-80E has a fast response time, meaning it will react quickly to interrupt the circuit and prevent excessive current from flowing. This ensures that the fuse will be able to react quickly and effectively in the presence of an excess current situation.

Conclusion

The 5CLE1-80E electric fuse is a high-quality device designed for the protection of circuits from excess current in powerful and high-current applications. Its fast response time and UL certification make it ideal for a variety of applications in the automotive, industrial, military and aerospace industries. Additionally, its working principle ensures that it will quickly and effectively interrupt the circuit in the presence of an excess current situation, preventing further damage to the protected equipment.
