5ET 1.6-R

5ET 1.6-R fuses are medium-voltage circuit protection devices. They are designed for AC power systems with a voltage rating of between 3.6 kV and the highest published voltage rating. They are available in both open-link and feedback-indicating designs. 5ET 1.6-R fuses feature optimized arcing-current characteristics, making them highly reliable when it comes to interrupting high-amplitude currents. Additionally, they have a long rejection time, reducing the risk of connecting energized equipment.

The 5ET 1.6-R fuse provides protection in many types of environments, ranging from residential and industrial power systems, to utilities and commercial applications. They are also suitable for use with photovoltaic systems, electric motors, battery charger protection, faulted feeder protection, system coordination studies, and in industrial monitoring and control systems. Additionally, these medium-voltage fuses are designed and tested to be resistant to corrosion, shocks, and other destructive forces.

The working principles of the 5ET 1.6-R fuses involve the pinpoint interruption of electric current when an over-current condition is detected. The operating time, or rejection time, is the time it takes for the fuse to detect the over-current and open the circuit. Generally, this is measured in milliseconds, which is enough of a time frame for the fuse to react before any major damage is inflicted upon the connected equipment. The 5ET 1.6-R fuses also feature specialized arcing-current characteristics, which help protect the fuse-holder and equipment from arcing during the interruption process.

5ET 1.6-R fuses also provide the benefit of easy installation, which helps to reduce labor time and costs. They feature integrated fuse-holder design, which make them easier to mount and manage in a wide variety of applications. In addition, these fuses are designed with a wide range of mounting options, so that they can be adapted to fit any special needs. This makes them an ideal choice for many industrial, commercial, and utility applications.

5ET 1.6-R fuses provide an excellent solution for circuit protection, offering high-interruption ratings, long rejection times, low-resistance arcing-current characteristics, and easy installation. Their versatility makes them suitable for a wide range of applications, and they are also designed to withstand a variety of environmental conditions. As such, they are a reliable solution for many types of electric power systems.
