5HCLS-18R

Fuses are important components in every electrical system. They are designed to protect electrical components, equipment, and even people from power surges or short circuits. The 5HCLS-18R is a modular fuse manufactured by SCHURTER. It is designed for the protection of people, equipment, and components from short circuits, overloads, and over-voltages.

The 5HCLS-18R offers innovative features and benefits compared to other fuses. It is a UL Class 1422/ CSA Class 96 recognized device. It provides available versions with current ratings from 1A to 6A. The housing material consists of thermo-plastic UL 94-V0 flame-retardant. It also features a push button reset and visual reset indiaction. This ensures that the fuse can be easily reset after it has been tripped due to overload or short circuit.

The 5HCLS-18R provides superior performance with its high strength terminals. It is designed to fit into tight spaces and offers superior control over electrical system currents. It has a tamperproof button that prevents unauthorized users from tampering with or resetting the fuse. In addition, it has built-in protection from short circuits. It also features a snap-in mount and secure fastening for flexible panel mounting and secure performance.

The 5HCLS-18R can be used in a variety of applications, ranging from industrial automation and medical equipment to power supplies and automotive and transportation. Its broad operating voltage range, from 250V AC to 600V AC, is suitable for applications which require low to high voltage protection. In addition, it is capable of fast response times and high breaking capacity. Its design also ensures full electrical functionality after UL, VDE, and CSA testing.

In terms of its working principle, the 5HCLS-18R uses a fuse element to break the circuit to protect the system and its components. The fuse element responds to the currents flowing through it and when the current exceeds the rated value, it gets heated and melts, breaking the circuit and stopping further current flow. This protects the system from damage caused by surge and overload. The 5HCLS-18R also has integrated protection from accidental re-energisation due to its tamperproof features.

In summary, the 5HCLS-18R is a modular fuse designed by SCHURTER. It is designed for a wide range of applications including industrial automation, medical device, and automotive and transportation systems. Its features include UL Class 1422/ CSA Class 96 recognition, high strength terminals, snap-in mount, push button reset, and visual reset indication. In addition, its working principle relies on a fuse element which melts and breaks the circuit when the current flow exceeds a specified value, protecting the system from damage caused by surge and overload.
