5SCLE-100E

Fuse technology is a critical part of modern electrical and electronic applications, providing a safe and reliable way to protect against overload, short circuit, isolation failure, and many other hazardous events. A fuse consists of a metal strip or wire which melts when overloaded to prevent excess current. The 5SCLE-100E is a low voltage fuse designed specifically for controlling electronic loads. This fuse is utilized in a wide variety of electronic equipment and control systems for its high current protection capability and reliable performance.

The 5SCLE-100E fuse has a single-pole design with an integrated bi-metallic fault detector. It features an operating temperature range up to 100°C, and is able to carry a current rating up to 100A. The device also has a variety of accessories, such as end caps, mounting adapters, and a shunt trip. The integrated fault detector is a thin transparent strip which will physically deform in the event of excess current. This allows the device to accurately detect the current and shut off the circuit quickly.

As a UL certified fuse, the 5SCLE-100E is suitable for a variety of applications including automotive, telecom, and industrial control systems. It is typically used to protect electrical circuits from overload and short circuit damage, as well as to isolate devices and components when power is removed from the system. The fuse can also be used as a breaker in certain circuit configurations. For example, it can be used to disconnect a load automatically when it detects an overload.

The working principle of the 5SCLE-100E fuse is based on two elements: the heat-sensitive bi-metallic strip, which senses current changes, and the thermal fuse link, which provides the circuit opening function. The bi-metallic strip is composed of two different metals, each having its own characteristic temperature range. When the current exceeds the predetermined limit, the strip heats up and bends inwards, which makes contact with the thermal fuse link. This triggers the circuit to open, as the fuse link melts at a higher temperature than the bi-metallic strip.

In addition to traditional overcurrent protection, the 5SCLE-100E can also be used for high speed arc fault detection. This feature allows the fuse to detect a fault without an auxiliary system. The arc fault detector has a time delay feature, which allows it to respond to transient arc events without tripping the circuit. This helps to reduce the possibility of nuisance trips.

The 5SCLE-100E low voltage fuse offers superior current protection and reliable operation. It is designed to be used in a wide variety of applications from automotive and telecom to industrial control systems. The device has a single-pole design with an integrated bi-metallic fault detector, and utilizes thermal fuse links to provide circuit protection. The integrated arc fault protection helps to ensure rapid response to potential faults. With its robust design and superior performance, the 5SCLE-100E fuse is well suited for protecting critical applications.
