8BHLE-15E

8BHLE-15E application field and working principle

Fuses are one of the oldest overcurrent protection devices, used for a variety of applications. The 8BHLE-15E fuse is a high-breaking capacity, high- voltage fuses primarily used in the electrical and control industries. It is designed with a low-voltage circuit protection offer with a breaking capacity up to 15 kA, and has an operating voltage of up to 13.8kV.

Application areas

The 8BHLE-15E fuse can be used in a variety of applications, ranging from commercial, consumer, industrial and medical. It is commonly used in electrical power distribution, circuits, control systems, telecommunications, and other types of communications. It is also suitable for use in outdoor applications, in temperatures from -55°C to +120°C.

Specific areas where the 8BHLE-15E can be used include:

• Electrical power distribution systems
• Circuit protection
• Control systems
• Telecommunications
• Signal systems
• Industrial environments
• Medical systems

Working principles

The 8BHLE-15E fuse is designed with a series of precisely calibrated metal silver or aluminum clips that open as soon as an overcurrent fault occurs, interrupting the electrical circuit. This prevents further current from passing through the circuit, thereby protecting components and wiring from potentially dangerous levels of power.

The 8BHLE-15E’s design is based on the principles of overcurrent protection, which is the action of preventing as much electricity as possible from passing through the circuit. This is achieved by using a device called an overcurrent protection device (OCPD) that is connected to the circuit and senses any overcurrent fault occurring in the system. If an overload or short-circuit is detected, the OCPD will detect the fault and act to interrupt the current flow.

The 8BHLE-15E fuse can be used in a variety of applications where high-current protection is needed. It is particularly suitable for use in electrical power distribution systems, medical systems, telecommunications, and consumer electronic devices.
