Fuses are often used in electrical installations to provide overload protection for conductors, and they are also used in the event of short circuits. The 8CLE-15E-D is a type of fuse specifically designed for use in hazardous locations. This article will discuss the application field and working principle of the 8CLE-15E-D fuse.

The 8CLE-15E-D fuse is an UL Class I, Division 2 rated fuse designed for use in locations where a hazardous atmosphere is present. It is rated for use in environments where flammable gas or vapor can be released into the atmosphere, such as oil refineries, chemical plants, and offshore drilling platforms. It can also be used in a variety of operating temperatures; ranging from -40°F to 140°F (-40°C to 60°C).

The 8CLE-15E-D is a Type D fuse, which is a low-voltage current-limiting fuse. This fuse type is used to limit potential damage to connected circuits in the event of an overload or short circuit. It is designed to provide overload protection at current levels up to 15A, and is capable of withstanding short circuit currents up to 16kA. It is also designed to provide arc fault protection, as it will detect and interrupt any electrical arcs that could be hazardous to personnel.

The 8CLE-15E-D fuse works by interrupting the flow of electric current when the current flow exceeds the rated value of the fuse. The substrate within the fuse uses a combination of copper and a special non-organic compound, which are designed to react quickly to an increase in the current flow. When the voltage across the contacts of the fuse exceeds the fuse\'s rated value, the current will cause the substrate to heat up. This process creates a melt-down or \'breaking\' of the fuse, which will allow the current to fall to a safe value.

The 8CLE-15E-D fuse features a special temperature-sensitive valve, which is designed to release built-up gas pressure in the event of an overload. This feature keeps both personnel and equipment safe by providing a safe outlet for the pressure. Additionally, the fuse also features an indication window, which allows users to identify any current interruption without having to remove the fuse from the circuit.

The 8CLE-15E-D fuse is a reliable and robust solution for providing thermal and arc fault protection in hazardous areas. It is designed to be used in electrical installations to protect personnel and equipment from the hazards associated with flammable gases and vapors. It is capable of withstanding overloads and short circuits, as well as providing arc fault protection. In addition, this fuse is equipped with a temperature-sensitive valve to allow for the safe release of any built-up gas pressure, and includes an indication window to easily identify any current interruption.
