8CLE-15E

Fuses are essential components in electrical and electronic circuitry, acting as a safeguard against excessive current and consequently overloading of the electrical circuit. They are a simple, low-cost device that interrupts the flow of current in a circuit if the current becomes too high or exceeds a predetermined level for a given duration. Fuses are designed to bridge the gap between system design and safety codes, ensuring system safety and reliability. 8CLE-15E is a type of fuse, renowned for its excellent safety performance.

The 8CLE-15E fuse is a cartridge fuse with an 8mm diameter at the base. It is 15mm in length and has electrical contacts at both ends. The fuse is composed of a porcelain/glass tube filled with a high-temperature, slow-blow flame-retardant fusible material. The main application field of this fuse includes DC drives, electronics, power supplies, marine and industrial applications. It is also suitable for applications where a normal fuse would be too slow to respond.

The working principle of the 8CLE-15E fuse is simple and conventional. When the current rises above the fuse\'s rated value, the heat generated by the current will cause the fusible material to expand, affecting the gap between the two contacts at the two ends of the tube. The expansion of the fusible material will eventually break the gap, resulting in the interruption of the circuit. The time taken for this to happen is commonly known as the \'opening time\' and is determined mainly by the current rating of the fuse and the rate at which the material expands.

The 8CLE-15E is characterized by its excellent safety performance. It features a maximum breaking capacity of 10kA at 0.25 seconds and 85 kA at 5 seconds, withstanding up to 300V of working voltage. It is also designed to be fail-safe and have a high temperature resistance, meaning it can be used in areas requiring a higher degree of safety. The 8CLE-15E is UL/CSA approved and meets pertinent European standards, making it suitable for use in a variety of applications.

In summary, the 8CLE-15E fuse is an important part of the safety system for electrical circuits, providing protection in cases of high current. With its excellent safety performance and high temperature resistance, it is highly suitable for marine and industrial applications, as well as other areas where there is a need for extra protection. Its simple working principle and fail-safe design make it a trusty and reliable safeguard against potential hazards.
