JCL-18R

A fuse is a device that utilizes a short-circuiting contact between two conducting objects to interrupt an electric circuit, thereby preventing an overload or a short circuit from causing damage to electrical appliances or components. The JCL-18R fuse is an innovative electrical safety device that can identify and protect numerous high-tech applications in a variety of industries.

The JCL-18R fuse is a three-pole, single-phase, electrical fuse with a voltage rating of 18A and a breaking capacity of 10kA. It provides a total protection solution for both overload and short-circuit protection on any single-phase circuit. The JCL-18R fuse has a dual-microswitch design suitable for a variety of electrical environments, for instance; AC motors, refrigerators, air conditioners, and other commercial/industrial applications.

The JCL-18R fuse is designed to function as an emergency shut-off switch under two conditions. First, in case of an overload, the JCL-18R will trip at a specific current level and shut off power to the device it is protecting. This helps prevent any loss of power that could be caused by an overload. Second, in the event of a short circuit, the JCL-18R fuse trips to help protect the device from potentially catastrophic damage.

The JCL-18R fuse operates on simple yet effective principles. Being a thermal-magnetic fuse, it has a bimetallic strip that senses temperature changes when the current exceeds the rated load of the fuse. When the predetermined limit is exceeded, the strip bends and breaks the connection of the device it is protecting. Similarly, the magnetic element of the fuse will detect when the current approaches at a rapid rate and shut off the power supply. This dual system ensures full protection for a wide variety of applications.

The JCL-18R also features a mechanical indicator in the form of a ‘flag’ that is designed to show when the fuse is tripped. This provides an indication that the fuse is no longer in a live condition, and thusly helps to reduce any downtime to machines or applications it is protecting. Additionally, the JCL-18R comes with a wide variety of mounting options and accessories, offering further flexibility, ease-of-use, and protection to users.

The JCL-18R fuse is a reliable device that provides total protection for numerous applications. Its thermal-magnetic design offers dual protection against both overloads and short circuits, while a mechanical indicator helps to quickly diagnose faults and minimize downtime. Additionally, its wide range of mounting options ensures users have the flexibility needed for any specific application.
