MDL-15/100

MDL-15/100 Application Field and Working Principle

The MDL-15/100 is an air-blast fuse with an ampere rating of 15/100 (15 amps at 100 volts). This fuse is designed for use in industrial and commercial applications for protecting circuits from overload and short circuit conditions. The fuses feature a positive-opening action and quick response time.

Mode of Operation

When a short circuit or over-load occurs, the internal arc gap of the MDL-15/100 melts due to the fact that it cannot withstand the current and releases the fuse element. This causes the fuse element to be sheared off and the circuit is opened. The tripping time of the MDL-15/100 is quite short and typically ranges between 0.6 to 1.5 seconds.

Application Field

The MDL-15/100 is suitable for use in locations where a fast-acting device is required. These locations include motor circuits, battery chargers, welding equipment, industrial motor controls, and similar applications. The fuses are also well-suited for use in circuit protection devices, replacing Class J fuses with faster response time.

Advantages of the MDL-15/100

• The MDL-15/100 offers fast response time and high interrupting ratings.
• The fuses are small in size and easy to install.
• The MDL-15/100 is UL listed and offers superior quality and performance.

Conclusion

The MDL-15/100 fuse is a reliable and fast-acting fuse for use in a variety of industrial and commercial applications. This device provides protection from over- and under-load conditions, as well as short circuit conditions. The MDL-15/100 offers quick response time and is UL listed for superior performance.
