TPC-15

Electrical, Specialty Fuses

TPC-15 fuses are used in various applications, ranging from industrial process control, to HVAC systems, to power distribution in residential, commercial, and industrial settings. TPC-15 fuses are designed to provide short-circuit protection and overcurrent protection under normal and fault conditions. They are UL Listed, CE certified, and ISO 9001 compliant.

TPC-15 fuses are available in both class K5 and class RK5 ratings. Class K5 fuses provide low-current, fast-acting protection, while Class RK5 fuses provide higher-current, time-delay protection. Class RK5 fuses are available with different time-delay characteristics, allowing the user to choose the best protection.

TPC-15 fuses feature a high-temperature rated ceramic body, which provides excellent heat dissipation and is capable of withstanding temperatures up to 662°F (350°C). The fuse also features a nickel-plated stainless steel endcap, which provides excellent corrosion resistance. The endcap is designed to ensure an easy installation and a secure fuse-to-holder connection.

The working principle of the TPC-15 fuse is as follows: when the current in a circuit exceeds the rated value of the fuse, the high-temperature ceramic body begins to heat up. This causes the nickel-plated endcap to bend, which in turn causes the fuse element to open, breaking the circuit and preventing further rise in current. The time delay settings of the class RK5 fuses ensure that the circuit is not overly disrupted in the case of momentary overloads or short circuits.

In summary, the TPC-15 fuse is designed to provide reliable short-circuit and overcurrent protection in residential, commercial, and industrial settings. Its high-temperature ceramic body and nickel-plated stainless steel endcap ensure a secure and reliable installation and excellent protection. Its class K5 and class RK5 ratings provide varying levels of protection, allowing the user to choose the best protection for their application.
