Selection Notes
- Interrupting capability is 100 A — confirm the circuit's prospective fault current stays below this.
- Fast element suits resistive and semiconductor loads rather than motors with high inrush.
- Because it opens within milliseconds, downstream semiconductors see less let-through energy.
- Glass body lets you inspect the element after a fault.
- Best kept for lower fault-current circuits where visual diagnosis matters.
- Working voltage must stay at or below 250 Vac; a lower-rated part is not a safe substitute.
- Do not upsize beyond 3 A to stop nuisance trips — fix the cause instead.
Typical Applications
Engineers usually specify it for these duties:
- EV
- lighting
- LED driver
Part Number and Packing
Order code C518-3-R from Eaton, supplied in 5 x 15 mm glass tube, nickel-plated brass end caps, axial leads, optional fluoropolymer sleeve. Confirm the exact suffix before release.
Q&A
What are the ratings of the C518-3-R?
3 A continuous at 250 Vac, interrupting rating 100 A.
Is the C518-3-R fast-acting or time-delay?
It is fast-acting. Expect it to open quickly on overload.
Can the C518-3-R be used on a higher fault-current circuit?
No — its interrupting rating is 100 A. Choose a part whose breaking capacity exceeds the prospective fault current.
