FPS series

FPS series

Product catalog summary
Overview: The document provides technical specifications and operational details for the FRIZLEN DC-Powerswitch, a protective device for DC circuits. It is designed to safeguard resistors from overload and short circuits, ensuring reliable operation and preventing damage from overheating.
Specifications:
  • Overload protection with short circuit handling up to 5 kA for 1 ms.
  • Rated current range from 1.0 to 40 A, suitable for DC1 applications up to 850 V DC.
  • Designed for installation in switch cabinets or terminal boxes of FRIZLEN power resistors.
  • Includes signal contact for fault reporting.
Functionality: The DC-Powerswitch protects integrated resistors from constant overload and short-term peak power issues, such as those caused by operational faults or short-circuited chopper transistors. It provides reliable disconnection to prevent environmental damage from overheating.
Connection Details:
  • Fine stranded connection with maximum AWG ratings depending on the rated current.
  • Auxiliary current connection up to AWG 14.
Contact Ratings:
  • 5 A at 24 VDC (DC11)
  • 10 A at 230 VAC (AC11)
Adjustment Ranges: The device offers 10 adjustment ranges, reacting to thermal overload and electromagnetic short circuits. The adjustment ranges are specified for different FPS types, from FPS 1.6 to FPS 40, covering various current capacities.
Registration: The design is patented in Germany and registered under UL1077 with E357442.
Important Note: Ensure correct polarity when connecting the device to avoid operational issues.

FPS series-1

Accessory Type series FPS FRIZLEN DC-POWERSWITCH. Adjustable protection of loads at DC voltage up to 850 V. Loads with a rated current from 1,0 up to 40 A can be connected. The tripping device and the characteristics are similar to motor-circuit switches. 10 ranges of adjustment are available. The DC-Powerswitch reacts on thermal overload, also electromagnetically on short circuit and on the multiple of the rated current. Registration: German patented design no. 20 2009 015 851.9 UL registration according to UL1077 with E357442 Electrical and mechanical data overload protection short circuit up to 5 kA, 1ms re-switchable 1,0 - 40 A rated current, DC1 up to 850 V DC for installation into a switch cabinet or a terminal box of a FRIZLEN power resistor for intrinsically safe resistors with signal contact Attention: Please pay attention for connecting the correct polarity! FPS 1.6 – 25 These overload switches are developed to protect the integrated resistors from constant overload and from too high short time peak power, e.g. caused by a false operational mode or a fault by an short circuited chopper transistor. This option for protection signals not only the hardware fault, it switches off the object / the resistor absolutely reliable! Possible damage in the environment through overheating and burning are effectively avoided. The actual fault is reported over potential free N/O and N/C contacts. After a successful fault clearance the DCPowerswitch can be switched on like a normal automatic fuse. Intrinsically safe resistors through FRIZLEN DC-POWERSWITCH Adjustment range A-value from up to 25 32 32 40 Connection cross section Contact ratings of the signal contact: upper setting value (OE) magnetical fast release lower setting value (UE) upper setting value (OE) magnetical fast release lower setting value (UE) Fine stranded Rated current max.
