Fuse protection (General Catalogue)

Product catalog summary
Overview
This document provides comprehensive information on various types of fuse links used for electrical protection, including cylindrical, Neozed, glass, and knife fuses. It covers their general characteristics, specifications, applications, and compliance with international standards.
General Characteristics
Fuses are designed to protect electrical circuits by interrupting dangerous currents. They utilize fusible melting strips and quartz sand to manage arcs, limit peak current, and protect equipment. Fuses are resistant to ageing and corrosion, with clear status indicators. All metal parts comply with RoHS2 requirements.
Time/Current Characteristics
  • gG Characteristic: General purpose for cable and conductor protection.
  • aM Characteristic: Motor and switchgear protection, adapted to motor starting currents.
  • uR Characteristic: Ultrarapid operation for semiconductor protection.
  • gPV Characteristic: Designed for photovoltaic protection with low DC overcurrents.
Safety and Reliability
Fuses ensure safety by not emitting gas, flames, or arcs during overcurrent clearing. They offer high reliability with no moving parts, preventing wear and nuisance tripping. Replacement restores original protection integrity.
Applications
Fuses are used in distribution panels, automation equipment, control panels, motor protection, capacitor banks, machinery, photovoltaic installations, and battery banks.
Fuse Types and Specifications
  • Cylindrical Fuses: Available in gG, aM, and gPV curves, with high breaking capacities and corrosion-resistant metal parts.
  • Neozed Fuses: Smaller than DIAZED, with lower power dissipation and rated voltage, suitable for low load protection.
  • Glass Fuses: Protect electronic boards from low overcurrents, with fast characteristics and a breaking capacity of L35A.
  • Knife Fuses NH: Designed for industrial protection with high breaking capacity and optimal selectivity.
Standards Compliance
Fuses comply with various international standards, including IEC 60269, VDE 0636, and UNE 21103, ensuring safety and reliability in electrical installations.
Product Ranges
The document details various ranges of fuseholders and bases, including:
  • Cylindrical Fuseholders: Available in sizes for 400V AC, 690V AC, and 1000V DC applications.
  • NH Fuse Bases: Offered in single and triple pole configurations, with high-pressure contacts and screw fixing options.
  • NH Switch Disconnectors: Available in single, triple, and four-pole sizes, with options for busbar mounting.
Design and Features
The modular design allows for easy installation on 45mm cut-out panels, with features like ergonomic handles, high insulation voltage ratings, and resistance to abnormal heat and fire. The products are designed for easy and quick DIN rail mounting and offer elevated vibration withstand capabilities.
Technical Specifications
The document provides detailed technical data, including:
  • Thermal ratings and fuse sizes for various configurations.
  • Derating tables based on ambient temperature and number of poles.
  • Rated current, power dissipation, and impulse withstand voltage for different sizes.
NH Fuse Bases and Switch Disconnectors
NH fuse bases are designed for applications requiring protection against short-circuit and overload conditions. They are available in single and triple-pole configurations, with features like panel fastening, screw connections, and reinforced polyester bases. NH fuse switch disconnectors offer high protection against short circuits and secure on-load circuit disconnection, with options for vertical or horizontal installation.
Accessories
The document lists various accessories, including isolating plates and extraction handles for NH fuse bases, designed to enhance the functionality and ease of use of the fuse systems.
Bus Bar Systems
The document provides technical specifications and details for bus bar systems and associated components, including dimensions, references, poles, current ratings, connection types, and weights. Key components include NH Fuse Switch Disconnectors and Fuse Bases, designed for direct installation onto bus bar systems.

Fuse protection Fuse links The fuse link is a component designed to cut off dangerous currents. It is attained by adapting fusible melting strips that divide the arc into several subarcs and cool them by means of the quartz sand. A limitation of the peak current is reached minimising electrodynamical load of the installation and protecting the equipment by limiting thermal let-through current. Time/current characteristics General characteristics gG characteristic General purpose cable and conductor protection. Corrosion resistant Fuse element dedicated alloy makes fuses specially resistant...
