The article DF2FA50 from Schneider Electric is a
fuse of the TeSys series, specifically designed for fuse-disconnector devices of the TeSys GS type. It is a
NFC fuse insert with a cylindrical shape and dimensions of 22 mm x 58 mm, classified as an
aM fuse. This fuse protects exclusively against magnetic overcurrents, making it particularly suitable for
motor protection. The rated current is
50 A, and the maximum operational rated voltage is
690 V AC. The fuse does not feature any indication, such as a striker pin, to visually signal a failure. The delivery is provided as a
set of 10 pieces.
Applications
The fuse DF2FA50 is intended for use in industrial installations, particularly in control panels where motor protection is required. It is used in TeSys GS series disconnector switches to ensure protection of electrical components in case of short-circuit currents or other magnetic overloads. Its use in systems with high operating voltages up to 690 V AC makes it suitable for medium to high power requirements.
Functions and Equipment in Detail
The fuse is designed as an
aM fuse, meaning it primarily protects against magnetic overcurrents, such as short circuits. It is not designed for protection against thermal overloads, as it lacks a thermal tripping function. The cylindrical shape with dimensions 22 mm x 58 mm corresponds to the
NFC type, a standard format for fuse inserts in industrial switching devices. The fuse is delivered in a set of 10 units, which is practical for replacement needs in industrial installations.
Technology Explained Simply
The designation
aM stands for automatically magnetic and describes the tripping characteristic of the fuse. In the event of a sudden increase in current, such as during a short circuit, the fuse element melts quickly to interrupt the circuit. The fuse is not designed for protection against slow overloads, as it does not exhibit any thermal response. The operational rated voltage of
690 V AC means the fuse is designed for alternating voltages up to this value. The cylindrical shape with dimensions 22 mm x 58 mm allows for easy installation in standardized fuse holders.
Compatibility and Accessories
The fuse DF2FA50 is specifically developed for use in
TeSys GS disconnector switches. It is compatible with the fuse holders of this series and can be directly inserted into the designated holders. Use in other switching devices is not intended, as the dimensions and electrical ratings are specifically matched to the TeSys GS series.
Mounting and Installation
Mounting is done by simply inserting the fuse into the designated holders of the disconnector switch. No additional mounting equipment or tools are required. The fuse is designed to fit securely in the holder and ensure a reliable electrical contact. Installation typically occurs during maintenance or when replacing a blown fuse.
Advantages in Operation
The fuse DF2FA50 provides reliable protection against short circuits in motors and other electrical installations. The packaging in sets of 10 pieces simplifies replacement needs and reduces inventory costs. Use in TeSys GS switches ensures high compatibility and reliability in industrial applications. The simple handling and clear marking of technical data facilitate selection and replacement.
The warranty is 18 months, underscoring the reliability of the product. The fuse is designed for use in industrial environments where high electrical loads and secure power supply are required.
