Description / Abstract:
INTRODUCTION
The standard for fuse terminal blocks covers not only the terminal block requirements but also takes into account the specifications of the cartridge fuse-links according to IEC 60127-1 and IEC 60127-2. A connection between these two standards is made by adding (adapting) the fundamental specifications of cartridge fuse-links (rated current, rated voltage, maximum voltage drop and maximum sustained power dissipation for cartridge fuse-links with the dimension of 5 mm × 20 mm or 6,3 mm × 32 mm with their different response characteristics) to the IEC 60947-7-1 requirements for terminal blocks. By this means, it is possible to judge the quality of the product “fuse terminal blocks”.
An important fact when using such cartridge fuse-links with fuse terminal blocks is that fuses heat up much less under rated load than they would do under overload conditions. The rated load is the result of rated current and maximum voltage drop. But there is a considerably increased power dissipation under overload conditions, equalling the maximum sustained power dissipation loss according to IEC 60127-2.
In industrial applications, single fuse terminal blocks are used within an arrangement of terminal blocks or many of them forming an arrangement on their own. This means that the same current and fuse-link will result in different heat emissions. Furthermore, it should be taken into account that apart from the general full range fuse (for overload and short-circuit protection), some fuse terminal blocks are exclusively used for short-circuit protection according to IEC 60364-4-43, e.g. in control circuits, where no overloads occur (i.e. safety coils, indicator lights or similar equipment).
Consequently there are four different types of application that need to be described in the catalogue or indicated on the terminal block. For more information, see annex B.
