6.3. Thyristor protection fuses
The thyristors in the 7100A power thyristor unit are protected against excess currents by a high-speed
fuse (for all load types other than short wave infrared elements).
For current ratings
≤
100 A the fuse is external.
Important!
To use high-speed fuses with short wave infrared elements, please contact your
Eurotherm office.
Danger!
High-speed fuses do not provide protection for the installation. Upline protection must be
fitted (non-high-speed fuses, circuit breakers, cut-outs).
The product code specifies whether or not a fuse is present.
With the FUSE or MSFU (micro switch fuse) codes, a fuse and fuse holder assembly (corresponding to
the current rating) is supplied with the product.
• for
code FUSE
, the fuse is not fitted with a striker bar.
• for
code MSFU
, the fuse has a striker bar and the fuse holder is fitted with a blown fuse
microswitch.
If the user does not order a thyristor protection fuse or if a short wave infrared load is used, no fuse
is supplied (
code NONE
).
