Recommended fuse sizes for group installation
A group installation is a configuration in which one fuse is intended to provide protection for more
than one drive. In this case, the fuse acts as BCP (Branch Circuit Protection) device for multiple
drives. VACON
®
20 X is suitable for motor group installation on a circuit capable of delivering not
more than 50,000 rms symmetrical amperes, 500 V max, when protected by Class J or T fuses.
VACON
®
20 X is approved for group installation by UL provided the fuse in the main branch circuit
is a 60 A class T or J fuse (300V or 600V AC maximum according to the drive rating).
It is possible to choose any combination of AC drives, but you have to pay attention that the total cur-
rent does not open the fuses in normal operation.
Example:
Eight MU2 type 0003 4 with input current 3.2 A (3.2*8=25.6 A) and one MU3 type 0016 4 with input
current 20 A have total input current: 25.6+20=45.6 A.
