The new fuse plugs in the Series 2006 for through terminals and protective-conductor terminals enable the protection of control circuits, because the function and wiring levels are separated with no assembly required. For the user, this means:
- no additional cost for assembly and wiring
- no risk of accidental contact with live parts during disconnection of fuse plug
- in case of exchanging a defective fuse the fuse plug is completely separated from the base terminal block
- therefore safe exchange of the fuse away from current carrying parts
- the fuse plug can be removed by the maintenance person, which prevents unintentional reclosing of the circuit by another person
- quick exchange of a fuse by using a prepared “stand-by plug.”
- The following features of the fuse plug ensure quick and safe use:
- optional LED indicates blown fuse
- marking facility on the fuse plug for clear coordination to the correct carrier terminal block (WSB-Quick Marking System 4 mm/0.157 in)
- two touchproof test slots
- high density with only 7.5 mm / 0.30 in width of terminal block/fuse plug, fuse plug width 7.4 (10.4) mm / 0.29 (.41) in.
- instead of a fuse, a shorting link may be used as a disconnect plug.
