The new Littelfuse Class H blocks offer many advantages over previous generations that are noted in the features and benefits section. Class H and Class R fuse blocks are dimensionally the same, but Class R blocks incorporate a rejection feature, which only allows Class R fuses to be inserted.Frequently Asked Questions
What are the UL and CSA certifications for these fuse blocks?
All fuse blocks meet UL 4248 requirements, are UL listed (guide IZLT, File E52283), UL recognized component (guide IZLT2, file E52283), and CSA certified (class 6225, File 32169).
What voltage and amperage ratings are available for these fuse blocks?
These fuse blocks are rated for 250VAC/DC and 600VAC/DC, with amperage ratings of 30A, 60A, 100A, 200A, 400A, and 600A.
Which Class R fuses are recommended for 250V and 600V blocks?
For 250V Class R blocks, use A2D-R, A2K-R, or TR-R fuses. For 600V Class R blocks, use A6D-R, A6K-R, or TRS-R fuses.
Which Class H & K fuses are recommended for 250V and 600V blocks?
For 250V Class H & K blocks, use OT, RF, A2Y types 1 & 3, OTN, CRN, or NRN fuses. For 600V, use OTS, RFS, A6Y types 1 & 3, CRS, or NRS fuses.
What are the SCCR ratings for these fuse blocks?
SCCR ratings vary by fuse class: 10kA with Class H fuses, 50kA with Class K fuses, and 200kA with Class R fuses.
What are the fuse clips made of and what types are available?
All fuse clips are made of high-conductivity tin-plated copper. Spring-reinforced or non-spring-reinforced clips are available for 30A and 60A, while 100A and above have spring-reinforced clips.
Are there specific fuse blocks for copper wires only?
Yes, some fuse blocks are specifically designed with copper box connectors and clips for copper wires only, ensuring compatibility with copper wire's coefficient of expansion.
What are the insulator materials used in these fuse blocks?
Insulators are made from molded glass-filled polycarbonate (GFPC) or phenolic, with dielectric strength exceeding 2500V.
What is the recommended mounting screw size for 100A and 200A fuse blocks?
For 100A fuse blocks, use 1/4" (.250" dia.) screws. For 200A, 1-pole blocks use #10 (.190" dia.), and for 200A, 3-pole blocks use 5/16" (.313" dia.).
What types of wire can be used with these fuse blocks?
The fuse blocks accommodate a range of stranded or solid copper or aluminum wire, depending on the specific model and connector type.
