FAQs
Follow standard panel installation practices: mount the disconnect in a rated enclosure, align with the panel cutout, and secure the ferrule-end wiring to the designated terminals. The unit measures 16 in depth, 9 in height, and 11.5 in width, and weighs 27 lb, which informs support and mounting provisions. Ensure power is de-energized, observe UL Listed safety requirements, and use compatible ferrule terminations with approved conductors for reliable service and safe isolation during HVAC maintenance.
Key electrical specifications are 500 V AC maximum and 30 A current capacity, with interrupting ratings of 100 kAIC on AC and 50 kAIC on DC. The unit is non-indicating and fast-acting, which means it interrupts fault currents quickly to minimize arc energy. It is designed for HVAC loads and is compatible with Bussmann series F60 fuses to complete a protection scheme. These ratings guide fuse selection, panel design, and coordination with upstream protection devices, ensuring reliable operation under fault conditions while meeting code requirements.
UL Listed indicates compliance with recognized safety standards for electrical disconnect devices in many markets, but the data provided does not specify CE or IP ratings. For installations in regions requiring CE marking or IP protection, validate with project specifications and consider enclosure ratings or alternative product variants that carry the required certifications. Always follow local code requirements and manufacturer installation instructions.
Ferrule-end terminals simplify field wiring, improve termination reliability, and pair with Bussmann F60 fuses for a cohesive protection scheme. This combination supports quick fault interruption, reduces wiring errors, and aligns with common HVAC protection architectures in commercial systems. The design also facilitates straightforward BOM management and reliable serviceability during routine maintenance and fault repair.
The unit provides a 16 inch depth, 9 inch height, and 11.5 inch width, with a shipping weight of 27 pounds. This compact footprint fits standard service panels and supports durable, robust field installation for HVAC protection. Plan mounting brackets and clearance accordingly to ensure safe operation and easy access for testing, wiring, and maintenance.
