FAQs
BG3013PQ uses pressure plate and quick-connect terminations to simplify field wiring. Plan for secure conductor insertion, verify conductor sizes within the 0.18-15 A amperage range, and ensure compatible insulation and conductor rating for 600 V systems. Use correct torque-free insertion guidance and verify ongoing contact integrity during maintenance to prevent arcing.
Yes. The BG3013PQ is a three-pole open fuse block rated for 600 V, making it suitable for three-phase protection in industrial panels. Its 0.18-15 A range allows tuning to protect circuit paths without oversizing components, while the 100 kAIC short-circuit rating provides robust protection against high-energy faults in typical manufacturing environments.
BG3013PQ provides a 100 kAIC short-circuit rating, indicating it can safely interrupt high-energy fault currents typical of industrial power distribution. This reduces damage to upstream equipment, improves safety margins for personnel, and supports more reliable panel operation in demanding applications such as automated lines and material handling systems.
BG3013PQ is UL Recognized, CSA Certified, and RoHS compliant. UL Recognized indicates conformance to safety standards for protection devices, CSA Certified confirms Canadian compliance, and RoHS ensures restricted hazardous substances are controlled. These certifications simplify audits, support global deployments, and align with sustainability goals in regulated industries.
The combination of quick-connect terminations and a compact three-pole form factor reduces wiring time and field labor, cutting commissioning and maintenance costs. Its standardized ratings (600 V, 100 kAIC) and RoHS/UL/CSA compliance streamline procurement and enable reuse across multiple panel builds, delivering faster ROI and greater design flexibility in automation projects.
