FAQs

The FWH-300A supports blade end x blade end connections as well as stud mounting, providing installation flexibility for different panel designs. Blade-end configurations simplify drop-in replacement in existing fuse blocks, while stud mounting offers rigid support for secure, vibration-resistant installation in enclosures. This versatility helps reduce retrofit time and carpentering costs in spare-part handling.
FWH-300A is rated for 1000 Vac and 800 Vdc, with a continuous amperage rating of 300 A RMS. It provides an interrupt rating of 200 kAIC at 1000 Vac and 50 kAIC at 500 Vdc, allowing it to safely clear high-energy faults. The device also has watt losses of 51 W, and a non-indicating design for simple panel integration.
Yes. With high-speed interrupt capability and broad AC/DC voltage ratings, the FWH-300A is well suited for protecting motor drives, drivesets, and related control circuits. Its robust interrupt ratings help prevent fault propagation to downstream equipment, while the blade end and stud mounting options support straightforward installation in motor control centers and drive panels.
The FWH-300A carries UL Recognized and CSA Certified marks, is CE Marked, and RoHS Compliant. These certifications confirm safety, reliability, and environmental compliance for widespread regulatory acceptance, enabling procurement across multinational sites and simplifying documentation for audits and supplier qualifications.
The FWH-300A provides a measurable return on investment through reduced downtime from fast fault clearing, lower arc energy impact, and reliable protection for critical line gear. Its standardized dimensions and mounting options minimize installation time, while compliance reduces regulatory risks and streamlines cross-site deployments, contributing to lower total cost of ownership.
