Datasheet - FNQ-30
Feature → Business Impact → Application: The FWH-450A delivers a very high interrupt rating (up to 200 kAIC at 1000 Vac and 50 kAIC at 500 Vdc), enabling rapid fault isolation in large feeders and motor drives. This reduces arc flash risk, protects valuable equipment, and lowers maintenance costs in demanding automation lines. Application: Ideal for 750 Vac / 750 Vdc power circuits in industrial facilities requiring robust protection with minimal downtime. Feature → Business Impact → Application: With blade-end x blade-end connections and stud mounting, installation is flexible and panel-friendly, reducing cabinet depth and assembly time. Application: Suitable for retrofit projects and new builds where quick swap-outs and secure mounting are critical for uptime. Feature → Business Impact → Application: Watt losses of 74 W support thermal stability and energy efficiency inside control panels, helping maintain stable temperatures and prolong component life. Application: Applies to compact enclosures in automated lines where space and heat management matter. Feature → Business Impact → Application: Certifications including UL Recognized, CSA Certified, and CE RoHS compliance ensure regulatory alignment across global sites, easing procurement and supplier audits. Application: Essential for OEMs and integrators delivering equipment to markets with strict compliance requirements. Feature → Business Impact → Application: The 450 A RMS rating handles heavy-duty loads without frequent fuse replacements, reducing spare parts inventory and maintenance cycles. Application: Suitable for drives and feeders powering high-current loads in manufacturing environments.
