FAQs
RDF800L-2 is designed for use in electrical protection and control panels requiring high-current isolation. It supports front-handle operation for convenient manual disconnection and fits standard panel assemblies in motor control centers and switchgear configurations. When mounting, ensure clearance for front accessibility and adequate ventilation, and follow manufacturer torque and spec guidelines to maintain safe operation and reliable fuse protection.
The RDF800L-2 is rated for 800A with a voltage rating of 600 Vac and 600 Vdc, providing a robust path to interrupt fault currents in both AC and DC applications. This makes it suitable for demanding industrial loads, including large-motor circuits and feeder lines, while maintaining controlled fault energy during disconnection.
Yes. The RDF800L-2 is purpose-built for inclusion in motor control centers (MCCs) and switchgear assemblies where high-current isolation and reliable disconnection are critical. Its fused design enhances protection against short circuits, while front-access operation simplifies maintenance workflows and minimizes downtime in busy plant environments.
The datasheet specifies RoHS compliance, aligning with restricted substances regulations and sustainability goals. There are no listed CE, SIL, or IP certifications in the provided documentation. Customers should verify regional regulatory requirements for their specific installation or project needs.
Maintenance benefits come from a durable fused design and front handle operation, which reduces maintenance time and operator error. The high-current capability minimizes the need for frequent replacements in demanding lines, contributing to lower lifecycle costs. ROI is realized through improved uptime, safer maintenance procedures, and easier integration into existing electrical protection schemes.
