FAQs
XS20 is designed for direct installation into BS88 rated holders. Ensure the holder matches the 27x80 mm format, align the fuse cartridge with the holder contacts, and secure with the standard retention method. Verify the panel wiring is de-energized before insertion to prevent arcing. This approach minimizes commissioning time and reduces risk during retrofit projects.
XS20 is rated at 20 A and AC 440 V, suitable for general-purpose protection in control panels, feeders, and small motor circuits. Use it where BS88 compliance and IEC 60269 standardization are required, ensuring proper coordination with upstream protective devices to prevent nuisance trips and maintain system reliability.
Yes. With a 20 A rating at 440 V AC and BS88 IEC 60269 classification, XS20 offers reliable protection for motor feeders and control circuits while supporting safe disconnection during faults. Confirm coordination with line protection and ensure enclosure clearance and heat dissipation meet your motor protection requirements.
XS20 carries CE marking, RoHS compliance, BS88, IEC 60269, and EAC certifications. These approvals confirm conformance to European directives, environmental standards, and international fuse standards, reducing regulatory risk when supplying machinery across multiple regions and simplifying supplier qualification for audits.
XS20 standardization reduces stocking variety with BS88 sizing, simplifying procurement and decreasing spare-part diversity. Its clear labeling and compact form factor speed replacements, lowering downtime during maintenance. Over time, predictable performance and regulator-aligned certifications help minimize compliance-related delays and support a faster ROI.
