Fusing the Mains Connection

General

This data is only valid for fusing the mains connection of each Lexium 62 Power Supply module:

  • Protect the power supply against any short-circuit and overload using appropriate measures.

  • Set the overload protection depending on the permanent current of the device:

    • Lexium 62 Power Supply (LXM62PD84A11000) maximum of 40 A (3-phase),

    • Lexium 62 Power Supply (LXM62PD20A11000) maximum of 10 A (3-phase).

NOTE: The opening of the branch-circuit protective device (fuses in the case of UL conformance, or any circuit breaker) may be an indication that an invalid condition has been interrupted. To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock, current-carrying parts and other components of the system should be examined and replaced if damaged. If burnout of the current element of an overload relay occurs, the complete overload relay must be replaced. In any and all cases, determine the source of the opening of the branch-circuit protection before re-applying power to the system.
 DANGER
FIRE, ELECTRIC SHOCK OR ARC FLASH
Examine and replace if necessary any current-carrying parts or other motor control components in the case of mains- or branch-circuit protection activation.
Failure to follow these instructions will result in death or serious injury.

Suitable Combinations
