Basic Electrical Table

Memento important: The FI model is derated to 500V DC. Do not use FI for DC bus >500V; use F version only. For AC operation, both versions have identical characteristics, I²t and time-current curves.

Time-Current (T-C) Characteristic Notes (Fișa cu date 720026)

Curves shown are nominal melt curves for aR fuses:

1. Almost no operation under low-magnitude overload: aR is designed exclusively for semiconductor short-circuit protection, not conventional overload protection. Melting time is extremely long at 1.6×In (40O), so it cannot be relied on for overload protection.
2. Short-circuit region (aproximativ. 10×În): Fast current-limiting melting with low I²t to protect IGBT/SCR. This is its intended operating range.
3. Reference melt points (shared by FWP-25A22F / FI):

100O: Melting time ~10ms

250O: Melting time ~1ms

>500O: Sub-millisecond current-limiting operation

Curve feature: The T-C curve of aR fuse is very steep. It operates extremely fast under large short-circuit current while tolerating low multiple overloads for a long time.

The original T-C diagram is log-log plotted. F and FI of the same current rating share identical melt curves; differences are limited to DC voltage rating and striker construction.

I²t Correction Rule (Mandatory for Semiconductor I²t Coordination Check)

The 530 A²·s value above is total clearing I²t under 700V AC, factor de putere 0.15.

When operating voltage is lower than 700V AC, actual total clearing I²t reduces, multiplied by correction factor K:

Eg=700Vac → K=1.0

Eg=600Vac → K≈0.82

Eg=480Vac → K≈0.64

DC I²t verification cannot directly reuse AC I²t values. Separate DC curve check is required, especially for FI limited to 500Vdc.

Striker FI Wiring & Fuse Holder Description

JM70100 has two configurations:

1. Standard JM70100: For F version only, no microswitch
2. JM70100 + microswitch module: For FI version. Striker triggers microswitch, typically 1NO+1NC for PLC alarm or trip interlock.

⚠️ The striker provides only a mechanical alarm signal. It does not change fuse protection characteristics or increase breaking capacity.

FWP-25A22F vs FWP-25A22FI Application Selection Table

Coordonare & Ghid de înlocuire (Engineering Reference)

1. Semiconductor protection check sequence: Device withstand I²t ≥ fuse corrected total clearing I²t
2. Do not replace with gG general-purpose fuses; gG has much higher I²t and may destroy IGBTs.
3. Domestic replacement must satisfy three criteria: 22×58mm size, aR class, 700Vdc rating (if DC circuit), and I²t close to 530. Many domestic aR fuses are only rated 500Vdc and cannot directly substitute F version.
4. Temperature derating: 25A rating is based on 25℃ ambient temperature. Derate to 0.85In typically for 40℃ cabinet ambient.
