Square D PQ3610G fusible bus plug is used to connect electrical equipment to a power source through a busway system. Its fusible design incorporates fuses that protect the connected equipment from overcurrents and short circuits, enhancing safety and preventing potential damage.
Working Mechanism:
- Installed in distribution panels, the bus plug connects to bus bars carrying power.
- Fitted with fuses, the unit safeguards against overcurrent situations.
- Fuses melt during overcurrent events, breaking the circuit swiftly.
- Fuses have heat-sensitive elements that melt with excessive current, causing an open circuit.
- Melting fuses halt the current flow, preventing damage and ensuring safety.
Features:
- Square D PQ3610G fusible bus plug has current ratings of 100 A of current and handles a maximum voltage of 600 V AC.
- It has a 3-pole configuration for managing three-phase electrical systems.
- This fusible bus plug has a plug-in style for easy installation and has a Class H fuse to provide robust protection against overcurrent situations.
- It has an arc-quenching mechanism that rapidly suppresses and extinguishes arcs, minimising potential damage and downtime in the event of a fault.
- This fusible bus plug is equipped with a remote tripping feature, enabling operators to disconnect power from a distance in emergency situations, enhancing safety and accessibility.
Frequently Asked Questions:
Q. What is a fusible bus plug, and how does it differ from a non-fusible one?
A. Fusible bus plug is an electrical device that combines power distribution with overcurrent protection using fuses. Unlike non-fusible bus plugs, which lack built-in fuses, fusible ones offer added protection against overcurrent situations.
Q. Can I use the fusible bus plug with variable frequency drives (VFDs)?
A. Yes, the fusible bus plug can be used in conjunction with variable frequency drives, ensuring protection for systems with varying load conditions.
