39、s but also takes into account the specifications of the cartridge fuse-links according to IEC 60127-1 and IEC 60127-2. A connection between these two standards is made by adding (adapting) the fundamental specifications of cartridge fuse-links (rated current, rated voltage, maximum voltage drop and
40、maximum sustained power dissipation for cartridge fuse-links with the dimension of 5 mm 20 mm or 6,3 mm 32 mm with their different response characteristics) to the IEC 60947-7-1 requirements for terminal blocks. By this means, it is possible to judge the quality of the product “fuse terminal blocks”
41、. An important fact when using such cartridge fuse-links with fuse terminal blocks is that fuses heat up much less under rated load than they would do under overload conditions. The rated load is the result of rated current and maximum voltage drop. But there is a considerably increased power dissip
42、ation under overload conditions, equalling the maximum sustained power dissipation loss according to IEC 60127-2. In industrial applications, single fuse terminal blocks are used within an arrangement of terminal blocks or many of them forming an arrangement on their own. This means that the same cu
43、rrent and fuse-link will result in different heat emissions. Furthermore, it should be taken into account that apart from the general full range fuse (for overload and short-circuit protection), some fuse terminal blocks are exclusively used for short-circuit protection according to IEC 60364-4-43,
44、e.g. in control circuits, where no overloads occur (i.e. safety coils, indicator lights or similar equipment). Consequently there are four different types of application that need to be described in the catalogue or indicated on the fuse terminal block. For more information, see Annex B. BS EN 60947

46、e terminal blocks with screw-type or screwless-type clamping units for the connection of rigid (solid or stranded) or flexible copper conductors for the reception of cartridge fuse-links in accordance with IEC 60127-2, intended primarily for industrial or similar use in circuits not exceeding 1 000
47、V a.c., up to 1 000 Hz or 1 500 V d.c., and having a maximum short-circuit breaking capacity of 1 500 A. They are intended for installation in electrical equipment with enclosures which surround the fuse terminal blocks to such an extent that they are accessible only with the aid of a tool. For cert
48、ain applications, for example in control circuits, the fuse terminal blocks may be designed exclusively for short-circuit protection. NOTE This standard may be used as a guide for fuse terminal blocks for the reception of special cartridge fuse-links which do not meet the requirements of IEC 60127-2
49、. The object of this standard is to specify safety requirements and test methods for the mechanical, electrical and thermal characteristics of fuse terminal blocks, to ensure the compatibility between terminal blocks and standardized fuse-links. This standard may be used as a guide for fuse terminal blocks requiring the fixing of special devices to the conductors, for example quick connect terminations or wrapped connections, etc.; fuse terminal blocks
