7.1 Fuses
F1 & F2 - see the example circuit diagram.
F1
Supply Fuses:
Supply fuses are not fitted internally unless the furnace is also fitted with a supply cable; when
fitted they are of GEC Safeclip of the type shown.
Customers should fuse at the rating shown.
F2
Control Fuses: 2 Amp type F 30mm x 6mm
Thyristor Fuse:
Ferraz Protistor of the rating shown. Note that, unlike most fuses, protistor fuses
are correctly rated at a higher current than the thyristor they are protecting.
7.2 Power Control
The setting for the power limit parameter in the controller (
OP.Hi
) should be 100% for all models.
The thyristor stacks are set to the secondary (element) maximum currents given in the table.
