What is a DNH9 Fused Disconnect?

What is the Difference Between Fused and Non-Fused Disconnect Switches?

Two primary disconnect switch designs are fusible and non-fusible. As the name suggests, fused disconnect switches are worked with fuses to protect against overcurrent and short circuits.

By comparison, a non-fusible disconnect switch does not prevent short circuits, it simply turns current on or off. Non-fused disconnect switches are only recommended for power systems with fault currents that are less than 5kA or dedicated fuses upstream of the safety switch.

Fused Disconnect Applications

Fused and Non Fused Disconnect Switches are commonly used in the power distribution systems and industrial equipments applications. In a power distribution system, disconnect switches and circuit breakers are used to turn off power in a specific area or to switch from one power source to another in case of an emergency.

In industrial applications, a Fused Disconnect switch can be used to interrupt power to machines and motors when there is a safety hazard or maintenance is required. In fact, many national electrical systems are mandated to utilize electrical disconnect switches in all industrial and manufacturing facilities.

How does a Fused Disconnect Work?

Fused Disconnect Switch and Non-fused Disconnect Switch Disconnector work in conjunction with MCCCB or MCB circuit breakers, which interrupt the current flow in the electrical circuit when the current exceeds the capacity of the circuit. Fused Disconnect Switches can work on AC or DC systems, as well as on single-phase and three-phase power supplies.

Fused Disconnect Switches have many different poles and ampere. Such as GRL DNH9 Fused Disconnect Switch, rated current max 160A. This type of Fused Disconnect has a combined body.

It can be assembled 1P, 2P, 3P, 4P, we can choose pole quantity according to the service electric equipment quantities. For example, the GRL DNH1 type fused disconnect switch is the 3P body, it has 160A,250A, 400A, 630A. We can choose the switch’s rated current according to incoming circuit capacity.

When is a Fused Disconnect Switch required?

Fused disconnect switches usually work well in circuits with extremely high currents, because the fuse guarantees that the circuit will disconnect in the event of a problem. Most modern circuit breakers can be used for the same purpose and for the same applications except for high current situations.
