Description
Part Number: 341-100315-02:
- Fuse Type: Fast-acting
- Rated Current: 16A
- I²T Rating: 260
The I²T rating, which stands for current squared through time, is an important parameter that indicates the fuse’s ability to withstand short-duration overcurrents. In practical terms, it serves to protect sensitive components like motors from overheating due to excessive currents during operation.
Additionally, the fuse melting time is specified as follows:
- Melting time at 17A: 2.77 hours
- Melting time at 55A: 0.1 seconds
These values indicate how quickly the fuse will melt and interrupt the circuit under different levels of current overload. For instance, at a higher current of 55A, the fuse will melt and interrupt the circuit in just 0.1 seconds, providing rapid protection against potentially damaging overcurrent events.
To connect the Cisco MDS 9396S switch to DS-CAC-1200W:
- Use dedicated branch circuits for each power supply.
- Size circuits according to local codes.
- Ensure grounding-type receptacles are used.
- Connect grounding conductors to protective earth ground.
- Follow international standards for circuit sizing.
- Consider professional installation for safety and compliance
