People Electric · Knife Contact Fuse Link
Product overview
People Electric RDF16 fuse links provide general-purpose full-range overload and short-circuit protection for industrial AC distribution. Their knife contacts fit the corresponding fuse base. Select the physical size and actual fuse-link current together, and confirm the voltage and fault-duty rating for the exact ordered link.
Technical selection summary
| Manufacturer / series | Original People Electric RDF16 |
|---|---|
| Utilization category | gG, general-purpose full-range protection |
| Main circuit | AC500V or AC690V; 50Hz |
| Size 00 fuse-link currents | 16, 20, 25, 32, 40, 50, 63, 80, 100, 125, 160A |
| Size 1 fuse-link currents | 80, 100, 125, 160, 200, 250A |
| Size 2 fuse-link currents | 125, 160, 200, 250, 300, 315, 400A |
| Size 3 fuse-link currents | 315, 400, 500, 630A |
| Fuse size / maximum current | 00: 160A; 1: 250A; 2: 400A; 3: 630A. The base size is not a substitute for the selected link current. |
| Breaking capacity | Confirm the exact size/current/voltage nameplate and certificate. The series technical table leaves its breaking-capacity column blank; a single pictured link rating must not be applied to all configurations. |
| Maximum power-consumption values in main table | Size 00: 12W; 1: 23W; 2: 34W; 3: 48W. Refer to the separate current-specific loss schedule in the original catalogue for thermal design. |
| Construction | Powder-filled cartridge, knife-contact terminals and fusing indicator; optional striker version and corresponding base require confirmation |
| Fuse-link dimensions A/B/C/D/E/F/G (mm) | 00: 78.5/54/29/48/6/60/15; 1: 135/70/48/48/6/62/20; 2: 150/70/60/60/6/72/25; 3: 150/70/67/68/6/82/32. Match these letters to the original drawing. |
| Installation conditions | Altitude ≤2,000m; -5 to +40°C, 24-hour average ≤35°C; installation category III. Confirm any conditions outside the original catalogue. |
| Standards stated | GB 13539.1-2008 / IEC 60269-1:2006; GB/T 13539.2-2008 / IEC 60269-2:2006 |
This listing covers fuse links in the size/current combinations explicitly tabulated up to 630A. A base or extraction handle shown in the gallery is a separately specified component, not automatically included. Confirm the exact breaking capacity and applicable fault-duty certificate before final order. Do not use a lower system voltage to assume the indicator or striker will operate identically.
Typical applications
- General-purpose overload and short-circuit protection in AC industrial distribution.
- Replacement fuse links requiring an exact knife-contact size, voltage and current match.
