the wire to the connector. The barrel on each connector that is closest to the center of the fuse panel (barrel with a cap over it) is not used or accessed. The wire is inserted into the connector and the set screw is tightened down, compressing the wire. The set screw barrel connectors can accept up to #6 AWG copper wire.

1.5Output Voltage

The output voltage will be the same voltage as the applied input voltage when the fuse does not fail.

1.6Output Connectors

Each output circuit has two connectors through which the output power is accessed for connection to telecommunications equipment. The following types of output connectors are available:

Screw-down barrier terminal strip: Eight terminals with 6-32 screws are mounted in two barrier type terminal strips per bus (one strip for input and one strip for return). The terminals are on 0.375 inch (9.525 mm) centers with a maximum distance between barriers (maximum connecting terminal width) of 0.325 inch (8.255 mm). Terminals can accept #12 to #22 AWG copper wire with crimp-on spade lug or ring connectors or wires with the insulation stripped back.

Set screw barrel terminal strip: Eight barrel terminals are mounted in two set screw barrel terminal strips per bus (one strip for input and one strip for return). The terminals are on 0.197 inch (5.004 mm) centers. Terminals can accept #12 to #26 AWG copper wire with insulation stripped back.

1.7Chassis Ground Connection

Two #10 studs mounted on 0.625 inch (15.875 mm) centers are provided for grounding the fuse panel chassis. This chassis ground connection can be used to attach a separate grounding conductor when mounting the fuse panel in non-grounded or non-conducting material or when required by local practice. The studs can accommodate 2-hole lugs and up to #6 AWG wire.

Two crimp ring lug terminals for use with #10 AWG wire are enclosed with the fuse panel. The fuse panel can be properly grounded using only one grounding stud.

1.8Fuses

The fuse panel accommodates industry standard type 70 fuses with values from 0.02 Amp to

10.0Amps in any fuse position within the maximum capacity of the bus (total fuse load cannot exceed bus capacity). The maximum fuse value that can be used in each fuse position is 10.0 Amps which is marked on the front panel.

The type 70 fuse contains a colored indicator that designates the fuse value. When the fuse blows, the indicator extends out of the fuse to indicate that the fuse has blown. Fuse panels are shipped without fuses installed. Standard type 70 fuses are available from ADC.
