The Eaton Cutler-Hammer FNM-20 is characterized as a low-voltage supplemental fuse. It is rated for a current of 20.0 A and operates at up to 250 VAC. The fuse's breaking rating is 10 kAIC at 250 volts AC, providing a robust defense against electrical faults. The design incorporates a dual-element, time-delay style to prevent nuisance tripping and allow for brief overload conditions.
For physical construction, the end cap is made from nickel-plated bronze, which adds to the component's longevity and resistance to corrosion. The FNM-20 does not feature an indicating mechanism and is identifiable by its green color code.
Connections are facilitated via ferrule ends, allowing for a straightforward installation process. It can be mounted using a holder or clip-in method, enhancing usability in various setups. The slow/time-delay speed characteristic is crucial for protecting inductive loads, such as small motors and transformers. This makes the FNM-20 well-suited for applications requiring reliable circuit protection while accommodating transient conditions.
