    Hello, what does this inscription mean on the three-phase protection "B20"

    ABCs are reaction rates and the numbers are the amperage it can withstand

    these 20A means that a current of 20A can flow through each phase and the protection ni will break?

    It means that 20A can flow for a long time, because, for example, 25A can flow a few minutes, then the fuse blows. while the letter B means that this fuse will blow in less than 0.2 seconds if a current of at least 2.5 to 3.5 times greater than 20 A, i.e. 50A, flows through it.
    greetings

    behind it, the fuse blows
    Markings "A '," B "," C "probably only apply to automatic fuses of the" S "type and they do not burn out, they just turn off!

    Hello
    The ABC and D markings refer to the fuse's characteristics and for other types it has different fuse markings, probably g or somehow. And the fact that the power switch turns off and does not burn out is right, but this is not what someone asked here, wanting to be a kionkretnym, the s -ka is not a fuse but a circuit breaker.

    Well, what is it? I don't think it's a light switch at home! It protects the circuit?

    The fact that the S-ka protects the circuit does not mean that it is supposed to be a fuse by name. S-ka is a redundant switch. In the power industry, circuit breakers are used to break short circuits and somehow no one calls them fuses ...

    Buddy "MENEK" - "Fuse", as the name suggests, protects the circuit. If the "s-ka", as you wrote, protects the circuit, it is logical to think that it is a fuse and that someone does not call him that, it is his business!

    I use SUCH a three-phase system to turn off the fan in the cold store.

    Dude marian1981.02, each fuse is a protection, but not every protection is a fuse, otherwise a balcony railing or belts in the car also had to be fuses, and these are only security.

    Buddy "mksm" Do not write nonsense about some barriers because we are probably talking about electricity, don't give me any stupid comparisons here and do not make a fool of someone! the same functions, but they are more convenient!

    A colleague "mksm" wrote very well - not all the devices they protect are fuses. It is commonly called this way fuse-links, and then the name changed to redundant circuit-breakers, but it does not mean that the name "fuse" is correct for popular components. If it were so, it would be a "differential" in a home installation and a MV low-oil circuit breaker, they would also have to be fuses.
    Even the author of the topic used the word "protection", not "fuse" ...

    Menek-Then write me a definition of what in your opinion is a fuse and what is a circuit breaker?
  • #15 2804846

    fuse - an element that serves only to interrupt excess and short-circuit currents.
    circuit breaker with redundant protection (eg S) - an element that enables switching on and off the circuit and automatically switches off excess and short-circuit currents.

    And what is the conclusion? As I wrote earlier that the function is the same! Only that the machine is reusable (not one-time) and you can additionally use it as a switch.

    I fully agree that the function is the same. As for the definition of a fuse: everything is clear with a fuse, but an automatic fuse is e.g. a polymer fuse (multifuse). All devices that disconnect short-circuit and overload currents that can be manually controlled are circuit breakers.

    Everyone calls himself what he wants! Switch-because you can turn off, Fuse because it protects the circuit-and this is his main task.

    Well, gentlemen, you are dwelling on the definition, and this is not what the questioner meant. I admit that I am also curious about the markings on the fuses. And to make it easier, maybe let's separate the fuses from the S's.

    I greet all concerned.

    FR circuit breakers should be used.

Topic summary

The inscription "B20" on three-phase protection devices indicates that the device can handle a continuous current of 20A per phase. The "B" classification signifies that the fuse will trip in less than 0.2 seconds if the current exceeds 50A, which is 2.5 to 3.5 times the rated current. The discussion also differentiates between fuses and circuit breakers, noting that while both serve to protect circuits, circuit breakers (like the "S" type) can be reset and are not consumed like traditional fuses. The conversation highlights the importance of understanding these markings for proper electrical protection and safety.
