Fuse protection for 24 V DC circuits – Overview
Fuse protection
A 24 V DC control voltage has become the standard in the
automation industry. Selective fuse protection is often used
when the power is being supplied by PLC-guided controllers.
It divides the total load into separate, logically connected
safety circuits. For example, the CPU, actuators and sensors
can be separated in the load circuits. This selective load
protection helps to decrease facility downtime and also to
simplify troubleshooting. When a disruption (short circuit)
occurs on a standard protective system, the entire power
supply is interrupted. In a system using selective fuse
protection, only the fuse in the one disrupted load circuit is
triggered. If the fuse is triggered quick enough so that other
loads (and particularly the CPU) can continue functioning
properly, then various control algorithms can be used to
deal with the disruption. It is then possible to shut down the
facility in an orderly and controlled fashion.
C
A fundamental problem when using ordinary fuses is
that they take a relatively long time to trigger. Usually, a
C.2
switched-mode power supply is already well over the surgecurrent limit (typically 120 % of Inom) before its fuse triggers.
Ordinary fuses are therefore not suitable for constructing a
selective fuse protective system. Such systems present DC
fuses with special challenges. They must be able to switch
off quickly enough but they must also be able to tolerate the
start-up surge currents from consumer loads. Weidmüller‘s
electronic fuses, from our established WAVEGUARD line,
are the answer to both of these challenges: they are quick
acting but can also tolerate start-up currents. You can easily
implement selective load protection using our WAVEGUARD
models.
In addition, Weidmüller‘s electronic fuses feature a floating
alarm contact and a reset input. This allows a PLC controller
to query the status of the fuse or to perform an automated
reset after troubleshooting. This provides you with a
convenient method for remotely maintaining a complex
facility. As a result, you save both time and money.

Resetting
The WAVEGUARD family can be reset manually or by using
an external signal. They can be reset remotely by simply
applying a 24 V signal pulse on the reset input. The reset
occurs on the falling edge of the signal.
Note: A cyclical automatic reset is not permitted and can
lead to a malfunction.

Signalling
A red LED displays when the electronic fuse has been
triggered. An alert is also sent out over a floating alarm
contact. A green LED signals that the unit is switched on.
The alarm contact uses an NC contact.
