Its instant reaction design allows for rapid circuit disconnection, which is critical for preventing damage to delicate components. Manufactured in accordance with EN/IEC 60127-2 standards, it provides a trusted solution for professional electrical installations and maintenance tasks.

Suitable for

• Dimmers and lighting control systems
• Viking terminal blocks
• Emergency lighting units
• Electrical transformers
• General electronic circuit protection

When it may not be suitable

This fuse is not intended for use in high-voltage industrial power distribution systems exceeding 250V. It is also not suitable for applications requiring a current rating other than 2A, as using an incorrect amperage may lead to inadequate protection or nuisance tripping.

Key specifications

• Dimensions: 5x20mm
• Current rating: 2 Amps
• Voltage rating: 250 Volts
• Rupture capacity: 1500 Amps
• Body material: Ceramic
• Response type: Instant reaction

How to use

To install the fuse, ensure the power supply to the device or circuit is completely disconnected. Locate the fuse holder within your equipment, remove the old or damaged fuse, and insert the Legrand 010220 into the holder. Ensure the fuse is seated firmly before restoring power. If the fuse blows again immediately after replacement, inspect the circuit for underlying faults before attempting another installation.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify that the 2A current rating matches the requirements of your specific device.
• Ensure the physical dimensions of 5x20mm are compatible with your existing fuse holder.
• Check that the operating voltage of your equipment does not exceed 250V.

Usage recommendations

Always replace a blown fuse with one of the exact same type, dimensions, and electrical ratings to maintain safety standards and prevent potential fire hazards or equipment damage.
