samlex CFB1-200 Class T Fuse Blocks
INTRODUCTION
The CFB1-200 and the CFB2-400 are fuse blocks with a 200A and 400A Class T fuse. The assembly is designed for surface mounting and incorporates a screw down terminal for cable termination.
These fuse blocks should be installed as close to the battery on the positive side (in a positive system) to limit injury and damage caused by a short circuit of the positive side of the battery.
CONSTRUCTION
The Class T Fuse Block (Fig. 1) contains the following components:
-
Fuse Holder: A fiberglass insulated base with a removable polycarbonate cover
-
Class T Type Fuse: 200A or 400A Fuse (JLLN or equivalent); 20 k Interrupting Capacity (DC)
CFB1-200 comes with a 200A Fuse.
CFB2-400 comes with a 400A Fuse. -
A CFB1 will not support a 400A Fuse and the CFB2 will not support a 200A Fuse
INSTALLATION
Selecting a Location: The fuse assembly should be installed as close to the positive terminal of the battery as possible. Less than 6 to 8 inches is recommended to allow for adequate protection as well as space for cable and terminations. Any short circuit that occurs between the fuse and the battery remains unprotected by the fuse.
Maximum Cable Size: The diameter of the hole in the screw down terminal for the cable entry is 0.6″ and is large enough for an AWG #4/0 stranded cable.
- Cut the Positive cable based on the desired location of the Class “T” Fuse Block using wire cutters.
- Strip 1.05″ of the insulation at the cut ends using a stripper. Ensure that the innermost layer of the tape separator is completely removed. See Fig. 3.
- «Insert the bare ends of the cable into the hole for the cable entry and tighten the screw down terminals firmly. Attach the clear polycarbonate snap on cover. See Fig. 4.
Installation Tip: It is common that the ends of the strands towards the cut face of the cable get bent / frayed / spread outwards during cutting and thereby, the diameter of the cable near the cut face may increase slightly. To keep the strands towards the front pressed together for easier installation into the terminal, tightly warp insulation tape around 0.2″ to 0.3″ from the cut face. If required, straighten and compress the bent / frayed / spread out ends to reduce the diameter to the minimum. Now insert the leading 0.2″ to 0.3″ bare portion into the hole. Once this leading portion has entered the hole, remove the insulating tape and insert the bare end of the cable fully.

Caution!
Ensure that all the strands get inserted into the hole and that no
strand(s)are left forced out of the hole.
