Description
Technical Specifications
According to standard industrial fusing tables (such as IS: 9926), a single strand of 20 SWG tinned copper wire typically performs as follows:
-
Approx. Fusing Current: ~70 Amps. This is the peak current where the wire will melt to break the circuit.
-
Safe Current Rating: 32 Amps to 34 Amps. It is most commonly used as the fusing element in 32A Kit-Kat style porcelain fuse carriers.
-
Resistance at 20°C: Approximately 0.0293 to 0.0311 $\Omega/m$.
-
Material: High-conductivity copper with a tin coating, which prevents oxidation and ensures low-resistance contact over time.
Common Applications
-
32A Ring Main Circuits: Often used to protect a group of standard wall sockets in large residential or commercial properties.
-
Medium-Sized Motors: Protection for industrial equipment that requires a higher startup current.
-
Main Switchboards: Frequently utilized in distribution panels for sub-mains in smaller apartment blocks.
