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 berglass 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.
1) Cut the Positive cable based on the desired location of the Class “T” Fuse Block using wire cutters.
2) 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.
3) «Insert the bare ends of the cable into the hole for the cable entry and tighten the screw
down terminals rmly. 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.
