The Schneider Electric 140CFU08000 is a dedicated fuse kit designed specifically for the Modicon Quantum series. This component provides essential overcurrent protection for sensitive control circuits, safeguarding valuable equipment from electrical faults. Its 0.8 A rated current and 250 V voltage rating make it suitable for a wide range of Quantum I/O and communication modules. Moreover, the kit includes all necessary components for straightforward replacement and maintenance. This fuse kit ensures system reliability and minimizes downtime, which is critical for continuous industrial operations.
The 140CFU08000 carries a rated current of 0.8 A, providing precise protection for low-power control circuits. Its voltage rating of 250 V accommodates standard industrial power supplies, while the maximum current handling capacity of 630 mA ensures compatibility with the module's specific requirements. This combination of ratings delivers effective protection against overcurrent conditions that could otherwise damage sensitive electronics. Additionally, the fuse characteristics align with Schneider Electric's original design specifications for Quantum systems.
This fuse kit operates within an ambient temperature range of 0 to 40 degrees Celsius, covering typical indoor control room environments. It tolerates a maximum operating humidity of 80% in non-condensing conditions, ensuring reliable performance in moderately humid environments. For storage, it meets the same 80% non-condensing humidity limit, preserving component integrity during inventory periods. Furthermore, the 140CFU08000 operates at altitudes up to 1000 meters above sea level without derating, accommodating installations across various geographic locations.
The Schneider Electric 140CFU08000 weighs approximately 1 kg, making it easy to handle during installation and replacement. Its compact dimensions—0.2 inches in height, 8.3 inches in length, and 5.5 inches in width—allow for convenient storage in spare parts cabinets. These physical characteristics make the kit practical for maintenance personnel to manage and transport.
This fuse kit comes complete with all necessary components for installation. It includes the main fuse element, appropriate mounting hardware, and any ancillary components required for proper fitment. The kit's design ensures that users have everything they need for a successful replacement, reducing the time spent sourcing individual parts. Always consult the installation documentation to confirm correct component selection and assembly.
Replacing a fuse using the 140CFU08000 kit follows a straightforward procedure. First, de-energize the affected Quantum module to ensure safety. Next, remove the existing fuse assembly from its holder. Install the new fuse element from the kit, ensuring proper orientation and seating. Finally, re-energize the system and verify normal operation. This simple process minimizes downtime and restores protection quickly.
Regular inspection of fuses is a key part of preventive maintenance. Visual checks for signs of damage or discoloration can indicate potential issues before they escalate. The 140CFU08000 kit provides a reliable replacement option when fuses blow due to faults or end-of-life conditions. Always keep spare kits on hand to minimize disruption during unscheduled maintenance events.
The 140CFU08000 meets Schneider Electric's stringent quality standards for Modicon Quantum accessories. While it does not carry specific UL or CSA approvals, its design conforms to the original equipment manufacturer's specifications. This ensures compatibility and reliable performance when used in Quantum systems. For installations requiring specific agency certifications, consult the relevant system-level documentation.

Q1: Which modules is the 140CFU08000 compatible with?
This fuse kit is designed for use with Modicon Quantum series modules that require a 0.8 A fuse. Always check your specific module's documentation to confirm compatibility.
Q2: Can I use a different amperage fuse in place of the 0.8 A rating?
No, using a fuse with a different current rating could compromise protection or cause nuisance tripping. The 140CFU08000 matches the original specification for optimal performance.
Q3: How do I know when the fuse needs replacement?
Visual inspection can reveal a blown fuse, often indicated by a broken filament or discoloration. In addition, module faults or loss of function may signal a blown fuse requiring replacement.
Q4: What is the shelf life of this fuse kit?
Stored in its original packaging within the specified humidity and temperature limits, the 140CFU08000 has an indefinite shelf life. Always inspect the components before installation.
Q5: Is this kit suitable for use in high-altitude installations?
Yes, the 140CFU08000 operates reliably at altitudes up to 1000 meters above sea level without any derating. For higher altitudes, consult the system documentation for potential limitations.
