Question: Ok if the FACP feeds the fuse cut out anf the FCO feeds a panel what is the load side of the FCO? It is the conduit/wire from the FCO to the panel I would assume.
Yes, the load side of the Fire Alarm Control Panel (FACP) Power Supply Fuse Cut-Off (FCO) is the conduit/wire that connects the FCO to the electrical panel or distribution board.The FCO is a safety device installed to protect the wiring and equipment downstream from it in the event of a short circuit or overload. When the FCO trips, it interrupts the flow of electricity to the load side, preventing damage to the connected devices.In this scenario, the FCO is connected to the FACP and provides power to an electrical panel or distribution board. The load side of the FCO thus refers to the electrical conductors that carry the power from the FCO to the panel, and the equipment and devices connected to that panel. Flag for review
