The available electrical reference confirms a 10 A breaker capacity for the FANUC R-30iB Mate Plus controller associated with the LR Mate 200iD. It does not independently establish the required rating of an external disconnect. Treat those as separate specifications and confirm the disconnect against the controller documentation and installed equipment markings.

Do Not Substitute Breaker Capacity for Disconnect Rating

The stated 10 A value applies to breaker capacity. The evidence does not provide the controller input voltage, phase topology, branch-circuit requirements, disconnect utilization rating, enclosure requirements, or applicable installation rules. Without those details, the 10 A breaker capacity alone cannot determine the complete external disconnect specification.

Read the controller nameplate and the applicable R-30iB Mate Plus electrical or controller maintenance documentation. Select the disconnect only after confirming that its electrical and installation ratings satisfy the documented controller supply requirements and the governing requirements for the installation.

Apply Electrical and Control Isolation

  1. Block or release stored energy before beginning work.
  2. Isolate remote control signals so an external command cannot initiate operation.
  3. Do not remove mechanical components as a substitute for energy isolation.

After isolation, verify the controller cannot be energized or commanded remotely before accessing the equipment. If the installed controller identification differs from R-30iB Mate Plus, do not apply the cited 10 A value until the correct documentation confirms it.

Verify the Installed Configuration

Record the robot model, controller model, nameplate supply data, installed breaker marking, and proposed disconnect ratings. Resolve any mismatch between the installed equipment and the cited controller documentation through FANUC's official documentation or support channel before selecting or replacing the disconnect.

FAQ

What is the breaker capacity for a FANUC LR Mate 200iD?

The cited R-30iB Mate Plus controller maintenance documentation identifies a breaker capacity of 10 A. Confirm that the installed controller is the same model before using this value.

Can I use a 10 A disconnect for an R-30iB Mate Plus controller?

The evidence confirms 10 A breaker capacity, not the complete external disconnect rating. Verify the controller nameplate, supply characteristics, installation requirements, and disconnect ratings before selection.

What must be isolated before servicing an LR Mate 200iD?

Block or release stored energy and isolate remote control signals before work begins. Do not remove mechanical components as a substitute for proper isolation.
