Frequently Asked Questions
What does the aR characteristic mean for this fuse?
The aR (partial range) characteristic means the fuse is designed to protect power semiconductors by limiting the current during short-circuit faults, providing high-speed interruption while allowing certain overload conditions without blowing.
Can this fuse be used in DC applications?
No, this fuse is rated specifically for AC applications as indicated by its specifications. Using it in DC circuits may not provide adequate protection.
How does the striker indication system work?
The striker is a mechanical indicator that activates when the fuse blows, allowing remote signalling devices to detect fuse status for maintenance and safety purposes.
Is this fuse compliant with international standards?
Yes, it meets IEC and UL standards for voltage and current ratings, ensuring it is suitable for global industrial use.
