Frequently Asked Questions
What does the 'aR' characteristic mean for this fuse?
The 'aR' characteristic indicates a high-speed semiconductor fuse designed to protect power semiconductors by interrupting fault currents rapidly, preventing damage to sensitive components.
Can this fuse be used in DC applications?
No, this fuse is specified for AC applications only, as indicated in the technical specifications.
How does the striker indication system work?
The striker indication system provides a mechanical visual signal by releasing a striker when the fuse operates, allowing quick identification of a blown fuse without disassembly.
Is this fuse suitable for use in outdoor environments?
While the fuse has a robust ceramic body, suitability for outdoor use depends on the enclosure and environmental protection of the installation. Consult the system design specifications for outdoor applications.
