Frequently Asked Questions
What does the aR characteristic mean?
The aR characteristic indicates a partial-range semiconductor fuse designed to protect power semiconductors by clearing short-circuit faults quickly without affecting normal operation.
Is this fuse suitable for DC applications?
While rated for 250V DC, this fuse is primarily designed for AC applications. Please consult technical support for specific DC circuit requirements.
How does the striker indication system work?
The integrated striker provides a mechanical indication by triggering when the fuse element melts, allowing easy visual or mechanical detection of a blown fuse.
Can this fuse be used in motor control panels?
Yes, its high breaking capacity and fast-acting characteristics make it suitable for protecting motor control circuits against short circuits.
