Frequently Asked Questions
What does the aM characteristic mean for this fuse?
The aM characteristic indicates that the fuse is designed for motor protection, providing selective tripping to allow for the motor's starting current without nuisance blowing while still protecting against short circuits and overloads.
Can this fuse be used in DC circuits?
No, the FR10AM40V12P is rated for AC use at 400 V only and should not be used in DC circuits.
How does the striker indication system work?
The striker indication system provides a mechanical signal when the fuse has blown, which can trigger remote monitoring devices or provide a visual indication for quick fault identification.
Is the fuse suitable for high breaking capacity requirements?
Yes, this fuse has a breaking capacity of 100 kA at 400 V AC, suitable for demanding industrial applications.
