Frequently Asked Questions
What does the aM characteristic mean?
The aM characteristic indicates that the fuse is designed specifically for motor circuit protection, allowing it to tolerate the high inrush currents typical of motor start-up while still interrupting short circuits quickly.
Can this fuse be used in DC circuits?
No, this fuse-link is rated for AC use only, as specified by its 380 V AC rating.
What is the purpose of the striker indication system?
The striker provides a mechanical indication of fuse operation and can be used to trigger remote signalling devices, enabling quick identification of blown fuses without direct inspection.
Is this fuse compatible with all 10x38 fuse holders?
It is compatible with IEC standard 10x38 fuse holders designed for aM characteristic fuses and clip mounting, but always verify holder specifications before installation.
