Frequently Asked Questions
What does the 'aM' characteristic mean?
The 'aM' characteristic indicates that the fuse is a motor protection fuse-link designed to protect against short-circuits while allowing the motor's normal starting current without nuisance tripping.
Can this fuse be used in DC circuits?
No, this fuse-link is rated for AC use only, as indicated by the 'AC or DC' specification.
What is the purpose of the striker indication system?
The striker provides a mechanical signal when the fuse operates, enabling remote fault indication to quickly identify blown fuses and reduce downtime.
Is this fuse-link suitable for high breaking capacity requirements?
Yes, it has a maximum breaking capacity of 100 kA, suitable for most industrial applications.
