Frequently Asked Questions
What does the aM characteristic mean for this fuse?
The aM characteristic indicates that the fuse is designed for motor circuit protection, allowing for short-time current surges typical of motor starting without nuisance tripping, while providing reliable protection against overloads and short circuits.
How does the visual indicator work?
The visual indicator changes appearance when the fuse element has blown, providing a clear and immediate indication that the fuse needs replacement, which helps reduce troubleshooting time.
Can this fuse be used in DC circuits?
No, this fuse is rated for AC applications up to 500V and is not suitable for DC circuits.
What is the significance of the 120 kA breaking capacity?
The 120 kA breaking capacity means the fuse can safely interrupt fault currents up to 120,000 amperes without damage, ensuring protection of the electrical system during severe short circuit events.
