Frequently Asked Questions
What does the aR speed/characteristic mean?
aR stands for partial-range high-speed fuse characteristic, designed specifically for semiconductor protection by rapidly clearing short circuit faults while allowing normal overload conditions.
Can this fuse be used in DC applications?
No, this fuse is rated for AC applications only, as indicated by the AC or DC specification.
How does the striker indication system work?
The striker indication system provides a mechanical visual signal by releasing a striker when the fuse operates, enabling quick identification of a blown fuse without disassembly.
What is the breaking capacity of this fuse?
The fuse has a maximum breaking capacity of 150 kA at rated voltage, ensuring safe interruption of high fault currents.
