Features
- True dual-element fuses with a minimum 10 second time-delay at 500% overload.
- Long time-delay minimizes needless fuse openings due to temporary overloads and transient surges.
- Can often be sized for back-up protection against motor burnout from overload or single-phasing if other overload protective devices fail.
- High interrupting rating to safely interrupt overcurrents up to 300kA (self certified).
- High degree of current limitation due to the fast speed-of-response to short-circuits.
- Faster response to damaging short-circuit currents than mechanical overcurrent protective devices.
- Reduces let-through thermal and magnetic forces in order to protect low withstand rated components.
- Proper sizing provides “No Damage” Type “2” coordinated protection for NEMA and IEC motor control in accordance with IEC Standard 947-4-1.
- Dual-element fuses have lower resistance than ordinary fuses so they run cooler.
- Lower watts loss reduces power consumption.
- Unique dimensions assure that another class of fuse with a lesser voltage rating, interrupting rating or current-limiting ability cannot be substituted.
- Space-saving package for equipment down sizing
