Permitted Overloads
In many applications, surges occur during the normal duty
of equipment and under such permitted overloads, the fuse
must not open.
For permitted overloads lasting longer than a few minutes,
the fuse current rating should be selected based on the
overload current. The current rating of the fuse should
exceed the overload current.
APPLICATION
For infrequent normal overloads, fuse selection can be
made on the basis of an overload curve of not more than
