APPLICATION NOTES
1 Expulsion fuse link’s current ratings should be selected on the basis of maximum expected transient
no-damage currents rather than on full-load current. In addition, the selection of higher current
ratings will reduce the possibility of supply interruption due to transient surges such as those due to
lightning strikes.
2 Links should be handled with a reasonable degree of care when installing. Excessively rough
handling may damage the element.
3 It is normal, under certain fault conditions, for arc extinguishing material and/or metal particles to be
expelled from the fuse assembly. It is therefore recommended that reasonable precautions be taken
to prevent the installation being approached by unauthorised persons.
