Overview
Fuses for use by authorized persons are generally designed to be used in installations where the fuse-links are accessible to, and may be replaced by, authorized persons only. Fuses for use by authorized persons according to the following fuse systems shall also comply with the requirements of IEC 60269-1 unless otherwise defined in this standard. This standard is divided into fuse systems, each dealing with a specific example of standardized fuses for use by authorized persons. Fuse system A: Fuses with fuse-links with blade contacts (NH fuse system) Fuse system B: Fuses with striker fuse-links with blade contacts (NH fuse system) Fuse system C: Fuse-rails (NH fuse system) Fuse system D: Fuse-bases for busbar mounting (NH fuse system) Fuse system E: Fuses with fuse-links for bolted connections (BS bolted fuse system) Fuse system F: Fuses with fuse-links having cylindrical contact caps (NF cylindrical fuse system) Fuse system G: Fuses with fuse-links with offset blade contacts (BS clip-in fuse-system) Fuse system H: Fuses with fuse-links having "gD" and "gN" characteristic (Class J and class L time delay and non time delay fuse types) Fuse system I: gU fuse-links with wedge tightening contacts Fuse system J: Fuses with fuse-links having "gD class CC" and "gN class CC" characteristics (class CC time delay and non-time delay fuse types), - Fuse system K: gK fuse-links with blade for bolted connections - High fuse-link ratings from 1 250 A up to 4 800 A (master fuse-links) The afore-mentioned fuse systems are standardized systems in respect to their safety aspects. The National Committees may select from the examples of standardized fuses one or more systems for their national standards. The responsible committee is DKE/UK 541.1 "Sicherungen und Schalter-Sicherungseinheiten" ("Fuses and fuse-combination units") of the DKE (German Commission for Electrical, Electronic and Information Technologies) at DIN and VDE.
