UTILIZATION CATEGORIES (TYPES) FOR FUSE-LINKS
IEC60269 and EN60269 standards comprise several utilization categories for fuse-links.
Designation of these categories are formed by two parts, first letter states the breaking range of fuse-link:
“
g
” Full range: Protection against overload and short-circuit.
“
a
” Partial range: Protection only against short-circuit.
OVERLOAD
This situation is produced when the current is slightly higher
than the “normal” current.
A typical case is when in a house we connect too much
electric devices (heaters, washing machine, dryer, etc) and
then protection operates due to the power
overload
.
SHORT-CIRCUIT
Occurs when the current is much higher than the normal
current (hundreds or thousands times higher).
This defect is produced when there is a contact between two
active parts of different potential that in normal condition
should be isolated.
Typical case could be when two conductors have a damage
in the insulation and there is a contact between them,
producing a
short-circuit
.
Second part of designation state the application of this type of fuse-link:
“G” General use
“M” Motors (or similar loads)
“R” Semiconductor protection (optimized for low I
2
t values)
“S” Semiconductor protection (optimized for low power loss)
“TR” Protection of low voltage side in distribution transformers
“PV” Photovoltaic systems
“B” Mining installations
Combining two parts, we get several categories:
Example:
gG
Protection against overload and short-circuit, general use.
aM
Protection against short-circuit in motor circuits.
aR
Protection against short-circuit for semiconductors
gR
Protection against overload and short-circuit for semiconductors (low I
2
t)
gS
Protection against overload and short-circuit for semiconductors (low power loss)
gPV
Protection against overload and short-circuit for photovoltaic systems
gTR
Protection against overload and short-circuit for distribution transformers
gB
Protection against overload and short-circuit for mining installations
Some time ago there were others types for general use (
gL
,
gF
,
gI, gII
) that have been replaced by
gG
.
gG
Breaking range:
“g”
Protection against
overload and short-circuit.
Application:
“G”
