Semiconductor (AC) fuses

Protistor Square-body Fuses
®
PSC aR sizes 3x - 450V to 700 VAC
Curves set

Size 2x33

Cut-off characteristics
Below, right: Curves indicating for each rated
current the peak value I that the current may

reach as a function of the prospective fault
current I .

Time-current characteristics
Size
Above, left: Curves indicating pre-arcing time for
2 x 33
each rated current as a function of RMS value of
pre-arcing current I.
- Tolerances on this current ± 8 %.
- Beyond 30 sec or 10 sec, small overloads must be
eliminated by another device.
- Curve CC’ represents the maximum times taken by
the associated device to clear small overloads; only
its horizontal line is represented. Its oblique line
must be plotted according to sketch, top right
corner.
- The intersection of the fuse and CC’ curves
indicates the minimum breaking current Ipm of the
fuse.
