Product Variants & Selection Guide

 

Operating Class Selection
GG type: Full-range protection for cables and general circuits (overload + short-circuit)
AM type: Motor circuit protection with short-circuit protection only (requires external overload protection)
AR type: High-speed protection for power electronics and high fault current limitation


Current Selection Guide (Typical Engineering Practice)
1A–6A: Control circuits, signal and auxiliary protection
10A–20A: Motor circuits and inductive load systems
25A–32A: Power distribution and higher load circuits


Selection Considerations
Fuse rated voltage must match or exceed system voltage
Breaking capacity must meet or exceed available short-circuit current
Coordination with upstream protection devices is required for selective tripping design
