4、Electrical secondly, since under the conditions in which these fuse-links are intended to be used the prospective fault current is restricted, the breaking-capacity test is made at a prospective current that does not exceed ten times the rated current of the fuse-link. The primary object of the stan

5、dard is to specify cartridge fuse-links that experience has shown to be adequate for this class of service, without adding to their cost by requiring expensive proving tests. Moreover, since the cost of producing fuse-links giving a close degree of protection increases with the smaller currents, and

6、 critical protection is not always required within this range, two classes of fuse-link, Grades A and B, are specified, for rated currents of250ma and below, which will blow at two or three times their rated currents respectively. Fuses within the scope of this standard are not sensitive to normal e

7、lectromagnetic disturbances, and therefore no immunity tests are required. Significant electromagnetic disturbance generated by a fuse is limited to the instant of its operation. Provided that the maximum arc voltages during operation in the type test comply with the requirements of the clause in th

8、is standard specifying maximum arc voltage, the requirements for electromagnetic compatibility are deemed to be satisfied. A British Standard does not purport to include all the necessary provisions of a contract. Users of British Standards are responsible for their correct application. Compliance w

General 1 Scope This British Standard relates to non-rewirable cartridge fuse-links for use in conjunction with telecommunication or light electrical equipment where the

11、prospective fault current of the circuit will not exceed ten times the rated current of the fuse-link. Fuse-links of two grades, A and B, which will blow at two or three times their rated currents respectively, are specified for rated currents of250ma and below. The standard does not specify surge r

27、lowing clauses shall be type-tests. The fuse-links used for the type-tests shall be identical in all details likely to affect the performance with those to be used in service. Certificates of type-tests shall be deemed evidence of compliance of fuse-links with the requirements of the relevant clause

28、s of the standard and the manufacturer shall hold available such certificates, together with detail drawings of the fuse-links and a record of any alterations that have been made in the fuse-links subsequent to the type-tests. The manufacturer shall, if required by the purchaser, certify that the fu

29、se-links are identical in material and performance with those covered by a certificate of stated date. Type-tests may be made by the manufacturer, provided that he shall arrange for a recognized authority to make any type-tests for which he himself is not equipped. Six new fuse-link shall be used fo

30、r each test. Fuse-links shall be deemed to comply with this specification only if all that are tested pass the tests. The cartridge fuse-links shall be mounted for test vertically in a metal testing enclosure as shown in Figure 3, and shall be tested at an ambient temperature of1525 C. Connections s

31、hall be made with electric cable soldering tags of appropriate size to each terminal by not less than2ft of vulcanized rubber or P.V.C. covered cable of the following standard sizes: a) Minimum life test. Each fuse-link shall be capable of carrying its rated current for1000hours. The test shall be m

32、ade with not more than ten interruptions, and the current shall be held within the limits of per cent. This test may be carried out at any convenient voltage. b) Blowing-current test. The cartridge fuse-links shall blow within10seconds at their rated voltage and at twice their rated current for Grad

33、eA fuse-links, or at three times their rated current for Grade B fuse-links, immediately after having carried their rated current for not less than one minute and not more than ten minutes. The doubling or trebling of the current shall take place within one second. c) Test of breaking capacity. Cart

34、ridge fuse-links of up to and including2amp rated current shall be tested for breaking capacity by testing each fuse-link, in the enclosure shown in Figure 3, in a d.c. circuit, at the rated voltage of the fuse-link with a tolerance of5percent. Cartridge fuse-links of more than2amp rated current sha

35、ll be tested in an a.c. circuit having a power factor of any convenient value between0.8 lagging and1.0 at the rated alternating voltage of the fuse-link, with a tolerance of5per cent, and also in a d.c. circuit having a time constant not exceeding0.002sec at the rated d.c. voltage of the fuse-link

36、with a tolerance of 5per cent. The test circuit connections shall be as shown in Figure 4. The prospective current shall be ten times the rated current of the fuse-link. For fuse-links of up to and including2amp rated current six fuse-links shall be tested at their rated d.c. voltage. For fuse-links

37、 of more than2amp rated current six shall be tested at their rated d.c. voltage and six at their rated a.c. voltage. 11 Criteria of failure A fuse-link shall be deemed not to comply with this British Standard, if in any of the above tests one or more of the following are found to have occurred: a) T

38、he fuse-link has burst violently. b) The end-caps are externally damaged. c) The fuse-link “x” has blown, indicating arcing to the metal enclosure. (See Figure 4.)

40、able for comparing the surge-resisting characteristics of small telecommunication cartridge fuse-links having a rated current up to and including1amp. The operation of the apparatus is as follows: S is a change-over switch arranged to operate at60second intervals and so constructed that one set of c

41、ontacts opens a fraction of a second before the other closes. When Contact1 closes, a surge of current whose peak value is controlled by the value of R and whose exponential decay is controlled by CR, flows through the fuse-link. The CR product is maintained at ten milliseconds and the values of C a

42、nd R are adjusted to produce the required peak current. The time constant of ten milliseconds is chosen because it represents an average of conditions commonly occurring in practice in domestic radio and television equipment. C 1 , the final smoothing capacitor of the d.c. supply unit, has a value o

43、f at least ten times that of C to maintain the supply voltage sensibly constant during the current surge. After Contact1 has opened, Contact2 closes and discharges C ready for the next operation. The discharging surge can conveniently be used to operate a relay and counter system which of course, automatically stops when the fuse-link “blows”. It is recommended that the fuse-link should be subjected to1000 operations.
