Selection Guide

Choosing the right RT18 fuse for your application involves considering several key factors:

1. Voltage Rating

Select a fuse with a voltage rating equal to or greater than your system’s nominal voltage. The RT18 series offers options for AC400V, AC500V, and 690V systems.

2. Current Rating

Determine the maximum normal operating current of your circuit and select a fuse with an appropriate rating. Remember that fuses should be sized according to circuit conductor capacity and load requirements.

3. Breaking Capacity

Ensure the fuse’s breaking capacity (100kA for RT18 series) exceeds the maximum prospective short-circuit current at the point of installation.

4. Protection Class

Choose the appropriate protection class based on your application:

• gL/gG: For general conductor and cable protection
• aM: For motor circuit protection
• aR: For semiconductor protection

5. Physical Size

Select the appropriate physical dimensions based on your installation constraints and fuse holder requirements.

Lignes directrices pour l'installation

For optimal performance and safety, follow these installation guidelines when using RT18 fuses:
