National foreword
This Section of this Part of BS 88 has been prepared under the direction of the Power Electrical Engineering Standards
Coiilmittee. Together with Section 2.2 : 1988 ‘Additional requirements for fuses with fuse-links for bolted connections’,
it sdpersedes BS 88 : Part 2 : 1975 which is withdrawn. It is identical with IEC Publication 269-2 ‘Low-voltage fuses’
Part 2 : 1986 ‘Supplementary requirements for fuses for use by authorized persons (fuses mainly for industrial
application)’, published by the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC).
in 1995 the European Committee for Electrotechnicd Standardization (CENELEC)
accepted IEC 269-2 : 1986 as European Standard EN 60269-2 : 1995. As a consequence
‘of implementing the European Standard this British Standard is renumbered as
BS EN 66269-2 : 1995 but retaining ‘BS 88 : Section 2.1 : 1988’ as a secondary
reference number. Any reference to BS 88 : Section 2.1 : 1988 should be read as a - _.-
reference to BS EN 60269-2 : 1995.

Terminology and conventions

The text of the international standard has been approved as suitable for publication as a British Standard without deviation.
Some terminology and certain conventions aie not identical with those used in British Standards: attention is drawn
especially to the following.
The comma has been used as a decimal marker. In British Standards it is current practice t o use a full point on the
baseline as the decimal marker.
Wherever page numbers are quoted, they are IEC page numbers.

Part 2. Specification for fuses for use by authorized persons (mainly for industrial application)
Section 2.1 Supplementary requirements

EXPLANATORY
NOTE

In view of the fact that this standard should be read together with IEC Publication 269-1: Low-voltage
fuses, Part 1: General Requirements, the numbering of its clauses and sub-clauses corresponds to the
latter. Regarding the tables, their numbering also corresponds to that of IEC Publication 269-1;
however, when additional tables appear, they are referred to by capital letters, for example, Table A,
Table B, etc.

1. General
Fuses for use by authorized persons* shall comply with all the requirements of IEC Publication
269-1, unless otherwise indicated hereinafter, and shall also comply with the supplementary
requirements laid down below.
Note. - If fuses that are designed for use by authorizedpersons are intended to be used by unskilled persons they should also
comply with the requirements of IEC Publication 269-3: Low-voltage Fuses. Supplementary Requirements for
Fuses for Use by Unskilled Persons (in preparation).

1.1 Scope
These supplementary requirements apply to fuses for use by authorized persons.

Fuses for use by authorized persons are generally designed to be used in instaliations where the
fuse-links are accessible to, and may be replaced by, authorized persons oniy.

1.2 Object
The following characteristics of fuses are specified in addition to I E C Publication 269-1:

- minimum rated breaking capacities;

- time-current characteristics;
- f2tcharacteristics;
- standard conditions of construction;
- power dissipation and acceptance.

4. Classificaîíon
Fuses for use by authorized persons are classified by the fuse-system to which they belong.

Examples of standardized fuses for use by authorized persons are given in I E C Publication
269-2-1: Low-voltage Fuses, Part 2-1: Examples of Types of Standardized Fuses for Use by
Authorized Persons (in preparation).

- Time-current characteristics for “aM” fuse-links. The standard limits for time-current charac-
teristics based on reference ambient air temperature of 20 “C are given in Table A and Figure 1,
page 14. The standardized k-factors are: ko = 1.5, k,= 4 and k, = 6.3.

- Rated breaking capacities (see IEC Publication 269-1, Sub-clause 5.7.2).

7.2 Insulating properties

This requirement is covered by Sub-clause 7.2 of IEC Publication 269-1. The values are at
present under consideration.

7.6 Cut-off current characterktic

Noie. - For the cut-off current characteristic as a function of the actual pre-arcing time, see Appendix C of IEC Publi-
cation 269-1.

7.7 Z’t characteristics

For “gG” and “gM” fuse-links the limits of the pre-arcing 12tvalues are given in I E C Publication
269-1.

The maximum operating Z2t values for “aM” fuse-links are specified in Table C on the test-
voltage of 1.1 x U,,
and the test No. 2 at the largest rated current of each homogeneous series.

8.4.3.3 Verification of time-current characteristicsand gates

8.4.3.3.2 Verificationof gates

The following tests may be made at a reduced voltage.
For “aM” fuse-links, additional to the tests in I E C Publication 269-1, the following shall be
verified.
a) A fuse-link is subjected to the current of Table A, column 2, for 60s. It shall not operate.

b) A fuse-link is subjected to the current of Table A, column 3. It shall operate within 5 s .

c) A fuse-link is subjected to the current of Table A, column 5, for 0.2s. It shall not operate.

d) A fuse-link is subjected to the current of Table A, column 7. It shall operate within 0.10s.

Note. -Tests b) and c) may be verified with the breaking capacity tests Nos. 4 and 5, respectively.

8.9.1 Verification of resistance to heat of the fwe-holder

Fuse-holders fitted with fuse-links having the maximum power dissipation corresponding to
the power acceptance of the fuse-holder shall be cyclically loaded as pre-treatment. The pre-treat-
ment is specified in Sub-clause 8.4.3.2 of IEC Publication 269-1. After cooling to normal tem-
perature the breaking capacity shall be tested at I , in accordance with Sub-clause 8.5 of that publi-
cation.

Fuse-links containing organic material in the body or filler shatl be subjected to the same test as
described above. These fuse-links shall interrupt the test currents I , and I,.

Other components are tested in accordance with the subsequent parts.

8.1 1.1 Mechanical strength

8.11.1.1 Mechanical strength offuse-holders

The fuse-holder, fitted with a dummy fuse-link, where specified in IEC Publication 269-2-1 or
fitted with a fuse-link of the largest rated current and power dissipation that can be accommodated
by the fuse-holder, shall be subjected to a temperature-rise test at rated current.

At the conclusion of the temperature-rise test, the fuse-link or the fuse-carrier as appropriate,
shall be withdrawn and inserted into the fuse-base 100 times.
At the conclusion of these tests, all parts shall be intact and shall function normally.

Compliance shall be verified by a further temperature-rise test at rated current at the conclu-
sion of which the values obtained shall be not more than 5 K or 15% (whichever is the greater)
above the values obtained from the temperature-rise test prior to the commencement of the
mechanical test.
