HIGH-VOLTAGE FUSES –
Part 1: Current-limiting fuses
FOREWORD
1) The International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) is a worldwide organization for standardization comprising
all national electrotechnical committees (IEC National Committees). The object of IEC is to promote
international co-operation on all questions concerning standardization in the electrical and electronic fields. To
this end and in addition to other activities, IEC publishes International Standards, Technical Specifications,
Technical Reports, Publicly Available Specifications (PAS) and Guides (hereafter referred to as "IEC
Publication(s)"). Their preparation is entrusted to technical committees; any IEC National Committee interested
in the subject dealt with may participate in this preparatory work. International, governmental and non-
governmental organizations liaising with the IEC also participate in this preparation. IEC collaborates closely
with the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) in accordance with conditions determined by
agreement between the two organizations.
2) The formal decisions or agreements of IEC on technical matters express, as nearly as possible, an international
consensus of opinion on the relevant subjects since each technical committee has representation from all
interested IEC National Committees.
3) IEC Publications have the form of recommendations for international use and are accepted by IEC National
Committees in that sense. While all reasonable efforts are made to ensure that the technical content of IEC
Publications is accurate, IEC cannot be held responsible for the way in which they are used or for any
misinterpretation by any end user.
4) In order to promote international uniformity, IEC National Committees undertake to apply IEC Publications
transparently to the maximum extent possible in their national and regional publications. Any divergence
between any IEC Publication and the corresponding national or regional publication shall be clearly indicated in
the latter.
5) IEC itself does not provide any attestation of conformity. Independent certification bodies provide conformity
assessment services and, in some areas, access to IEC marks of conformity. IEC is not responsible for any
services carried out by independent certification bodies.
6) All users should ensure that they have the latest edition of this publication.
7) No liability shall attach to IEC or its directors, employees, servants or agents including individual experts and
members of its technical committees and IEC National Committees for any personal injury, property damage or
other damage of any nature whatsoever, whether direct or indirect, or for costs (including legal fees) and
expenses arising out of the publication, use of, or reliance upon, this IEC Publication or any other IEC
Publications.
8) Attention is drawn to the Normative references cited in this publication. Use of the referenced publications is
indispensable for the correct application of this publication.
9) Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this IEC Publication may be the subject of
patent rights. IEC shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
International Standard IEC 60282-1 has been prepared by subcommittee 32A: High-voltage
fuses, of IEC technical committee 32: Fuses.
This eighth edition cancels and replaces the seventh edition published in 2009.
This edition includes the following significant technical changes with respect to the previous
edition:
– additional information concerning thermally operated strikers;
– the division of ratings, characteristics and type tests into those applicable to all fuses and
those applicable to particular fuse-link types and applications;
– adjustment of Series II voltages and tests to meet present North American standard
system voltages and applications;
– clarification of requirements for fuse-links used in surrounding temperatures above 40 °C;

111 FOREWORD
112 1) The International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) is a worldwide organization for standardization comprising
113 all national electrotechnical committees (IEC National Committees). The object of IEC is to promote
114 international co-operation on all questions concerning standardization in the electrical and electronic fields. To
115 this end and in addition to other activities, IEC publishes International Standards, Technical Specifications,
116 Technical Reports, Publicly Available Specifications (PAS) and Guides (hereafter referred to as “IEC
117 Publication(s)”). Their preparation is entrusted to technical committees; any IEC National Committee interested
118 in the subject dealt with may participate in this preparatory work. International, governmental and non-
119 governmental organizations liaising with the IEC also participate in this preparation. IEC collaborates closely
120 with the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) in accordance with conditions determined by
121 agreement between the two organizations.
122 2) The formal decisions or agreements of IEC on technical matters express, as nearly as possible, an international
123 consensus of opinion on the relevant subjects since each technical committee has representation from all
124 interested IEC National Committees.
125 3) IEC Publications have the form of recommendations for international use and are accepted by IEC National
126 Committees in that sense. While all reasonable efforts are made to ensure that the technical content of IEC
127 Publications is accurate, IEC cannot be held responsible for the way in which they are used or for any
128 misinterpretation by any end user.
129 4) In order to promote international uniformity, IEC National Committees undertake to apply IEC Publications
130 transparently to the maximum extent possible in their national and regional publications. Any divergence
131 between any IEC Publication and the corresponding national or regional publication shall be clearly indicated in
132 the latter.
133 5) IEC itself does not provide any attestation of conformity. Independent certification bodies provide conformity
134 assessment services and, in some areas, access to IEC marks of conformity. IEC is not responsible for any
135 services carried out by independent certification bodies.
136 6) All users should ensure that they have the latest edition of this publication.
137 7) No liability shall attach to IEC or its directors, employees, servants or agents including individual experts and
138 members of its technical committees and IEC National Committees for any personal injury, property damage or
139 other damage of any nature whatsoever, whether direct or indirect, or for costs (including legal fees) and
140 expenses arising out of the publication, use of, or reliance upon, this IEC Publication or any other IEC
141 Publications.
142 8) Attention is drawn to the Normative references cited in this publication. Use of the referenced publications is
143 indispensable for the correct application of this publication.
144 9) Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this IEC Publication may be the subject of
145 patent rights. IEC shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
146 International Standard IEC 60282-1 has been prepared by subcommittee 32A: High-voltage
147 fuses, of IEC technical committee 32: Fuses.
148 This eighth edition cancels and replaces the seventh edition published in 2009. The content of
149 the amendment (2013) has been considered for this revision.
150 The main changes introduced by this new edition are:
151 Additional information concerning thermally operated strikers, the division of ratings,
152 characteristics and type tests into those applicable to all fuses and those applicable to
153 particular fuse-link types and applications, adjustment of Series II voltages and tests to meet
154 present North American standard system voltages and applications, clarification of
155 requirements for fuse-links used in surrounding temperatures above 40 °C, and clarification of
156 homogeneous requirements for fuse-links containing one element.
157 The text of this standard is based on the following documents:

206 2 Normal and special service conditions
207 2.1 Normal service conditions
208 Fuses complying with this standard are designed to be used under the following conditions.
209 a) The maximum ambient air temperature is 40 °C and its mean measured over a period of
210 24 h does not exceed 35 °C.
211 The minimum ambient air temperature is –25 °C.
212 NOTE 1 The time-current characteristics of fuses will be modified at the minimum and maximum
213 temperatures.
214 b) The altitude does not exceed 1 000 m.
215 c) The ambient air is not excessively (or abnormally) polluted by dust, smoke, corrosive or
216 flammable gases, vapour or salt.

IEC CDV 60282-1/ED8 IEC:2018 32A/341/CDV
217 d) For indoor installations, the conditions of humidity are under consideration but, in the
218 meantime, the following figures can be used as a guide:
219 – the average value of the relative humidity, measured during a period of 24 h, does not
220 exceed 95 %;
221 – the average value of the vapour pressure, for a period of 24 h, does not exceed
222 22 hPa;
223 – the average value of the relative humidity, for a period of one month, does not exceed
224 90 %;
225 – the average value of the water vapour pressure, for a period of one month, does not
226 exceed 18 hPa.
227 For these conditions, condensation may occasionally occur.
228 NOTE 2 Condensation can be expected where sudden temperature changes occur in periods of high
229 humidity.
230 NOTE 3 To withstand the effects of high humidity and occasional condensation, such as breakdown of in-
231 sulation or corrosion of metallic parts, indoor fuses designed for such conditions and tested accordingly or
232 outdoor fuses are an alternative.
233 NOTE 4 Condensation is prevented by special design of the building or housing, by suitable ventilation and
234 heating of the station or by the use of dehumidifying equipment.
235 e) Vibrations due to causes external to fuses or earth tremors are negligible.
236 In addition, for outdoor installations,
237 f) account should be taken of the presence of condensation or rain and rapid temperature
238 changes;
239 g) the wind pressure does not exceed 700 Pa (corresponding to 34 m/s wind speed);
2
240 h) the solar radiation does not exceed 1,0 kW/m .
241 Applications involving fuse-links in enclosures (fuse enclosure packages) typically satisfy the
242 requirements of “normal service conditions” because the ambient temperature (the
243 temperature outside the enclosure) meets the temperatures in a) of this subclause. However,
244 in an enclosure, surrounding temperatures (see 3.3.11) above 40 °C are to be expected and
245 additional considerations may apply regarding assigning a current carrying capability to the
246 device (see 4.2.4, 4.2.5, 4.2.9.2 and IEC/TR 62655:2013).
247 For certain fuse-links and applications in enclosures additional tests may be required as
248 covered in this standard in Annex E.
249 2.2 Special service conditions
250 2.2.1 General
251 By agreement between the manufacturer and the user, high-voltage fuses may be used under
252 conditions different from the normal service conditions given in 2.1. For any special service
253 condition, the manufacturer shall be consulted.
254 2.2.2 Altitude
255 For installations at an altitude higher than 1 000 m, the required rated insulation withstand
256 level of external insulation shall be determined by multiplying the needed insulation levels at
257 the service location by an altitude correction factor, K (> 1) given in column (2) of Table 1.
a
258 The dielectric withstand voltages of a fuse at a particular altitude may be determined by
259 multiplying its rated insulation withstand levels by 1/K (< 1), given in column (3) of Table 1.
a
260 For altitudes between 1 000 m and 1 500 m and between 1 500 m and 3 000 m, the correction
261 factors may be obtained by linear interpolation between the values in Table 1.

263 Where the dielectric characteristics are identical at any altitude, no special precautions need
264 to be taken.
265 The current-carrying capability of a fuse may be determined for altitudes exceeding 1 000 m
266 by applying the appropriate factors given in Table 2, column (2) to the rated current or
267 allowable continuous current of the fuse.
268 For altitudes between 1 000 m and 1 500 m and between 1 500 m and 3 000 m, the correction
269 factors may be obtained by linear interpolation between the values in Table 2.

272 2.3 Environmental behaviour
273 Fuses complying with this standard are inert devices during normal service. It is also a
274 requirement of 5.1.3 that no significant external emission takes place. Therefore, they are
275 regarded as environmentally safe devices in service and operation.
