Overview
This part of IEC 60127 covers the general requirements and tests applicable to all types of miniature fuse-links (for example, cartridge fuse-links, sub-miniature fuse-links, universal modular fuse-links and miniature fuse-links for special applications) for the protection of electric appliances, electronic equipment and component parts thereof normally intended to be used indoors. This standard does not apply to fuses intended for the protection of low-voltage electrical installations. These are covered by IEC 60269, Low Voltage Fuses. Specific details covering each major subdivision are given in subsequent parts. This standard does not apply to fuses for appliances intended to be used under special conditions, such as in a corrosive or explosive atmosphere. Application of this document increases investment security for manufacturers and users, provides testing laboratories and manufacturers with defined information for testing, and enhances product compatibility between manufacturers.
