• Current Rating: See rating on the fuse
• Operating temperature: 0°C to 60°C (32°F to 140°F) and max RH 85%; altitude
up to 2000 m.
• Storage temperature: -20°C to 70°C (-4°F to 158°F)
CE Compliance
This product meets the essential requirements of the applicable European Directives
as follows:
• Low-Voltage Directive (safety):
2014/35/EU
Standard EN 61010-031:2015 +
AMD1:2018

Denitions
POLLUTION - addition of foreign matter, solid, liquid, or gaseous (ionized gases), that may produce a
reduction of dielectric strength or surface resistivity.
• POLLUTION DEGREE 2 - only non-conductive pollution occurs except that occasionally a
temporary conductivity caused by condensation is expected.
MEASUREMENT CATEGORY - classication of testing and measuring circuits according to the types
of mains circuits to which they are intended to be connected.
• MEASUREMENT CATEGORY II (CAT II) - measuring circuits connected directly to utilization
points of the low-voltage mains installation.
• MEASUREMENT CATEGORY III (CAT III) - measuring circuits connected to the distribution
part of the building’s low-voltage mains installation.
• MEASUREMENT CATEGORY IV (CAT IV) - measuring circuits connected at the source of
the building’s low-voltage mains installation
• The measurement category of a combination of fuse adapter with a test lead, probe, or other
accessory is the lower of assembled products
