Abstract :
Low-voltage fuse standards, and enclosure standards are reviewed. The component heat rise, overload capability, mechanical and electrical endurance, insulating base strength, dielectric strength, and short-circuit withstand capabilities of low-voltage enclosed switches are discussed. Specific test standards, enclosure types, and applications are also discussed.<>
