Special Application Fuses
259 Series Safe-T-Plus Fuse
Safe-T-Plus Fuse 259 Series
Description
The Safe-T-Plus 259 Series offers a range of encapsulated
fuses designed to enable greater safety operating electronic
equipment within potentially explosive environments. Originally
designed to serve the needs of gas plants, petrochemical and
processing industries, these fuses are certitifed for use within
intrinsically safe apparatus (CENELEC EN50014 to 039 and IEC
60079-11).
The encapsulation material is Polyamide 6 at a minimum depth
of 1mm (3mm typically) and has a CTI (Comparative Tracking
Index) of greater than 175. The leads are separated by a
minimum clearance and creepage distance of 9 mm and hence
are suitable for use in intrisically safe appartatus for voltage not
exceeding 125V rms (190V peak).

Schedule of limitations.
1) The fuse must be so mounted that creepage and clearance distances aren’t impaired in any way.
2) When used in intrinsically safe apparatus it will be necessary to determine a surface temperature classification for the fuse.
3) Max surface temp rise at 170% rated current £750mA=40ºC, 1A=45ºC, 3A=63ºC and 5A=114ºC.
