NEW gR-CLASS
OPTIMAL PROTECTION OF POWER EQUIPMENT
Thanks to recent technological developments, Ferraz Shawmut today
markets gR-class PROTISTOR
®
fuses capable of clearing all types of over-
loads, from low multiples of current ratings up to very high short-circuit
currents. Enhanced performance enables these fuses to provide solu-
tions to many previously unsolved problems in power electronics: pro-
tection of cables without the use of additional components, protection
of equipment from fire hazards, selective coordination of different fuses
within a single power distribution installation...

SELECTIVE COORDINATION
aR
gR
gR-class semiconductor fuses can be utilized in association with gI and gG-class
low voltage power distribution fuses of the same current rating, installed upst-
ream. In a “selectively coordinated“ distribution installation, melting is limited
to the fuse associated with the faulted circuit, while upstream fuses remain
intact. This prevents unnecessary down-time due to power blackouts in non-
faulted branches.

aR-CLASS vs. gR-CLASS
aR-class fuses feature a high minimum inter-
rupting current as compared with their cur-
rent rating. The primary time-current charac-
teristic of aR-class fuses is the CC’ curve,
above which another protection device must
be associated. The gR-class fuse represents
considerably improved performance in semi-
conductor protection.

FERRAZ SHAWMUT EXPERTISE
gR-class fuses should be used in the design of low voltage equipment and in the protection of
power electronics equipment. Designers can often substitute a gR-class fuse for an aR-class fuse
(10x38, 14x51, 22x58, PSC 000 and 17x49 DIN80 or BS 88-4) but the reverse is not true: an aR
fuse can never replace a gR fuse. Start protecting your new equipment with gR-class fuses today.
The application of gR class fuses, with current ratings less than 100 Amps, offers enhanced pro-
tection, safety and reliability, along with reduced risk of replacement errors and assembly costs.
