4、holder. BACKGROUND The UL 4248 family of Standards has been developed primarily to provide a tri-nationally harmonized (United States, Canada and Mexico) set of requirements for fuseholders. The UL 4248 series of Standards has been designed to complement the UL 248 family of Standards in that it con
5、sists of a Part 1 containing General Requirements applicable to all fuseholders and 8 subsequent Parts specifi c to a corresponding single Class of fuseholder. RATIONALE The actual technical requirements; Construction, Performance and Marking remain fundamentally the same as those contained in UL 51
6、2, upon which the UL 4248 family is based. There are, however, some technical differences that have been incorporated into these Standards. These include: The exclusive use of dummy fuses, in lieu of actual fuses, in the performance testing of fuseholders. The use of dummy fuses will increase the co
7、nsistency of test results by removing the effects of fuse-to-fuse performance variations. The provision of requirements for the use of polymeric materials in the construction of fuseholders. The requirement of a 5 ma. limit for leakage current through an open fuse indicator or indicating circuit. Pr
8、ovision of a mechanism for the evaluation of the degree of electric shock protection provided by fuseholders marked with IP codes. Copyright Underwriters Laboratories Inc.
