Applies to fuse-links to be used in equipment containing semi-conductor devices for circuits of nominal voltage up to 1500 volt d.c. and also, in so far as they are applicable, for circuits of higher nominal voltages. This Standard is identical with and has been reproduced from IEC 60269-4:1986, incorporating Amendment 1:1995.

These supplementary requirements apply to fuse-links for application in equipment containing semiconductor devices for circuits of rated voltages up to 1 000 V a.c. or circuits of nominal voltages up to 1 500 V d.c. and also, in so far as they are applicable, for circuits of higher nominal voltages. Notes 1. - Such fuse-links are commonly referred to as "semiconductor fuse-links". 2. - In most cases, a part of the associated equipment serves the purpose of a fuse-base. Owing to the great variety of equipment, no general rules can be given; the suitability of the associated equipment to serve as a fuse-base should be subject to agreement between the manufacturer and the user. However, if separate fuse-bases or fuse-holders are used, they should comply with the appropriate requirements of IEC Publication 60269-1.
