13、he Electrical Installation Equipment Manufacturers Association Ltd. It should be read in conjunction with BS 88-1, and its clauses and tables have been numbered to correspond with the relevant clauses and tables of Part 1. It supersedes BS 88-5:1980 which is withdrawn. The purpose of this revision i
14、s to incorporate the changes made by the 1988 edition of BS 88-1, and to this end some rewording has been necessary; however, except for these changes the requirements of this Part of BS 88 are similar to those of the previous edition. Fuse-links in accordance with this standard are intended to form
15、 part of a system of providing fuse protection for 415 V distribution networks that have been transformed from 11 kV and 6.6 kV and will give satisfactory co-ordination between high voltage and medium voltage fuse-links and an adequate degree of protection. Fuses within the scope of this standard ar
16、e not sensitive to normal electromagnetic disturbances, and therefore no immunity tests are required. Significant electromagnetic disturbance generated by a fuse is limited to the instant of its operation. Provided that the maximum arc voltages during operation in the type test comply with the requi
17、rements of the clause in this standard specifying maximum arc voltage, the requirements for electromagnetic compatibility are deemed to be satisfied. A British Standard does not purport to include all the necessary provisions of a contract. Users of British Standards are responsible for their correc
18、t application. Compliance with a British Standard does not of itself confer immunity from legal obligations. Summary of pages This document comprises a front cover, an inside front cover, pages i and ii, pages 1 to 10, an inside back cover and a back cover. This standard has been updated (see copyri
19、ght date) and may have had amendments incorporated. This will be indicated in the amendment table on the inside front cover.

20、.1 Scope This Part of BS 88 is applicable to general purpose fuse-links of standardized dimensions and performance, intended for use in a.c. electricity supply networks, where they are accessible to, and may be replaced by, suitably authorized persons only. Requirements for fuse-links for use in d.c
21、. networks and fuses incorporating integral indicating devices are not covered by this Part. NOTE 1Non-interchangeability and protection against accidental contact with live parts are not necessarily ensured by constructional means. NOTE 2In most cases, a part of the associated equipment serves the
22、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 sho
23、uld comply with the appropriate requirements of BS 88-1. NOTE 3The titles of publications referred to in this standard are listed on the inside back cover. 1.2 Object The object of this standard is to specify standard values for: the time/current zones and conventional currents; the rated voltage; t
24、he rated breaking capacity; the maximum power dissipations; the dimensions. 1.3 Compliance Fuse-links for use in electricity supply networks shall comply with all the requirements of BS 88-1, unless otherwise specified in this standard. 2 Definitions For the purposes of this Part of BS 88 the defini
25、tions given in BS 88-1 apply with the exception of the following. 2.3 Characteristic quantities 2.3.13 I2 t characteristic a curve giving I2 t values (pre-arcing I2 t and/or operating I2 t) as a function of prospective current under stated conditions of operation it is also a representation of I2 t
26、values plotted as a function of rated current under stated conditions 3 Conditions for operation in service 3.9 Discrimination of “gG” and “gM” fuses Subclause 3.9 of Part 1 does not apply. In the case of these fuse-links, correct discrimination is ensured by adherence to the standard zones for time
27、/current characteristics as specified in 5.6.1.3 and given in Figure 1(a), Figure 1(b), Figure 1(c), and Figure 1(d). 5 Characteristics of fuses 5.2 Rated voltage The standard rated voltage is 415 V a.c. NOTEWhilst the designed open-circuit voltage of the associated distribution transformers is 433
28、V a.c the desired “on-load” voltage is 415 V a.c. and fuse-links to this Part are rated at this latter voltage. The fuse-links are tested at a minimum voltage of 457 V a.c., i.e. 415 V a.c. + 10 %. 5.3 Rated current The current ratings for the fuse-links shall be as given in Table 1 Table 1 Rated cu
29、rrent values of fuse-links 5.5 Rated power dissipation 5.5.1 Power dissipation of fuse-links. The maximum values of power dissipation for fuse-links, when tested in accordance with 8.3.1, are specified in Table 2, when measured on the standard test rig shown in Figure 3.

31、-5:1988 2 BSI 02-1999 Table 2 Maximum power dissipation values of fuse-links 5.6 Time and current dependent characteristics 5.6.1 Time/current characteristics. This subclause of Part 1 applies with the following addition. Fuse-links shall be such that values derived from the specified tests do not d
32、eviate by more than 10 %, in terms of current, from the manufacturers published curves. 5.6.1.3 Time/current zones. The standard zones for time/current characteristics based on an ambient air temperature of 20C and at a rated voltage of 415 V a.c. are as given in the graphs in Figure 1(a), Figure 1(
33、b), Figure 1(c) and Figure 1(d). 5.6.3 Gates Subclause 5.6.3 of Part 1 does not apply to these fuse-links, because these fuse-links need to be faster than the standardized “gG” types in order to secure good discrimination with h.v. fuse-links on the primary side of the transformer. Correct discrimin
34、ation is ensured by adherence to the standard zones for time/current characteristics as specified in 5.6.1.3 and given in Figure 1(a), Figure 1(b), Figure 1(c), and Figure 1(d). 5.7 Rated breaking capacity The rated breaking capacity shall be a minimum of 46 kA a.c. 5.8 Cut-off current and I2 t char
35、acteristics This clause of Part 1 applies. I2 t characteristics may alternatively be represented as a graph showing pre-arcing and total operating values as a function of rated current. 5.9 Dimensions Standardized dimensions for fuse-links are given in Figure 2. 7 Standard conditions for constructio
36、n 7.5 Breaking capacity The maximum arc voltages specified in Table V of Part 1 apply, with the following additional note. NOTE 2For a.c., the arc voltage may reach up to2 times the values given, provided that the period of such excess does not exceed 1 ms. 7.6 Cut-off characteristics Cut-off charac
37、teristic values shall be made available to the user on request. 7.7 I2 t Characteristics I2 t values shall be made available to the user on request. 7.8 Overcurrent discrimination Subclause 7.8 of Part 1 does not apply to these fuse-links, because these fuse-links need to be faster than the standard
38、ized “gG” types, in order to secure good discrimination with h.v. fuse-links on the primary side of the transformer. Correct discrimination is ensured by adherence to the standard zones for time/current characteristics as specified in 5.6.1.3 and given in Figure 1(a), Figure 1(b), Figure 1(c), and F
39、igure 1(d). and Figure 1(d). 8 Tests 8.1 General 8.1.1 Kind of test. The requirements of Part 1 of this standard apply, but where fuse-links of standardized dimension and performance have been tested in accordance with this Part, the results of such tests shall also be regarded as comprising fuse-li
40、nks of identical construction but having different contact dimensions and fixing centres; provided that the changes are not likely to result in inferior performance. 8.3 Verification of temperature-rise limit, power dissipation and acceptance 8.3.1 Arrangement of the fuse. Fuse-links shall be mounte
41、d in an appropriate carrier and tested in the test rig shown in Figure 3. The connections on either side of the test rig shall be copper bars not less than one metre in length selected in accordance with Table 3.

47、ed. 8.5.2 Characteristics of the test circuit. This subclause of Part 1 applies except that test no. 3 and the d.c. tests are omitted. 8.5.5 Test method 8.5.5.1 This subclause of Part 1 applies except that test no. 3 and all tests for d.c. shall be omitted and that tests nos. 4 and 5 shall be carrie
48、d out at a power factor of 0.8 to 0.9. With the consent of the manufacturer a lower power factor may be employed in these tests. Where testing facilities do not permit direct testing (e.g. for In 200 A) two-part testing may be used. 8.5.5.2 This subclause of Part 1 applies except that both tests for
49、 d.c. shall be omitted. 8.5.8 Acceptability of test results. The requirements of Part 1 apply and, in addition, fuse-links shall operate without melting of the fine-wire fuse, which indicates arcing to the metal enclosure, and without mechanical damage to the test rig. 8.7 Verification of I2 t characteristics and overcurrent discrimination 8.7.3 Verification of compliance at 0.01 s Compliance at 0.01 s is confirmed by adherence to the standard zones for time/current characteristics as specified in 5.6.1.3 and given in Figure 1(a), Figure 1(b), Figure 1
