NORTH AMERICAN CLASSES OF FUSES

The North American fuse industry has developed a number of Classes or Standards for fuses with voltage ratings of 600 volts or less. These classes include basic physical specifications and performance requirements.

Class CC
600V; up to 30A; 200kA
Cylindrical contact, 10 x 38mm with rejection feature.

Class G
300V; up to 60A; 100kA
Cylindrical contact, 10mm diameter

Class H
250 and 600V; up to 600A; 10kA
NEC dimensions.

Class J
600V; up to 600A; 200kA
Non interchangeable dimensions

Class K
250 and 600V; up to 600A; 50, 100 or 200kA
NEC* dimensions.

Class L
600V; 601 to 6,000A; 200kA
Bolted connections.

Class R
250 and 600V; up to 600A; 200kA.
NEC* dimensions; rejection feature.

Class T
300 and 600V; up top 600A; 200kA
Compact dimensions, fast acting. * NEC dimensions — National Electric Code dimensions, often referred to as Code Dimensions.
