80A BS1361 Time Current Curve

Farmboy
Hi all


Does anyone have a copy of the graph / curve please, either on its own or perhaps along with a 60A curve?


Thanks

    the curves in the second link don't seem to match those in the first



    Not impossible - manufacturer's data often shows "better" characteristics than the generic data from the fuse's standard or BS 7671 charts. You're free to use manufacturer's data if you want, but it really should be from the manufacturer of the particular fuse you're considering..


    Is this for an EICR or similar? It's just that BS 1361 is now defunct - replaced by BS 88-3 (and 60A by 63A) - and with slightly different time/current characteristics too I suspect.
