Determining device designation of rewirable fuses

Farmboy
Table 3.1 of GN6 lists the rated short cct capacity for three BS 3036 device designations (S1A, S2A & S4A). But how do you determine the designation of the device?


On a different note, on an eicr, would you give a C2 to a size that was lower than the PEFC or PSCC at the point of use? I've looked in BPG4 and codebreakers but couldn't see anything relating specifically to breaking capacity (sorry if I've missed it).

    we have loads of those Bill ones in service, mostly inside isolators


    we did have some 100a BS3036 boards, the fuses were white porcelain and maybe 5-6 inches long


    insert them from the bottom, and push smartly up and in while looking away, was the advice given to me by an old electrician


    advice that applies in other situations too!
