I'm looking for fuse blocks/holders for some BS88 (actually BS88-4 I think) fuses from Eaton - models 50FE and 20CT. I just need a way to mount these in an electrical panel I'm building. I can find a few scant results for fuse blocks for other types of BS88 fuses, but never ones that fit these...
Was wondering why was BS1361 replaced by BS88 even though BS1361 tends to have a larger breaking capacity according to the on-site guide if I'm reading it right, however, I maybe wrong.
For example BS1361 breaking capacity can be 16.5kA to 33kA depending on what type you get, where BS88 is 16kA...
I was wondering, are BS88 fuse boards still used on some new installations especially industrial and even commercial. And if so would that be ok with the regulations or not because its not retrospective. I know they are quite outdated and its hard to find a electrical wholesaler selling BS88...
Main fuse carrier says 100A 415V BS88 1967 on it.
Looking in OSG page 57 for short-circuit capacity there is a BS88-2 and BS88-6.
How do I know which I have?
Thanks
Rich
