Wht's the max permitted Zs when usins a 5amp 1362 fuse, I can only find ref for 3a & 13a in tables
My point is Ian is if you look at the big red one you assume that the 1362 only came in two versions this is incorrect and as usual there's no relative manufactures info on the fuse
thanks Pevvers despite tight opposition thats got to go down as the most unhelpful comment I've ever received.
Thanks Ian
I take it from your kind words that you must be Pevvers appointed spokesperson can I also assume that Pevvers has been in contact with you and told you exactly what he meant because I haven't heard anything from him.
And I still can't locate the 5amp rating for the 1362, I wouldn't have asked if I could. Usually the 99.9% of crrospondance is extremly helpfull
Happy days
Only 3A and 13A BS1362s are specified by the Standard. 5A and other 1362s, whilst available, aren't recognised.

BS88 fuses above 200A also do not have their max Zs in the BRB, also MCCBs have no data. This doesn't mean they're not recognised, just that sometimes you have look through a wealth of manufacturers literature to find the details. Unfortunately the regs only have a finite amount of space available and can therefore not show every protective devices details, otherwise it'd be much much bigger!!
True but 5A is not a standard rating of BS1362 fuse. Only 3A and 13A are, which I would imagine is why they are not listed.
Ah yes, but still manufactured to a British Standard, so information will still be able to be found...
Sorry my original post probably wasn't very clear!
But yes, there should be no difficulty finding the information if the will is there.
Thanks Ian

ok my understading IS bns1362 primaraly plugtop fuses (BRB appendix 1 p229) as such on a plugtop there there for appliance protection from overload and short circuit currents. They are rarely used (20+ years experiance i have never soon) as a circuit protective device and as such why would a Zs reading be required?
Maybe if you are using them in a fused connection unit from a ring. Then the 5A fuse could be used for disconnection instead of the MCB.
