Selection Notes
- Interrupting capability is 35 A — confirm the circuit's prospective fault current stays below this.
- Fast element suits resistive and semiconductor loads rather than motors with high inrush.
- Because it opens within milliseconds, downstream semiconductors see less let-through energy.
- Glass body lets you inspect the element after a fault.
- Best kept for lower fault-current circuits where visual diagnosis matters.
- Working voltage must stay at or below 250 Vac; a lower-rated part is not a safe substitute.
- Do not upsize beyond 0.5 A to stop nuisance trips — fix the cause instead.
Typical Applications
Engineers usually specify it for these duties:
- transformer

Q&A
What are the ratings of the C520-500-R?
0.5 A continuous at 250 Vac, interrupting rating 35 A.
Is the C520-500-R fast-acting or time-delay?
It is fast-acting. Expect it to open quickly on overload.
Can the C520-500-R be used on a higher fault-current circuit?
No — its interrupting rating is 35 A. Choose a part whose breaking capacity exceeds the prospective fault current.
