Practical Notes
- Interrupting capability is 1500 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.
- Ceramic body holds higher breaking capacity than glass at the same footprint.
- It is the usual choice where prospective fault current is high.
- Working voltage must stay at or below 420 Vac; a lower-rated part is not a safe substitute.
- Do not upsize beyond 12.5 A to stop nuisance trips — fix the cause instead.
Application Scenarios
Common installation contexts include:
- PFC
- surge
Questions and Answers
What are the ratings of the S520-12-5-R?
12.5 A continuous at 420 Vac, interrupting rating 1500 A.
Is the S520-12-5-R fast-acting or time-delay?
It is fast-acting. Expect it to open quickly on overload.
Can the S520-12-5-R be used on a higher fault-current circuit?
No — its interrupting rating is 1500 A. Choose a part whose breaking capacity exceeds the prospective fault current.
