This standard applies to thermal links installed in electrical, electronic equipment and similar components used in general indoor environments to prevent them from overheating in the event of a fault. Note 1 to entry: Equipment is not necessarily designed to generate heat. Note 2: The effectiveness of preventing overheating is related to the installation position and installation method of the thermal link and the magnitude of the current it carries. Note 3: It should be noted that the external creepage distances and clearances specified in Table 3 may in some cases be less than the requirements specified in some electrical or equipment standards. In this case, when such equipment is installed with a thermal fuse, measures should be taken to make the creepage distance and electrical clearance reach the specified value of the corresponding equipment standard. This standard can also be used for thermal-links used in non-indoor conditions if the climatic and other conditions in which the thermal-link is located are similar to those specified in this standard. This standard also applies to simple-shaped thermal links (such as fuses or fuses), as long as the molten material discharged during operation does not affect the safe use of the equipment, especially for hand-held or portable equipment, regardless of its location. It will not affect their safe use. This standard applies to thermal-links with a rated voltage not exceeding 690 V AC and DC and a rated current not exceeding 63 A. The purpose of this standard is to: a) establish requirements for thermal links; b) define test methods; c) provide useful information for the application of thermal links in equipment. This standard does not apply to thermal links used in extreme conditions such as corrosive or explosive atmospheres. This standard does not apply to thermal links used on AC circuits with frequencies below 45 Hz or above 62 Hz.
