3 Terms and Definitions
The following terms and definitions apply to this document.
3.1
Current - Limiting Protector for Electric Fire Prevention
A protective device that limits current in the protected circuit when a short circuit or overload occurs.
3.2
Rated Current
The maximum current value that the protector can continuously pass through safely under normal operating conditions.
3.3
Short - Circuit Protection Current
The minimum current that triggers the protector's short - circuit protection.
3.4
Overload Protection Current
The minimum current that triggers the protector's overload protection.
3.5
Short - Circuit Protection Time
The time from when a short circuit occurs in the protected circuit to when the protector completes current limiting protection.
3.6
Current - Limiting Time
The time from when the protector starts current limiting to when it completes current limiting protection.
3.7
Overload Protection Time
The time from when the current value of the protected circuit reaches the overload protection current setting value to when current limiting protection is completed.
4 Requirements
4.1 General Requirements
Protectors shall meet the requirements of this chapter and be tested in accordance with Chapter 5 to confirm compliance with these requirements.
4.2 Packaging and Appearance
4.2.1 Protectors shall have complete packaging at the time of factory release. The protector surface shall have product markings, and the packaging shall include quality inspection pass markings and instruction manuals.
4.2.2 The surface of the protector shall show no signs of corrosion, peeling of coatings, or bubbling, and no obvious scratches, cracks, burrs, or other mechanical damage. Tightened parts shall not be loose.
4.3 Basic Functions
4.3.1 Indicator Lights
Protectors shall have independent indicator lights for their working status, separately indicating normal monitoring status and alarm status. The normal monitoring status indicator shall be green, and the alarm status indicator shall be red. The indicator lights shall have Chinese functional annotations. In the 3 m range directly in front of the indicator lights and in an environment with illuminance not exceeding 500 lx, the indicator lights shall be clearly visible.
Note: The normal monitoring status refers to the state where the protector is powered on and working normally, has not triggered current limiting protection, and has not issued an alarm signal.
4.3.2 Audible Devices
In alarm conditions, the sound pressure level (A - weighted) of the protector's audible device in the 1 m range directly in front of it shall be greater than 70 dB and less than 115 dB.
4.3.3 Protective Alarm Function
Producers shall specify the rated current, short - circuit protection current, and overload protection current of the protector. When the protected circuit experiences an overload or short circuit, the protector shall trigger current limiting protection, issue audible and visual alarm signals within 3 seconds, and maintain the alarm until the protector is reset.
4.3.4 Reset Function
Protectors shall have a reset button, which shall have measures to prevent accidental operation. After the overload or short circuit of the protected circuit is eliminated, the protector shall be able to return to the normal monitoring status by operating the reset button.
4.3.5 Self - Inspection Function
Protectors shall be able to manually check their audible devices and all indicator lights on the panel. During self - inspection, the protector shall not trigger current limiting protection.
4.3.6 Communication Function
Protectors shall have at least one communication interface. Protectors shall be able to transmit their working status to the connected display device through the communication interface.
