Blade-fuse-links are not only useful for automotive applications. By considering the above mentioned, these fuses can be use for applications with voltage ratings up to 32 V and constant currents up to nearly 22 A. Beside the possibilties of various fuseholder-systems there is one big advantage for the user of blade-fuse-links: he can buy these fuse-links 24 h a day, 7 days a week on nearly every gas-station. This is an unique availability. The important point is, that the engineer knows the background of the different t/c-characteristics otherwise he will put the wrong current rating in his application. Having selected the fuse, the engineer is also able to select the minimum cable-size. Beside the selection of the cable-size based on fuse-datas, he also needs to reduce the voltage drop on the cable, as a result of which most of the applications have 'oversized' cables. In this paper the reader may find two examples for two different ambient conditions using the same transformer. There is a large difference in the fuse-link's rated current and cable-size selected.
