Mark, I can understand your frustration. For a period I had to perform safety assessments to 60950. Being inadequately experienced I did a lot of reading around many relevant subjects and 'fuses' was the most enlightening. There is a lot of useful technical information by major fuse manufacturers and informative codes of practice. Armed with my newly acquired 'academic' knowledge I challenged a product's specified fuse stating the breaking capacity was too low. The engineer (note small 'e') said, and I quote " the fuses fitted are OK. Anyway what's wrong with them' I replied that if there was a short circuit it could destroy the fuse holder and severely damage a large area around. " Mmmmmmmmm" he replied "we get a lot of that".
