57 INTERNATIONAL  ELECTROTECHNICAL  COMMISSION

LOW-VOLTAGE FUSES –
62 Part 4: Supplementary requirements for fuse-links
63 for the protection of semiconductor devices
66 FOREWORD
1) The International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) is a worldwide organization for standardization comprising
68 all national electrotechnical committees (IEC National  Committees).  The  object  of  IEC  is  to  promote international
co-operation on all questions concerning standardization in the electrical and electronic fields. To this end and in
addition to other activities, IEC publishes International Standards, Technical  Specifications, Technical Reports, Publicly
71 Available Specifications (PAS) and Guides (hereafter referred to  as  “IEC Publication(s)”). Their preparation is
72 entrusted to technical committees; any IEC National Committee interested in the subject dealt with may participate
73 in this preparatory work. International, governmental and non- governmental  organizations  liaising with the IEC  also
participate in this  preparation.  IEC  collaborates  closely with the International Organization for Standardization (ISO)
in accordance with conditions  determined  by agreement between the two organizations.
2) The formal decisions or agreements of IEC on technical matters express, as nearly as possible, an international consensus
77 of opinion on the relevant subjects since each technical committee has representation from  all interested IEC National
78 Committees.
3) IEC Publications have the form of recommendations for international use and are accepted by IEC National Committees
in that sense. While all reasonable efforts are made to ensure that the technical content of IEC Publications is accurate,
81 IEC cannot be held responsible for the way in which they are used or for any misinterpretation by any end user.
4) In order to promote international uniformity, IEC National Committees undertake to apply IEC Publications transparently
to the maximum extent possible in their  national  and  regional  publications.  Any  divergence between any IEC
Publication and the corresponding national or regional publication shall be clearly indicated in the latter.
5) IEC itself does not provide any attestation of conformity. Independent certification bodies provide conformity assessment
services and, in some areas, access to IEC marks of conformity. IEC is not responsible for any services carried out
by independent certification bodies.
6) All users should ensure that they have the latest edition of this publication.
7) No liability shall attach to IEC or its directors, employees, servants or agents including individual experts and members
of its technical committees and IEC National Committees for any personal injury, property damage or other damage
of any nature whatsoever, whether direct or indirect, or for costs (including legal  fees) and expenses arising out of
the publication, use of, or reliance upon, this IEC Publication or any other IEC Publications.
8) Attention is drawn to the Normative references cited in this publication. Use of the referenced publications is indispensable
for the correct application of this publication.
96 9) Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this IEC Publication may be the subject of patent
rights. IEC shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
DISCLAIMER
This Consolidated version is not an official IEC Standard and has been prepared for user
convenience. Only the current versions of the standard  and its  amendment(s) are to
be considered the official documents.

101 This Consolidated version of IEC 60269-4 bears the edition number 5.2. It consists of
102 the fifth edition (2009-05) [documents 32B/535/FDIS and 32B/541/RVD], its amendment 1
103 (2012-05) [documents 32B/579/CDV and 32B/586A/RVC] and its amendment 2 (2016-08)
104 [documents 32B/651/FDIS and 32B/663/RVD]. The technical content is identical to the
105 base edition and its amendments.

106 This  Final  version  does  not  show  where  the  technical  content  is  modified  by
107 amendments  1  and  2.  A  separate  Redline  version  with  all  changes  highlighted  is
108 available in this publication.

109 International Standard IEC 60269-4 has been prepared by subcommittee 32B: Low-voltage
110 fuses, of IEC technical committee 32: Fuses.

111 This fifth edition constitutes a technical revision. The significant technical changes to the
112 fourth edition are:
113 • the introduction of voltage source inverter fuse-links, including test requirements;
114 • coverage of the tests on operating characteristics for AC. by the breaking capacity tests;
115 • the updating of examples of standardised fuse-links for the protection of semiconductor
116 devices.
117 This part is to be used in conjunction with IEC 60269-1:2006, Low-voltage fuses – Part 1:
118 General requirements.
119 This Part 4 supplements or modifies the corresponding clauses or subclauses of Part 1.

120 Where no change is necessary, this Part 4 indicates that the relevant clause or subclause
121 applies.
