The D0 fuse-system is installed in low voltage ditribution units, where fuse-links are accessible to non trained persons and can also be replaced by them. The system is the most modern of the screw systems and designed for 400VAC/250VDC networks. The D0 fuse range comprises the standardized fuse sizes D01, D02 and D03. The range of applications for D0 fuse-links for general application is the protection of cables and power lines. They limit and cut off unacceptable overcurrents and short circuit currents up to their nominal breaking capacity. D0 fuse-links gG also protect equipments and installations against dynamic effects of high short circuit currents. 400 Volts 1P D02 base .
