UL Fuse Selection and Short Circuit Ratings 

Two Short Circuit Current Ratings (SCCR) are available for UL compliant applications.   

x

 

Standard Fault Currents ( @ 600 VAC circuits)   

The standard fault currents are determined with reference to UL508, section 51, table 51.3. This specifies the short circuit current that 
the starter must withstand based upon the soft starter model horsepower rating (or Full Load Current (FLC) rating or Locked Rotor Amps 
(LRA) depending upon model).   

If using the Standard Fault Current Ratings, the fuse used must be in accordance with the information in the table below (i.e. model and 
manufacture specific).   

x

 

High Available Fault Currents ( @ 480 VAC circuits)   

It is possible to specify short circuit current ratings exceeding the minimum ratings set by the Standard Fault Currents (see above) when 
the soft starter is capable of withstanding the high available short circuit current in accordance with the UL 508 test.   

If using the High Available Fault Current Ratings, then a suitable fuse may be selected based upon Amperage and Fuse Class (J or L as 
applicable).
