People Electric · Knife Contact Fuse Link
Product overview
People Electric RDT16 knife-contact fuse links provide full-range gG protection for AC distribution circuits. The manufacturer main rating table defines each size/current combination, voltage and breaking capacity. Original product nameplates corroborate the500V/660V ratings of the smaller sizes.

Current buttons are fuse-link ratings and are restricted by size. Voltage and breaking capacity follow that size;500V/660V ratings do not extend to the380V-only sizes4/4a. This page offers the documented500/660V and380V schedules. Confirm the exact nameplate, fuse base, indicator/impactor and protection coordination before ordering.
Typical applications
- Overload and short-circuit protection in compatible industrial AC distribution circuits.
