Foreword
GB/T 31465 Road Vehicles - Fuse-links includes the following 7 parts:
---Part 1: Definitions and General Test Requirements;
---Part 2: Users Guide;
---Part 3: Fuse-link with Blade Type;
---Part 4: Fuse-links with Female Contacts and Bolt-in Contacts;
---Part 5: Fuse-links with Axial Terminals (strip fuse-links);

This is the second part of GB/T 31465.
This Part was drafted in accordance with the rules in GB/T 1.1-2009.
The amendment of this Part adopts the Redrafting Law; the formulation of this Part
adopts ISO 8820-2: 2005 Road Vehicles - Fuse-links - Part 2: User’s Guide.
In comparison with ISO 8820-2, the technical differences and the causes for these
differences are as follows:
---Appendix B adopts the latest version of the draft of ISO 8820-2. The selection
process of Figure B.1 is added; the directive function of the standard is
reinforced;
---Chapter 15 in the previous context does not contain any specific content; it is
deleted in this Part;
---In the previous context, Appendix A is normative. However, it is not mentioned
in the main body, but the scope. In addition, the content itself belongs to the
nature of reference. Hence, it is modified into informative appendix in this Part.
Editorial modifications are as follows:
---Decimal point “.” is used to replace comma “,”, which is used as decimal point
in the previous standard;
---The Foreword of the international standard is deleted;
---Word description or format of scope and definition is modified;
Road Vehicles - Fuse-link - Part 2: User’s Guide
1 Scope
This Part of GB/T 31465 describes various aspects of factors that must be taken into
consideration in the selection of fuse-links.
This Part is applicable to guidance for the selection and application of fuse links for
road vehicles.
NOTE: in terms of parameter selection for fuse-links, for example, the selection of rated
current and wire specifications, please refer to Appendix A and Appendix B.
2 Normative References
The following documents are indispensable to the application of this document. In
terms of references with a specific date, only versions with a specific date are
applicable to this document. In terms of references without a specific date, the latest
versions (including all the modification lists) are applicable to this document.
GB/T 31465.1 Road Vehicles - Fuse-link - Part 1: Definitions and General Test
Requirements (GB/T 31465.1-2015, ISO 8820-1: 2008, MOD)
3 Terms and Definitions
Terms and definitions that are defined in GB/T 31465.1 are applicable to this document.
4 Rated Voltage
Fuse-link’s rated voltage shall be more than the nominal voltage of vehicle’s electrical
system, so as to adapt to the overvoltage condition that might emerge.
5 Rated Current and Continuous Operating Current
Rated current (IR) is used to identify fuse-link’s specifications.
The continuous operating current (IC) shown in Figure 1 is at the highest ambient
temperature, the maximum current of continuous circuit (fuse-link, terminal, fuse holder
and wire). Continuous operating current shall be smaller than the rated current.
Appendix A
(Informative)
Selection of Fuse-link Parameters
All parts of GB/T 31465 define basic requirements, rated voltage, rated current, and
test methods for time-current characteristics of fuse-links, so as to provide comparable
and reproduceable test results of fuse-links.
During the practical applicable, other parameters also need to be taken into
consideration, so that fuse-links may be correctly selected. Parameters like:
---Continuous operating current and operating time;
---Short-circuit protection for one or multiple electrical/electronic devices;
---Connecting resistance;
---Wire types, such as different cross sections, lengths and insulations;
---Internal resistance of terminal, wire and electrical appliances;
---Voltage drop of various elements in the components;
---Short-circuit factors;
---Electrical appliances’ surge current;
---Locked-rotor current;
---Different voltages, currents, systems and ambient temperatures;
---Fixture and electrical junction box;
---Fuse-link’s installation direction and working environment, for example, engine,
compartment or luggage compartment;
---The gap among fuse-links in electrical junction box;
---Environmental conditions (such as mechanical load, climate load and chemical
load, etc.);
---Fuse-link’s forced cooling;
---Other aspects.
It is suggested that users shall consult relevant manufacturers regarding the
---Whether this load current is continuous or pulse current;
---Whether high current surge exists while the switch is switched off;
---Whether the load current provided during vehicle operation is in short-term or
long-term operation.
B.2.2.2 Determine ambient temperature for fuse-link installation
After determining the load current, the next step is to consider fuse-link’s ambient
temperature. Since fuse-link itself is a heating device, its working characteristics are
under the influence of ambient temperature. Generally speaking, rated current and
regular characteristics are measured at room temperature [(23 ± 5) °C]. When the
difference of ambient temperature is extremely large, fuse-link’s rated current shall be
re-calculated based on the manufacturer’s characteristic curve.
B.2.2.3 In accordance with B.2.2.1 and B.2.2.2, determine fuse-link’s rated
current
Through the result obtained in B.2.2.1 and B.2.2.2, fuse-links which have correct rated
current can be selected.
If chip fuse-links are selected to offer protection to this load: ambient temperature 40 °C;
supply voltage 14 V; continuous operating; nominal voltage 12 V; rated power 95 W;
load current is: (95 W/12 V) (14 V/12 V) = 9.24 A.
At the nominal ambient temperature of 23 °C, fuse-link’s theoretical rated current is:
9.24 A/0.7 = 13.2 A (0.7 signifies that load current shall not exceed 70% of the rated
current).
Through Figure B.2, it can be seen that at 40 °C, between the rated current 10 A ~ 15
A, there is a current point of 13.2 A. Therefore, it is correct to select 15 A as fuse-link’s
rated current.
NOTE: in this example, if simple estimation (9.24 A) based on a single load current is
selected, a fuse-link with 10 A rated current will be selected, which is unfavorable
to the long-term reliability.
B.2.3 Steps of selecting suitable cross-sections and temperature resistance
level for wires
B.2.3.1 Determine wires’ temperature level
In accordance with the ambient temperature of wire installation, determine wires’
temperature level.
B.2.3.2 Calculate the current that breaks fuse-link before wires are damaged
