Special Application Fuses PICO(R) 259-UL913 Series Intrinsically Safe Fuse for Hazardous Locations PICO(R) 259-UL913 Series Intrinsically Safe Fuse RoHS Description The 259-UL913 Series offers a range of encapsulated fuses certified under the UL 913, the standard for intrinsically safe electrical equipment, to operate in hazardous locations. Ideal for use in the oil, gas, mine, chemical process, and pharmaceutical industries, the 259-UL913 fuse was designed to limit the energy and temperature generated during its operation. In addition to UL913, these fuses meet ATEX and IECEx requirements. The fuse design and its encapsulant are suitable for use in intrinsically safe appartatus and associated apparatus for voltage not exceeding 125V rms (190V peak).
