You would need to go to a manufacturers website to get the details.

My point is Ian is if you look at the big red one you assume that the 1362 only came in two versions this is incorrect and as usual there's no relative manufactures info on the fuse

You will be able to find it if you look hard enough for it...

thanks Pevvers despite tight opposition thats got to go down as the most unhelpful comment I've ever received.

Only 3A and 13A BS1362s are specified by the Standard. 5A and other 1362s, whilst available, aren't recognised.

All he was saying is that if you look hard enough you will find it, from your comments it seems that you can't be A**** looking and hope someone else will do it for you.

Thanks Ian
I take it from your kind words that you must be Pevvers appointed spokesperson can I also assume that Pevvers has been in contact with you and told you exactly what he meant because I haven't heard anything from him.
And I still can't locate the 5amp rating for the 1362, I wouldn't have asked if I could. Usually the 99.9% of crrospondance is extremly helpfull

Happy days

Whooah there, well there's on need to be like that is there?!

I have no bearing on what any of the others on here say and do. All I was saying is that if you need information that you can't find easily in the BRB, then you'll have to do like the rest of us have to and look through manufacturers tech sheets, and maybe even have to do some Ohms law and calculate it yourself.

If I knew what the max Zs was off the top of my head I would tell you, but I don't. I shall remind myself not to try to help you again if that is the kind of response I get, I hope you have more luck with the rest of the very helpful contributors on this FREE information forum.

Good luck mate!

Only 3A and 13A BS1362s are specified by the Standard. 5A and other 1362s, whilst available, aren't recognised.

BS88 fuses above 200A also do not have their max Zs in the BRB, also MCCBs have no data. This doesn't mean they're not recognised, just that sometimes you have look through a wealth of manufacturers literature to find the details. Unfortunately the regs only have a finite amount of space available and can therefore not show every protective devices details, otherwise it'd be much much bigger!!
