BS1361 fuses

[Quantum dan]

I'm doing some past papers for my 17th exam this week and have found 2 questions about bs1361 fuses - their operating times and max zs. I can't find any data in the regs about them.
Am I being blind or are these questions pertaining to old regs that have been removed from the current edition?

They're not in the green BS7671 Dan. I think they were in the red though! BS88 has replaced BS1361

TLC often have some good information and have the disconnection times for BS1361 :

Could be worth investing in a well thumbed earlier version of the regs off ebay for such stuff

Don't waste time in the test getting bogged down looking through loads of pages just for 1 question.

If you can't find it in a couple of pages, flag it and move on.

Go back at the end and revue if you have time.
