regarding the bs3036

The BS1362 your most likley to find in the PAT testing book (purple coloured if i remember back)

Jamie if you ment breaking capacity instead of scc look at the following:

BS 1362 specifies breaking-time/current characteristics only for fuses with a current rating of 3 A (marked in red) or 13 A (marked in brown). Examples for the required breaking-time ranges are

• For 3 A fuses: 0.02–80 s at 9 A, < 0.1 s at 20 A and < 0.03 s at 30 A.
• For 13 A fuses: 1–400 s at 30 A, 0.1–20 s at 50 A and 0.01–0.2 s at 100 A.

Yes, for general guidance BS1362 are stated at 6KA and BS3036 at 4KA.
