This standard covers supplemental requirements for low tension primary cable intended for use as Fusible Links (Fuse Links) at a nominal system voltage of 60 V DC (25 V AC) or less in surface vehicle electrical systems. These supplemental requirements are intended to qualify cables for an extreme current overload.
Rationale:
This document is being revised to include the following:
Update format
Changed tension to voltage for consistency between documents
Added SAE J1127 to Applicable Publications
Removed unnecessary Related Specifications
Added reference to SAE J1127 in Section 4, as a gauge size from this document is currently being used in fusible links and adjusted text to reflect this
Removed Section 5 “Additional Requirements” as these are requirements and will be moved to Section 4
Modified Section 4.3 to reflect a “minimum of 500 cold cranking amps”
