    National Electric Code (NEC) requirements. If opening of the branch circuit protective or the supplemental fuses (high speed fuse) EFit shall be examined and replaced if damaged. It is strongly recommended that the installing authority includes independent, system-safety mechanisms to protect both personnel and equipment against injury or damage, and that such safety mechanisms be regularly inspected and maintained.

    3.2 Fuses According to the CE and UL certifications, high speed fuses are necessary for the protection of the EFit power controller against short circuit. The power circuit shall be protected by a supplemental fuse as described in the table below. These should be used in conjunction with suitable fuse holders and contact kits (if required) as shown in this table.
