fuse manufacturer

[Walter Harley]

I'm trying to identify a fuse. It's a 5x20mm ceramic cartridge-style body.
The manufacturer logo is a square with an 'S' inside it. The rest of the
markings are T 3.15AH 250V. So, it's a 3.15A 250V fuse; but is it slow-blow
or fast-blow, low- or high-current interrupt? It's from a mercury vapor
lamp that my wife uses in her lab at work; at the moment I know nothing else
about the lamp.

Any help welcomed!

Thanks,
-walter

its a slow blow because MV lights have a high turn on current compared
to running current.

I dont know who the mfr of that fuse is, but T is the german
abreviation for slow blow fuses. (T - traege)

And in english speaking parts the T is interpreted as "Time delay"

Perfect! It's a Swiss-made unit, I think. (I wonder if the S in a box is
Siemens?)

Bingo. And there it is, right at the top of their web page, the S in a box.
My compliments to your brain
