B would operate the quickest...C is standard domestic and D is usually used
for Motors etc....

If i was going to protect the outputs of my CBUS dimmers i would use hrc
fuses ...

Have had one channel fall over on one of my dimmers....Sent it to Clipsal
in
Adelaide and had it back in just over a week which i thought was good
service....
