The special non-flammable silicone coating utilized in the construction of the AC-CS helps prevent flame or explosion when an AC mains voltage of 115VAC or 230VAC is applied. To compare, fusible resistors offered by competitors produce heavy and visible sparks under similar overload conditions. In addition to being non-flammable, the specially developed lacquer coating meets the excellent thermal and electrical insulating properties of standard silicone cement coatings.
