People only bought slow acting fuses for all uses, not only those which they were inteded to be used for. Do you see a parallell to the Americans overuse of 30 Amp edison fuses?

To get around this, the gL/gG fuse have replaced the slow fuses. If anyone asks, you tell them it is a slow fuse. The curve is supposed to be slow for moderate overcurrents (e.g. a starting motor) and fast for very high currents (a short circuit).
Trip curves and more can be found here: {In Swedish, English and some German
