Abstract :
After a review of the currently available types of low-voltage circuit breakers and fuses, a discussion is presented of how to optimize low-voltage distribution for selectively coordinated systems through the use of properly selected overcurrent protection devices. Topics covered include how these components respond during overcurrent conditions and how system coordination is enhanced by zone selective interlocking
