Abstract :
The authors review various types of current-limiting fuses currently installed in distribution systems. The emphasis is on the safety and power-quality concerns addressed when selecting fuses for various applications. This includes a review of tests performed which indicate that the use of current-limiting fuses can reduce the probability of a disruptive failure of system equipment
