Current limiting fuses: application considerations and cautions

IEEE C37.48.1 (2002) covers key concepts in the use of current limiting fuses. The 5^th section of the document provides insight into the proper application considerations and the cautions that need to be followed when using current limiting fuses. It covers typical application of the fuse in normal protection schemes for various types of equipment as well as the physical considerations to use in applying these fuses. Again the goal was to have a tutorial document that teaches the basis for the "rules of thumb" application guides used in the industry, rather than just noting that certain considerations must be followed.
