LOW VOLTAGE CIRCUIT BREAKERS (MCBs) AND COORDINATION OF FUSES IN DISTRIBUTION NETWORK

Abstract

Among the best-known electrical devices are fuses and they are hugely in use throughout the electrical design systems. Apart from its advantageous features, it has some drawbacks nowadays. A study in respect of the total clearing time for a new type of fuse based on controllable fusing concept is proposed. The validation of the new concept has been carried out experimentally using different current values. This controllable fusing method can be used within an over-current protection system especially in the semiconductors protection.
