Abstract :
FAULT current (also designated overcurrent or short-circuit current) protective devices, fuses, circuit breakers, and relays are the watchmen of a power system, whose job it is to detect trouble and get rid of it as expeditiously as possible. The design of such a protective system involves two separate although interrelated steps.
