Application of high voltage current limiting fuse model using ATP-draw

This paper presents the results of arcing energy by the initiation of arcing, the arc clearing voltage, the system impedance (X/R), and the making angle. To perform this analysis, current limiting fuse (CLF) model was developed using the ATP-Draw program. The violent activation of arc is affected by the voltage level, the voltage rise rate when the arcing starts, and the minimum and the maximum positions of the arcing energy that can be moved to zero degree by the X/R, and the more severe interrupted condition has to be considered. The model developed using ATP-Draw enables a non-expert to use it without spending excessive time and effort.
