Abstract :
The authors review different considerations in the selection of capacitor fuse applications and the philosophies behind them. Individual and group fusing is discussed. Continuous current, transient current, fault current, tank rupture curve coordination, the voltage on good capacitors during a fault, the energy discharged into a failed unit, outrush current, and coordination with unbalanced detection schemes are topics covered. Examples of actual applications of capacitors in industrial distribution systems are presented.<>
