Abstract :
The use of current-limiting capacitor fuses is increasing because of their ability to limit current and energy, a requirement when fusing large capacitor banks. The performance of these fuses on capacitor discharge currents is described. Test data showing the current and energy limiting action of the fuses is presented. Criteria for evaluating fuse performance is suggested.
