Fuse protection: specific advantages over circuit breakers

• SOCOMEC has always stated the advantages of using fuses, both for the safety of personnel and for the protection of equipment. Protection with fuses has many advantages in comparison with circuit breakers, which are obvious in the examples of a huge number of applications.
• Switching devices with fuses provide reliable protection and rupture and can be used both in energy distribution and for motor protection.
• Here are a few advantages of fuses:

Excellent short circuit limitation
The temperature and mechanical effects generated during a short circuit can be significant. The speed of operation of the fuse means that it is much better able to limit the current that occurs during a short circuit, compared with the technology when circuit breakers are used.

Selectivity
Fuses allow absolute selectivity, regardless of the level of short circuit. This ensures a ratio of fuse ratings in the circuit of 1:1.6. This characteristic guarantees a constant supply of electricity.

High breaking capacity
The breaking capacity of the fuses is 100 kA (or more); thus, if you have chosen a product with the right characteristics, you can not worry about the current that occurs during a short circuit.

Visible gap
When the short circuit is eliminated, the energy is absorbed by the silicate sand, stopping the formation of an electric arc, and remains inside the fuse housing.

Visible indication of double shutdown
Load switches ensure the safe replacement of fuses.
