Review: Fuses must be designed and constructed with care to ensure that they perform as required. This book begins by outlining the history and development of fuses. It goes on to describe recent theoretical research into current-interruption processes and describes the construction of a wide range of fuses (low- and high- voltage, miniature, plug and small fuses). Later chapters deal with applications requirements, national and international standards, and quality assurance and inspection procedures. This new edition includes an overview of resettable fuses and fault limiters, additional information pre-arcing and arcing, fuses for telecommunication power systems, and the retrofitting of expulsion fuses, amongst other topics.
