“…A peak arc voltage immediately occurs and because it is higher and opposes the generator voltage, it reduces the current value. The fuse acts as a variable resistance is almost equal to zero when the fusible blow and then increases until it reaches the current zero point while modifying the value of the current and the lag between this value and the generator voltage [14].…”

The article presents an experimental study of high breaking capacity fuses with aluminum fusible element with and without a eutectic point, at minimum rated breaking current, preceded by experiments at maximum rated breaking current. The paper shows that in the construction with aluminum fusible element, the fuse has no problem breaking the maximum rated breaking current, but real difficulties appears when it comes to the minimum rated breaking current. The experiments were made on a homogeneous series 6-20 A, with a focus on the 36 kV, 25 kA, 16 A fuse. The fuses suffered multiple construction changes and tests with and without a eutectic point. After several tests was found an acceptable constructive solution was, but the obtained value for the minimum rated breaking current is not a commercially attractive value. It was also tested the capacity of the fuse to transfer the breaking duty to a load break switch.

“…Therefore, under no circumstances should a fuse assembly be used in the zone of I N and I 3 [6][7][8]. The values of I 3 are generally between 2 and 8 I N [9][10][11][12][13][14][15].…”
