Abstract:This paper presents a study of melting current in the commercial glass tube fuses to determine the duration of melt, maximum melting current and maximum power consumption of the fuse in a blowing circuit. A microcontroller is used as a device to measure and collect the values of current, voltage, and power consumption. In the experiments, the glass tube fuses rated of 0.5 A, 1 A, 2 A, 3 A, 5 A, 10 A, 15 A, and 20 A were used. The experimental results show that the melting time were approximately 0.05 s, 0.07 s… Show more
