One fuse per capacitor unit. Fewer connections equals fewer points of failure. Facilitates easy identification of a failed capacitor as the blown fuse is obvious. Once the standard, now limited to specialty applications. For Increased durability and tolerance of harmonics and transients.
High voltage capacitors are used in equipment made to improve Power Factor, and provide voltage /VAR support. The capacitors use time proven, low loss, highly reliable GE all film dielectric systems. Dielektrol® VIIa Non-PCB insulating fluid is used in our state of the art dielectric fill process.
However, this voltage does help support the system, reducing the duration of a voltage dip in parallel circuits, caused by the fault, just to the melting time of the fuse. The lowest current at which a fuse shows this current-limiting effect, called its “threshold current”, is usually about 20 to 30 times the fuse’s current rating.
It should be noted that while the author started his career (50 years ago, in 1969) working with LV fuses, he has for the last 40 years worked almost exclusively with HV fuses. Therefore, the observations of this paper refer to HV fuses only. There are a number of bodies that have developed HV fuse standards around the world.
Current-limiting describes a class of fuse characterized by their behaviour when the current is sufficiently high to cause them to melt before the first peak of a fault waveform.
The task force commissioned a survey of users and specifiers to determine if there was indeed confusion concerning the different fuse types, and whether changes to the standards were needed. The result of the 1988 survey was that, apparently, HV fuses were not well understood.
