Frequently Asked Questions
What is a current limiting circuit breaker? A current limiting circuit breaker is a protective device that quickly limits the severity of fault current, protecting the electrical system from damage and reducing fire risk.
What is the advantage of using a current limiting fuse? The primary advantage of a current limiting fuse is its capacity to protect electrical equipment by swiftly breaking the circuit during overloads or short circuits, limiting blast and arc flash exposure, mitigating fires, reducing magnitude of peak let-through current and shielding overdutied equipment from damage and catastrophic failure.
