Thus the maximum power loss less
than with pure short circuit. Definition overload and
short-circuit protection
a) Short-circuit protection
Short circuits can occur when the
insulation broken when there is
continued stress the insulating
material. also
shows the maximum permitted power
losses for the fuse inserts various
applications and terminal block
alignments.473 S1. the case pure
short circuit, the maximum permitted
power loss the fuse insert should be
higher than the level for the overload
protection.
2.4. The power loss for a
short circuit overload determined
based the terminal the middle.43 and 384.

The maximum power loss the fuse
should, comparison the individual
alignment, rated lower.
b) Overload protection
With overload protection, cables and
electrical components are protected
against excessive load currents and the
resulting thermal and mechanical
damages.
The heat generated when fuse insert
is activated short circuit low in
comparison overload. This is
because only short pulse occurs with
a short circuit.Definition overload and short-circuit protection

This technical supplement should be
used for determining the size fuse
inserts and fuse terminal blocks.8 1282250000 2012/2013
.
Overload currents can occur with the
following electrical components:
• Cables and busbars power
distribution networks
• Motors
• Transformers
When protecting against overloads, the
heat energy released the fuse inserts
extends over longer period time. Composite alignment fuse
terminal blocks accordance
with IEC 60947-7-3

384. Fuse terminal blocks arranged
individually accordance with
IEC 60947-7-3
A single arrangement describes a
terminal block consisting five
terminals, whereby four feed-through
terminals are arranged around fuse
terminal block.
3. The fuse
terminal blocks arranged a
composite dissipate more thermal
energy during operations.

The maximum power loss the fuse
can, comparison compound
alignment, rated higher because the
individually aligned feed-through
terminals dissipate little thermal
energy.4
