Operating Principles of Cooper Bussmann® Fuses
The principles of operation of the modern, current-limiting
fuses are covered in the following paragraphs.
Non-Time-Delay Fuses
Figure 1. Cutaway view of typical single-element fuse.
The basic component of a fuse is the link. Depending upon the
amp rating of the fuse, the single-element fuse may have one
or more links. They are electrically connected to the end
blades (or ferrules) (see Figure 1) and enclosed in a tube or
cartridge surrounded by an arc quenching filler material.
Cooper Bussmann® Limitron® and T-Tron® fuses are both
single-element fuses.
Under normal operation, when the fuse is operating at or near
its amp rating, it simply functions as a conductor. However, as
illustrated in Figure 2, if an overload current occurs and
persists for more than a short interval of time, the temperature
of the link eventually reaches a level which causes a restricted Figure 2. Under sustained overload, a section of the link melts and an
arc is established.
segment of the link to melt. As a result, a gap is formed and an
electric arc established. However, as the arc causes the link
metal to burn back, the gap becomes progressively larger.
Electrical resistance of the arc eventually reaches such a high
level that the arc cannot be sustained and is extinguished. The
fuse will have then completely cut off all current flow in the
circuit. Suppression or quenching of the arc is accelerated by
the filler material. (See Figure 3.)
Single-element fuses of present day design have a very high
speed of response to overcurrents. They provide excellent
short-circuit component protection. However, temporary, Figure 3. The “open” single-element fuse after opening a circuit

openings unless these fuses are oversized. They are best
used, therefore, in circuits not subject to heavy transient surge
currents and the temporary over-load of circuits with inductive
loads such as motors, transformers, solenoids, etc. Because
single-element, fast-acting fuses such as Limitron and
T-Tron fuses have a high speed of response to short-circuit
currents, they are particularly suited for the protection of circuit
breakers with low interrupting ratings.
Whereas an overload current normally falls between one and
six times normal current, short-circuit currents are quite high. Figure 4. When subjected to a short-circuit current, several sections
The fuse may be subjected to short-circuit currents of 30,000 of the fuse link melt almost instantly.
or 40kA or higher. Response of current limiting fuses to such
currents is extremely fast. The restricted sections of the fuse
link will simultaneously melt (within a matter of two or three-
thousandths of a second in the event of a high-level fault
current).
The high total resistance of the multiple arcs, together with the
quenching effects of the filler particles, results in rapid arc
suppression and clearing of the circuit. (Refer to Figures 4 & 5)
Short-circuit current is cut off in less than a half-cycle, long
before the short-circuit current can reach its full value (fuse

When the short-circuit current is in the current-limiting range of a fuse, it is not possible for the full available short-circuit current to flow through the fuse – it’s a matter of
physics. The small restricted portions of the short-circuit element quickly vaporize and the filler material assists in forcing the current to zero. The fuse is able to “limit” the
short-circuit current.
Overcurrent protection must be reliable and sure. Whether it is the first day of the electrical system or thirty or more years later, it is important that overcurrent protective
devices perform under overload or short-circuit conditions as intended. Modern current-limiting fuses operate by very simple, reliable principles.

Better Protection Against Motor Single Phasing
When secondary single-phasing occurs, the current in the
remaining phases increases to approximately 200% rated full
load current. (Theoretically 173%, but change in efficiency and
power factor make it about 200%.) When primary single-
phasing occurs, unbalanced voltages occur on the motor circuit
causing currents to rise to 115%, and 230% of normal running
currents in delta-wye systems.
Dual-element fuses sized for motor running overload protection
will help to protect motors against the possible damages of
single-phasing.

limitation and a short-circuit interrupting rating of up to 300kA
(RMS Sym.). Cooper Bussmann® Class R fuses include Class
RK1 Low-Peak® and Limitron® fuses, and RK5 Fusetron fuses.
They have replaced the K1 Low-Peak and Limitron fuses and
K5 Fusetron fuses. These fuses are identical, with the
exception of a modification in the mounting configuration called
a “rejection feature.” This feature permits Class R fuses to be
mounted in rejection type fuseclips. “R” type fuseclips prevent
older type Class H, ONE-TIME and RENEWABLE fuses from
being installed. The use of Class R fuse holders is thus an
important safeguard. The application of Class R fuses in such
equipment as disconnect switches permits the equipment to
have a high interrupting rating. NEC® Articles 110-9 and
230-65 require that protective devices have adequate
capacity to interrupt short-circuit currents. Article 240-60(b)
requires fuse holders for current-limiting fuses to reject
non-current-limiting type fuses.
