Fuse

The primary function of a fuse is to

• Open the circuit

• Protect the appliance

• Protect the line

• Prevent excessive currents from flow through the circuit

Fuses have got advantages of

• Cheapest type of protection

• Inverse time current characteristic

• No Maintenance

• Current limiting effect under short-circuit conditions

• All of the above

Fusing factor should be

• Equal to zero

• Less than now

• Equal to one

• More than one

Which among these is the least expensive protection for over current in low voltage system?

• Rewirable fuse.

• Isolator.

• Circuit breaker.

• Air breaker switch.
