The fuse is installed in series with the triac
When alternating current (AC) is short-circuited by pressing the button switch A, the triac cuts AC power instantly but the fuse does not burn out
Summary
An increasing growth in world economics has posted a tremendous demand for electrical power. The shortcircuit fault current is, probably, the most destructive event in the power distribution systems.[1] The current can abruptly rise more than 20 times the maximum nominal value. A fuse is a simple, cheap, and small-sized protective device that can be used to interrupt fault currents.[2,3] it is unrecoverable due to being a single-use device, and its reaction time may be longer than expected in some circumstances. The electronic breaker (EB) is known as the most widely used devices to protect the facility from overload in industry.[4,5,6,7] EB can be reset automatically, it has a limited lifetime, number of cycles, and long reaction time.[8,9] High cost to cope with the rising fault current levels is another disadvantage.
