Abstract

One of the very well-known protections for electrical apparatus against overloads or short circuits is the fuse. It can be used to protect both AC or DC electrical installations and it has also proven its effectiveness in the protection of different loads. This paper describes a three-dimensional model of a DC fuse with two different types of fuselink notches: circular and rhombic. The obtained 3D thermal model can be used to investigate the thermal behaviour of DC fuses in both steady-state and transient conditions at different values of overloads or short circuits. With the aim to validate the proposed 3D thermal model, a series of experimental tests have been achieved. The thermal simulated values are in good concordance with the experimental results (a relative error less than ±6% has been obtained between experimental and simulation data).
