Abstract

The objective of this article was to determine, in practice, whether the break time t w of safety fuses can impact the security level provided by electronic security systems (ESSs) that utilize the aforementioned elements as their components. This was the purpose of the conducted destructive testing aimed at estimating the break times for a certain random number of glass tube, miniature 5 × 20 (mm) fuse links with rapid operating characteristics, without a quenching medium and with a rated overcurrent intensity of 0.5 (A) by the selected manufacturers. For this purpose, a dedicated measuring attachment that enables forcing the flow of overcurrents with selected intensities in the range of 1.5 ÷ 11.5 (A) through the studied fuse links has been developed. The obtained results showed that the ratio of the break times between the best and the worst products in the entire tested range of overcurrents ranges from 5.41 (for 3.5 (A)) to 7.80 (at an overcurrent of 9.5 (A)). Statistical analysis of the measurement uncertainties proved that the obtained results of the break time do not depend on the applied research methodology or measuring equipment but are almost exclusively the result of the manufacturing spread of the tested components. Interestingly, the economic analysis did not bring clear conclusions. In this case, the products with the worst break time t w turned out to be almost three times cheaper than the best fuse-links. What is more, the collective packaging of the product that turned out to be the best was cheaper than the next one in the list by almost USD 2.00.
