Selectivity of Protection in Electrical Installations: NH Fuse-Link vs. Miniature Circuit Breaker
The selectivity of protective devices is a crucial consideration when designing low-voltage installations. The goal of selectivity is to minimize the consequences of a fault. Only the faulty part of the installation should be disconnected, while the rest remains operational. Selectivity is achieved if the fault is cleared by the protective device closest to the fault without triggering other protective devices.
