Peak Let-Through Curves . Peak let-through curves show the maximum instantaneous current through the fuse during the total clearing time.This represents the fuse''s current-limiting ability.Current-limiting fuses open severe short circuits within the first half-cycle (180 electrical degrees, which is equal to about 8.33 ms) after the fault occurs.Current-limiting
For single-phase: Motor fuse rating = P kW x 1.25 / (pf x V (V)). In other words, the fuse rating is equal to 1.25 times the full load current. For Three-phase: Motor fuse rating = P kW x 1250 / (1.732 x power factor x V (V-L)). V (V-L) = Line to Line Voltage in volts.. For continuous operation, the fuse rating is less than the 125% is not recommended since all the motor is designed to run

Physical Dimension and Mounting Style are Factors in Capacitor Selection. The last but not the least to think about is the physical dimension as well as the mounting style. Sometimes capacitor selection is dictated by the space available. Chip capacitors has small footprints but with limited capacitance value.

Time-delay fuses are most useful in the startup of high-powered motors. The delay which they provide can help to prevent nuisance tripping. Knowing which fuse to use depends on the requirements of the control circuitry. Typically, time-delay fuses are used for inductive and capacitive loads, while fast-acting fuses are selected for resistive loads.

The fuse protecting the capacitor is chosen such that its continuous current capability is equal to or greater than 135% of rated capacitor current for grounded-wye connected racks, and 125% for ungrounded-wye racks. This overrating includes the effects of overvoltage, capacitor tolerance, and harmonics.
Most capacitor fuses have a maximum power frequency fault current that they can interrupt. These currents may be different for inductive and capacitively limited faults. For ungrounded or multi-series group banks, the faults are capacitive limited.
The capacitor must be able to absorb this energy with a low probability of case rupture. Fuses are usually applied with some continuous current margin. The margin is typically in the range of 1.3 to 1.65 per unit. This margin is called the fusing factor.
The CIL current-limiting capacitor fuse has a two-part design. The high current section interrupts high 60 Hz fault currents and/or high frequency discharge current from parallel capacitors. The low voltage section consists of a standard NEMA Type K fuse link mounted in a fiber tube.
An ideal fuse could be defined as a lossless smart switch that can thermally carry infinite continuous current, detect a preset change in the continuous current and open automatically (instantly) to interrupt infinite fault currents at infinite voltages without generating transients.
Either of these two effects can impede the proper operation of the fuse. In the event of a capacitor fault, excess current will flow through the fuse of the faulted unit. This current causes the fuse element to melt and vaporize. An arc will form across the vaporized section within the fuse tube.
