Measurements of fuse and resistor characteristics for multimegajoule capacitor bank application

Experimental tests have been conducted on commercially available fuses and resistors under fast high‐voltage pulsed (10‐μs) conditions to determine their ability to protect capacitor bank components during faults. Currents in the resistors ranged from 20 to 40 kA per resistor. The experimental resul...

Zusammenfassung:	Experimental tests have been conducted on commercially available fuses and resistors under fast high‐voltage pulsed (10‐μs) conditions to determine their ability to protect capacitor bank components during faults. Currents in the resistors ranged from 20 to 40 kA per resistor. The experimental results for the fuses have been compared to the manufacturer’s data for minimum melt and maximum let‐through action integrals and to exploding bridge wire computer models.
