Factors affecting short circuit fault

Short-Circuit fault allows the current to flow through unintended path with very low impedance, which results into excessive current flow through the path.

What is I2t – Let through Energy ?

I2t – Let through Energy is available thermal energy resulting from Current Flow during circuit opening in Fuse, MCCB, MCB.Unit is A2S (Ampere2 Second)
