Littelfuse White Paper Explains How to Increase Short Circuit Current Ratings
Available fault currents are increasing in industrial facilities due to a continuously increasing demand for electric power. When available fault currents at the equipment exceed the panel’s SCCR, there can be catastrophic results. Using current-limiting fuses in place of a molded case circuit breaker (MCCB) can increase a panel’s SCCR.
But after making this improvement to the panel, how can you increase the SCCR even further? Download the white paper to learn how.
