Using Peak Let-Thru Tables

Although the characteristics of current-limiting fuses are represented in peak let-thru charts, peak let-thru tables are easier to use.

Based on peak let-thru charts, the tables reflect fuse tests at 15% power factor at rated voltage, with prospective fault currents as high as 200,000 amperes. At each prospective fault current, let-thru data is given in two forms—IRMS and Ip.

Where IRMS is the apparent RMS symmetrical current and Ip is the maximum peak instantaneous current passed by the fuse, the lp let-thru current is 2.3 times IRMS. This relationship exists between peak current and RMS available current under worst-case test conditions (i.e., closing angle of 0° at 15% power factor).

Using let-thru tables saves time and reduces the possibility of errors. The tables are also helpful when comparing the current-limiting capability of various fuses.
