COMPARISON OF ELECTRICAL BEHAVIOUR BEETWEEN THE LIQUID METAL CURRENT LIMITER AND THE LOW VOLTAGE MELTING FUSE

摘要

Liquid Metal Current Limiter (LMCL) is in previous literature shown as a possible way how to realize a protection device which can break the short circuit current for several times. This article analyses the behaviour of LMCL and his functional principles under short circuit current conditions. The main part of this article consists of analysis of electrical behaviour of a melting fuse and LMCL under same testing conditions. At the end, the conclusions are made regarding future research.
