Fuses or circuit breakers?

Both have their advantages – but how can you be sure that you’re choosing the right product for the right application?

Avoiding electrical accidents at work and preventing fatalities is top of every agenda - so selecting the right protection device could be one of the most important decisions you make.

Not only will the right protection device minimise electrical risk and the impact of electrical failures – it will also improve availability.

This White Paper examines:

  • electrical risk,
  • switching and protection,
  • exploring the characteristics of both fuses and circuit breakers with a focus on motor protection and type 2 co-ordination,
  • short-circuit and overload protection.

For the latest expert guidance in choosing the most appropriate protection device for your application – as well as helping you to understand your responsibilities in the selection, use and maintenance of low voltage equipment.
