Provides motor overload, ground fault and short circuit protectionWhen used in circuits subject to surge currents such as those caused by motors, transformers and other inductive components, these fuses can be sized close to full-load amps to give maximum overcurrent protectionThe time delay feature makes it possible to use fuse amperage ratings which are much smaller than those of non-time delay fusesConsiderable cost saving occurs by permitting the use of smaller size switches, panels and fuses themselvesProvides a good deg of short circuit protection (greater current limitation) to help protect downstream components from high fault currentsGives motor running back up protection to motors without extra costsHelps protect motors against burnout from overloads and single phasing when sized properlySimplifies and improves blackout prevention (selective coordination ratios)Dual element fuses can be applied in circuits subject to temporary motor overloads and surge currents to provide both high performance short circuit and overload protection
