Dear User,
Well,
we asked you to keep your fingers crossed and
it seems to have worked because you are now
reading the award-winning VoltiBULLETIN!!! On
the 20th September at the prestigious Electrical
Industry awards, VoltiBULLETIN scooped the award
for 'Outstanding Communication within the Electrical
Industry'. For more information on the award
and the night, click on the banner at the top
of the bulletin.
This
month, you can learn about more about that old
chestnut, the debate about whether fuses or
circuit-breakers are best for protection:
The
argument is an old one – which to use:
fuses or circuit-breakers as electrical safety
or equipment protection devices? The argument
was almost done to death a decade ago, yet today,
when the fuse is still older and circuit-breakers
have developed still further, the time is ripe
to revisit this debate. Reliable circuit protection
devices are required wherever electrical current
flows. Such devices are fuses, miniature circuit
breakers (MCBs), and moulded case circuit breakers
(MCCBs). They protect cables and other electrical
equipment, as well as cutting the danger of
fire occurring through electrical fault. In
reality, the old argument of fuses versus fuseless
technologies is not of value – the one
is not intrinsically better than the other.
Each technology has pros and cons.
