Overview
Wright and Newbery's classic guide to the world of electric fuses has now been substantially revised and remains the comprehensive reference work on the subject. This third edition includes aspects which have arisen since the second edition including the following: the further analysis of pre-arcing and arcing behavior, retrofitting of expulsion fuses with automatic sectionalizing links, developments in chip fuses and automotive fuses, application information on benefits of fuses, IGBT protection; achflash and power quality, an update on national and international standards and inclusion of glossary of terms. The book as a whole gives a comprehensive treatment of fuses, and is not intended solely for those engaged in fuse development, design and production, but also for those responsible for planning and protection of electrical circuits and networks.Synopsis
This classic reference has been update to include more material on such topics as applications, pre-arcing and arcing behavior, and developments in chip fuses and automotive fuses. Its basic topics include a history of fuse development, pre-arcing and arcing behavior of cartridge fuselinks, construction and types of low-voltage and high-voltage fuses, constructions of miniature, plug and other small fuses, applications (including protection of semiconductor devices), international and national standards, manufacture, quality assurance and inspection. The authors includes references and a glossary of terms. Distributed in the US by Books International. Annotation ©2005 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR
