it is stands for high rupturing capacity fuse.

it has a advantage of current limiting featur...so its used
for protection of contactors which may melt for higher
value of current...you can see the autometic starter of
motor has contactors.used for swiching..so fuse is
connected in series with it..after 2 to 3 operation..there
will no us of fuse...as it melts due to overheating...for
30 ka short circuit current..it limits to 10 ka
current.s.c..which is the rating of contactors

When we use air circuit breaker, it has O/L protection ,time delay SC protection, Instataneous SC protection & ground fault protection. They all have some setting range. But what is the suitable/allowable setting for the above protection which will be safe for the equipment? For example-O/L protection setting have a range of (0.4,0.45,0.5,0.55,0.6,0.65,0.7,0.8,0.9,1.0)xIn Time delay SC protection have a range of (1.25,1.5,2,3,4,6,8,10,12)xIn Time delay setting is 0.02,0.1,0.2,0.3,0.4 Instataneous setting is fixed to 20xIn Gound fault setting is given 100A,300A,600A,900A,1200A This setting are for 2500A ACB. So what will be the basic allowable setting for the above protection? is there any formulae to calculate this<
