When does a current limiting fuse not operate?
Current limiting fuses operate in two modes, depending on the magnitude of the fault current. The first is operation in the overload mode where the fault current is below the threshold current for the fuse. In this mode, the fuse does not operate during the first major half cycle, and does not limit the magnitude of the fault current.
