Wright and Newbery's classic guide to the world of electric fuses has
been substantially revised and remains the comprehensive reference work
on the subject.
The third edition of the book includes further analysis of pre-arcing
and arcing behaviour, the retrofitting of expulsion fuses with automatic
sectionalising links, developments in Chip Fuses and Automotive Fuses,
application information on benefits of fuses. IGBT protection and arc
flash and power quality. It also provides an update on national and
international standards.
The book begins by describing the very first electric fuses and their
applications, their later development, the introduction of standard
specification and the spread of the use of fuses; and ends focusing on
the updated national and international standards regarding fuses and the
quality assurance and inspection methods used during manufacture to
maintain the necessary high standards.
