Question 11 of 15

12. Why are single-element fuses particularly suited for the protection of circuit breakers with low interrupting ratings?

They can be used in circuits other than motor branch circuits and feeders, such as lighting circuits.

They have a high speed of response to overcurrents.

They can be applied in circuits subject to temporary motor overload.

They have a low speed of response to short circuit currents.
