Short-circuit protection guidelines are provided in Appendix A of this
manual. Enhanced SCR protection may be obtained with the use of
fast acting current-limiting fuses. Table 2.C provides a listing of
fuses that are coordinated to protect the controller SCRs in the event
of a ground fault or short-circuit at the connected load. If SCR fusing
is not used, the controller power modules may be damaged and
require replacement. Supplementary SCR fusing, however, is not
required by the NFPA 70 (National Electric Code).

ATTENTION: The fast acting current-limiting fuses
specified in Table 2.C may not provide branch circuit
protection. Branch circuit protection in accordance
with applicable electrical codes may require additional
fusing (or a circuit breaker) even though fast acting
current-limiting fuses are used.
ATTENTION: Applications requiring extended
acceleration times or high duty cycles may experience
nuisance tripping of the coordinated fast acting current-
limiting fuses. This type of fuse has a limited thermal
capacity that is less than that of the SCRs they are
designed to protect. This makes them susceptible to
thermal fatigue.
