DC Circuit Breaker

Must DC circuit breakers always be bipolar?

For a 24V switch-mode power supply branch, I used a single-pole DC circuit breaker, with the negative pole subjected to equipotential bonding (previously, I even directly used AC breakers as substitutes—the main difference being arc-extinguishing performance, but how significant can the arc be in a

10kV Expulsion-Type Fuse | Structure, Selection & Installation Safety Guide

Fuses are connected in series in a circuit. When the current through the fuse element is less than or equal to its rated current, the element will not melt. Only when the current exceeds the rated value and reaches the fusing current will the element melt. When a short circuit (or overload) current
