1.Background Introduction​In electrical system protection, fuses serve as critical overcurrent protection components. The accuracy of their selection directly impacts system safety and reliability. Loads with different characteristics (such as motors, lighting systems, and frequently switched equipment) exhibit significant differences in current behavior, including inrush current, starting time, duty cycle, etc. A one-size-fits-all fuse solution cannot meet all scenarios and is highly prone to c

Introduction: Research Background and Core Objectives​​Severity of the Short-Circuit Current Problem​With the continuous expansion of power grid scale and the constant growth of its capacity, the system short-circuit current level has risen sharply, approaching or even exceeding the withstand limits of existing equipment.• ​Data Support:​​ Monitoring indicates that the prospective short-circuit current at some 500kV, 220kV, and even 10kV substations domestically has exceeded 100 kA; the ma

Introduction​The Fault Current Limiter (FCL) is a critical protection device in modern power systems. It is designed to rapidly limit fault currents during system failures such as short circuits, thereby protecting key equipment in the grid from damage and ensuring stable system operation. However, during actual operation, the current limiter itself may also fail due to various reasons. To ensure its reliability, systematic prevention and maintenance strategies must be developed for common faul

Introduction: Research Background and Significance​With the rapid economic development in Southeast Asia, power grid scales continue to expand, and loads keep increasing. This has led to system short-circuit currents approaching or even exceeding circuit breaker interrupting capacity limits, seriously threatening the safety and stability of power grid operations. Meanwhile, EHV transmission lines serve as the backbone for regional power interconnections. Over 70% of faults are single-phase grou

Application Challenge: Bottlenecks of Traditional Short-Circuit Protection Schemes​In modern power grids, particularly in substations of power plants and large industrial parks, the parallel operation of multiple transformers or generators is widely adopted to enhance power supply reliability and energy efficiency. However, this leads to a sharp increase in system short-circuit current levels, often exceeding the rated withstand capacity (e.g., dynamic/thermal withstand current) of existing equ
