It the first reclosing interval is one second, we would use the following relation fora fault-curent magnitude oF ‘5000 amperes: Telt= T+ CNX TNT =TN4 9a TN Where TN = 40 (Nth or last fault timing occurs on TL.2) TN+1 = 076 (next-to-last or rt faut timing occurs on INST curve. We mustthen evaluate whetherthe total reclosing eyeie ‘would cause a cumulative heating eftect suthcient to blow. {he fuse. Since the actual open time varies withthe facit timing, this must be done on a point-by-point basis, asin the following examples.
