Hi,
In one of the posts here, some body talked about
Circuit breakers being faster in operation time than fuses.
An engineer visited our office today and I happened to discuss with him about their facility policy about using Disconnects and Breakers for motor starters.His argument was that they use a disconnect and a fuse instead of a MCP breaker becaucse a fuse is faster in operation than a breaker.
Could you please elaborate, if this argument is justified.
Thanks
