[QUOTE="James Snover, post: 16631365, member: 67454"] Cities. Trains. Power generation plants, to protect the alternators. Arc furnaces. Incoming power to critical places like major hospitals, radar installations, laboratories, military bases. You'd be surprised at how many are out there. Fun electrical fact: according to theory, when a component arcs, voltage drops to zero as current rises to infinity. Current creates heat. That's why the big bang when this fuse lets go. In reality, something always happens to limit the current, like losses to heat and resistance, etc. But for the critical moments of failure, that's the way things are heading: voltage to 0, current to infinity. Disclaimer: I am not an electrical engineer, either. [/QUOTE]
