There was a discussion about the relative speeds of circuit breakers
versus fuses on this reflector some time ago. I stated that my gut
feeling was that fuses might very well be much quicker responding, based
on less mass having to move a shorter distance in order for the circuit
to be interrupted. I was told that my gut feeling was wrong, wrong,
wrong. Can you refer me to a web site or sites that will show circuit
breaker and fuse response times? I would like to replace my gut feeling
with some real measured data.
