ABSTRACT:
A fault current limiting system includes switching means for providing a fast switching operation; a parallel current path comprising a limiting fuse; and a switching system to automatically replace a blown set of fuses with an unblown set of fuses after a fault current limiting operation has occurred. A method of limiting fault current includes providing a fast switching operation; providing a parallel current path comprising a limiting fuse; and automatically replacing a blown set of fuses with an unblown set of fuses after a fault current limiting operation has occurred.
