🔍 Key Concepts

• Time-delay (time lag) fuses / dual-element fuses and what they are designed to withstand • The difference between normal inrush (starting) current and a short-circuit or fault current • Which shipboard circuits naturally have a brief high inrush current when first energized

💭 Think About

• Think about which of these circuits will often draw a much higher current for a short time when first energized, even though they are operating normally. • Ask yourself: In which circuit would an ordinary fast-blow fuse nuisance-trip during normal operation because of temporary high current? • Consider which circuits must be protected from overloads and faults, but still allowed to experience short high currents without blowing the fuse.

✅ Before You Answer

• Identify which listed circuit type normally has a high inrush / starting current as part of regular operation. • Remember that a time-delay fuse allows brief overcurrent but still protects against sustained overloads and faults. • Eliminate options where currents should be instantaneously interrupted without delay for safety (e.g., alarms or emergency circuits).
