🔍 Key Concepts

• Difference between thermal and magnetic protection in circuit breakers • What type of protection responds to heat from overload versus instantaneous short-circuit current • How fuses behave under short-circuit vs long-duration overload conditions

💭 Think About

• Which device is specifically designed to sense an overload over time (sustained overcurrent) rather than only a sudden fault? • For protecting a motor from overheating, do you need something that responds to temperature, current magnitude, or both? • Think about which option can track heating in the motor windings more closely, not just trip on a very high fault current.

✅ Before You Answer

• Identify which options are time-current sensitive and can mimic the motor’s thermal characteristics • Eliminate any device that is intended mainly for instantaneous short-circuit protection • Confirm which device’s name directly suggests a response to heat or temperature rise from overload
