What should be done if a dual-element time-delay fuse will not let the motor start?
What will be an ideal response?
If for some reason this fuse will not permit the motor to start, it is stated that the rating of a dual-element time-delay fuse may be increased to a maximum of 225 percent of the full-load motor current. It should be noted that since this is a maximum value, the fuse size cannot be increased to the next higher value, but must be reduced to the closest standard value without exceeding the maximum value. For example, for a 248 ampere motor, 248 amperes * 2.25 (225%) = 558 amperes. In this case, a 500-ampere fuse would be employed.
