I've learned this in Power System Analysis last time but that's on substation scale.
Here in smaller scale, we decide for selectivity of breakers/fuse in swithcboards/MCCs.
Time-current characteristic for breaker
Time-current characteristic for Fuse
Load side have to be more sensitive so that when fault occurs at downstream, the load side breaker will trip first.
Methods of selective coordination
Interlocking may be apply so that if fault occurs at any of the level, the breakers on the other level wont trip.
But now I wonder, what if the upstream is a breaker and the downstream is the fuse. and the fuse is much high rating than the breaker?
How can I determine the coordination?
