---Added the use categories gU, gK and gPV and the corresponding wire protection selection method, and introduced in the gG fuse selection method
Enter the formula "It<=1:45IZ" and Figure 6 "Current used for fuse link selection" (see Chapter 8);
---Added the power factor compensation with a rated voltage of 1kV in Table 6 "Selection of Fuse for Power Factor Compensation Capacitor Protection"
Capacitor selection parameters for 1500V fuse (see Chapter 11);
---Increase the limit requirement for the intersection current Ico in the selection method of the fuse link for motor circuit protection, that is, lower than the contactor and overload
The electric withstand current of the relay contacts (see 13:4);
---Added supplementary information for part of the range of fuse-links and full range of fuse-links used to protect semiconductor equipment, including the protection of rectifiers
The introduction of protective aR fuse, the action requirements of gR and gS fuse, and the addition of fuse for DC circuit semiconductor equipment
The selection method (Chapter 15);
---Added an overview of DC power supplies in DC applications (see 17:1);
--- Added Chapter 19 "Photovoltaic (PV) System Protection" (see Chapter 19);
--- Added Chapter 20 "Wind Power System Protection" (see Chapter 20):

Introduction
Fuses protect all types of equipment and switchgear from overcurrent: Overcurrent may cause the following hazards:
--- Thermal damage to wires or bus bars;
---Metal vaporization;
---Gas ionization;
---Arc, fire, explosion;
---Insulation damage:
In addition to personal injury, shutdowns caused by overcurrent and repairs to damaged equipment may cause huge economic losses:
Nowadays, the fuse is a universal overcurrent protection electrical appliance: In terms of eliminating or suppressing the effects of overcurrent, fuses provide a very
Economical and effective solution:
