Experimental design of fuse link with ceramic alloy: Cracking problem
Low-voltage (LV) fuse systems, which open a circuit by cutting the current when it exceeds a given value for an adequate period, are used in nonresidential, commercial, and industrial buildings. LV-fuse systems consist of a fuse base, fuse link, and a detachable operating handle. The fuse l...

| Summary: | Low-voltage (LV) fuse systems, which open a circuit by cutting the current
when it exceeds a given value for an adequate period, are used in
nonresidential, commercial, and industrial buildings. LV-fuse systems consist
of a fuse base, fuse link, and a detachable operating handle. The fuse link
is made of a ceramic alloy. In this study, a full-factorial experimental
design with two levels was used to solve the fracture problem of fuse links.
In this scope, performance criteria (compressive strength), factors affecting
the performance criteria (moisture ratio, shaping duration, drying duration,
and firing duration) and factor levels were determined in the initial stage.
Main effects and interactions among factors were investigated, and
factor-level combinations that maximize the compressive strength were
determined according to results of analysis. Finally, the relationship
between compressive strength and experimental factors was presented in the
form of f = y(x) for prediction purposes. |
