If a combination of HRC fuse and circuit breaker is used, the C.B. operates for

  • A. Low overload currents
  • B. short circuit current
  • C. Under all abnormal current
  • D. The combination is never used in practice

Answer: A. Low overload currents

Explanation: In a coordinated protection scheme, the circuit breaker handles normal switching duties and clears low overload currents, whereas high-speed HRC fuses take over to isolate heavy short-circuit fault currents.
