neutral  Hector Aires: "fusible falla catastrofica" "fusible fallo catastrofico" "fusible de falla catastrofica" "fusible de fallo catastrofico" con comillas no tiene ninguna coincidencia en google.

  -> Mi opinión:El fusible falla catastrófica evita que el falla se propague el equipo asociado. No tiene la función de una proteccion de respaldo de proteger al equipo principal ante la mala operación de la protección primaria.Operan con I >> sobrecarga
