Line 183:
Some manufacturers of medium-voltage distribution fuses combine the overcurrent protection characteristics of the fusible element with the flexibility of relay protection by adding a [[pyrotechnic]] device to the fuse operated by external [[protective relay]]s.
For domestic applications, [[Circuit_breaker#Low-voltage|Miniature circuit breakers (MCB)]] are widely used as an alternative to fuses. Their rated current depend on the load current of the equipment to be protected and the ambient operational temperature. They are available in the following ratings: 6A, 10A, 16A, 20A, 25A, 32A, 45A, 50A, 63A, 80A, 100A, 125A.<ref>[https://www.electricalclassroom.com/miniature-circuit-breaker-mcb-working/ Miniature circuit breaker (MCB) – Principle of operation]</ref>
