kurzschusschutz
Kurzschusschutz, or short-circuit protection, is a critical aspect of electrical safety and system reliability. It refers to the measures and devices implemented to prevent damage and hazards caused by electrical short circuits. A short circuit occurs when an unintended low-resistance path is created between two points in an electrical circuit that are at different potentials, typically between a live conductor and a neutral or ground conductor, or between two live conductors. This results in a sudden, massive surge of current, far exceeding the normal operating current.
The primary goals of kurzschusschutz are to limit the magnitude and duration of this excessive current. Unchecked,
Common devices employed for kurzschusschutz include fuses and circuit breakers. Fuses contain a wire that melts
