SMD Thin-Film Fuse

Thus, for current pulse in Figure 3b, the Joule integral is:

{(0.56A)2+0.56A x (1A-0.56A)+

[(1A-0.56A)2]} x 3 x 10-3s = 1.9 x 10-3A2sec.

integral calculation, example #3.

4. Lightning strike

A lightning strike pulse is shown in Figure 4a. After an initial

linear rise, the current declines exponentially.

3. Trapezoidal current pulse

The Joule integral for a trapezoidal pulse is

[(Imin.)2 + Imin. x (Imax. - Imin.) + (Imax-Imin)2] x t,

see Fig. 3a.

According to the I2t graph on page 6, the 0.5A fuse should

be chosen for this application, see Figure 3c.

DESIGNING FOR CURRENT PULSE SITUATIONS (CONT.)

Joule integral for the linear current rise is calculated as for a

triangular pulse, see example #2.

The Joule integral for the exponential decline is

2 x t

0.5 x (-1/2In 0.5) = 0.72Imax.2 x t0.5

Thus, for the sample lightning strike pulse in Figure 4b, the

total Joule integral is:

(25A)2 x 2 x 10-6sec/3+0.72 x (25A)2 x 10 x 10-6sec = 4.92 x 10-3A2sec.

For practical calculations, the duration of exponential decline

may be assumed to be 3t

0.5, because within this time 98.5%

of the pulse energy is released. Thus, the total pulse duration

in this example is 30 μsec, and the 1.25A fuse should be

chosen for this application, see Figure 4c.
