For problems 18 and 19, use the chart from Figure 17-27 to determine the approximate current values for a 60-ampere, 250-volt fuse when the prospective short-circuit current is 40,000 amperes.

18.The instantaneous peak let-through current is approximately _______  amperes.

19.The apparent rms current is approximately ______ amperes.

20. A section of plug-in busway nameplate indicates that the busway is braced for 14,000 amperes. The available fault current is 30,000 amperes. Using Figure 17-27, determine whether a 200-ampere, 250-volt, dual-element fuse will limit the current sufficiently to protect the busway against a possible fault of 30,000 amperes. Explain.
