(OP)
Anyone know of a document that describes the pros and cons of each for protection on medium voltage systems? Any opinions or experience?
Thanks.

If we learn from our mistakes I'm getting a great education!

Other than that you can Google the nebulous subject.

Fuses typically have maximum 400A rating while CBs have rating higher than that.
RE: MV protection - fuses vs. cbs
But, there are some no-go zones for MV fuses (ie just above their rated value). Also, as stated CBs offer much more sophisticated protection. Mainly, cherck carefully the limitations on the fuses from a protection and an operating persepctive. In the end you hope for a smaller bang.
