short circuit and let-through current
(OP)
does the NEC recognized let-through current from a fuse when calculating short circuit? if not, what section in the NEC does is this stated? thanks!
When was the last time you drove down the highway without seeing a commercial truck hauling goods?

RE: short circuit and let-through current
Then see 240.86 for the requirements for using a "series rating". If you as the engineer are willing to "ensure" that the downstream device will remain "passive" while the fuse does its thing, then 240.86(A) is for you. On the other hand, using a tested combination is a much more accepted approach. The old "up-over-down" method has been discredited for about 15 years, at least.
