Capacitor fuses: technical selection guide
Capacitor fuse overview — Capacitor fuse terminology An ideal fuse could be defined as a lossless smart switch that can thermally carry infinite continuous current, detect a preset change in the continuous current and open automatically (instantly) to interrupt infinite fault currents at infinite voltages without generating transients.
The basics of capacitor banks protection
Capacitor bank protection 1. Unbalance relay. This overcurrent relay detects an asymmetry in the capacitor bank caused by blown internal fuses, short-circuits across bushings, or between capacitor units and the racks in which they are mounted.. Each capacitor unit consist of a number of elements protected by internal fuses.

Capacitor Protection
These capacitor fuses provide both short circuit and overload protection and are intended to protect against capacitor case rupture or dielectric failure within the capacitor.
EATON COOPER POWER SYSTEMS LLC FN11B1 Capacitor Fuses
The bus-mounted expulsion-type capacitor fuse provides highly reliable, economical protection for capacitor banks where medium energy interrupting ability is required. In the event of a capacitor fault, excess current will flow through the fuse of the faulted unit. This current causes the fuse element to melt and vaporize.
Capacitor Bank Protection for Simple and Complex …
typically, externally fused capacitor banks have higher failure voltages and currents than fuseless or internally fused banks because an external fuse blowing causes the loss of an entire unit. As a point of reference, fuseless capacitor banks have a unit construction, as shown in Fig. 1 [1]. Capacitor Unit Element Case Internal Discharge ...

The fuse you have selected is a fast acting fuse but the thermal mass of the fuse will unlikely respond in the short time that it takes to charge a 10uF capacitor. You will always have a certain amount of series resistance in the wiring, connectors, PCB traces that also will help to limit inrush current.
A60C | Mersen Electrical Power: Fuses, Surge Protective Devices ...
A capacitor fuse isolates a shorted capacitor before it can damage surrounding equipment or personnel. Typical capacitor failures occur when the internal dielectric can no longer withstand the applied voltage, resulting in a low impedance current path and generating excessive heat and pressure that can cause violent case rupture. Mersen A60C ...
Capacitor Bank : Types, Connections & Its Applications
In this type, the identification of a faulty unit can be done through visual inspection once the fuse unit blows. The capacitor unit rating typically ranges from 50 KVAR – 40 KVAR. This is one of the main specifications. The main disadvantage of this bank is, once any fuse unit fails, then an unbalance can be detected even all the units ...
