ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE A fusible element for a current-limiting fuse comprises a metal ribbon having groups of holes therethrough and therealong. The distance along the ribbon between adjacent holes in a group is less than the distance along between adjacent groups. The lateral width of the ribbon between the hole groups is greater than its laterial width where the holes are located. The ribbon initially melts at the holes and multiple arcs burn back the ribbon at a first rate until the ribbon containing the holes is consumed, following which merger of the arcs occurs. This merger and the greater width of the ribbon between the groups results in burn-back of the ribbon at a second reduced rate. In this way, both 9 kv and 15 kv fault currents may be interrupted without exceeding the spark-over voltage of phase-to-ground arrestors when 9 kv fault currents are interrupted.
