Principles of Shunt Capacitor Bank Application and Protection
When a capacitor element fails, there is an increase in current through the fuse of the failed element. This current consists of two components: • Increase in fundamental frequency current resulting from the decrease in reactance • Increase in transient current, resulting from the discharge from the healthy parallel elements

A fuse is rated for a nominal current, for which it will never open, within ratings (ambient temperature, etc.). A fuse is NOT rated to open at some tiny increment above that current. In fact, fuses are rated to open at several times the rated current-- and, this takes some time to happen. A typical fuse might take some minutes to open at 50% ...
