Fusing strategies for the dual-voltage fault

This thesis focuses on the 42V - 14V fault in a dual voltage system and discusses the possibility of effective fusing. A simple model for the system had been created from technical documentation. Based on the model and the goal of achieving a stable state through fusing, constraints are set on the load fuse currents and circuit parameters. Further, modifications to the circuit have been theorized and evaluated for their ability to bring the circuit to the stable state. The thesis concludes with an effective fusing strategy based on actively detecting the fault and taking corrective actions.
