This document summarizes electrical power fuses and cable limiters from Bussmann. It describes K Series cable limiters that have an interrupting rating of 200,000A at 600VAC. It also describes 68000 and 64000 Series welder limiters for fuseholders, which have voltage ratings of 600VAC or less and interrupting ratings of 200,000A. It lists current ratings and specifications for these welder limiters. The document explains that welder limiters are designed specifically for welder circuits to handle intermittent overloading while providing short-circuit protection.

Early dimmers were directly controlled through the manual manipulation of large dimmer panels. This required all power to come through the lighting control location, which could be inconvenient, inefficient and potentially dangerous for large or high-powered systems, such as those used for stage lighting. In 1896, Granville Woods patented his "Safety Dimmer", which greatly reduced wasted energy by reducing the amount of energy generated to match desired demand rather than burning off unwanted energy.[1] In 1959, Joel S. Spira, who would found the Lutron Electronics Company in 1961, invented a dimmer based on a diode and a tapped autotransformer, saving energy and allowing the dimmer to be installed in a standard electrical wallbox.[2][3]
