FOREWORD Although fuses are used in electrical-supply-systems for more than a hundred years now-a-days questions are still open about details of processes running off in a fuse operating in a circuit. Beyond this one finds worldwide efforts to develop new types of fuses with better points for special applications. These international interest on investigations in the field of electrical fuses is reflected by a number of international conferences. Starting with an international conference on fuses 1976 at Liverpool further conferences were held at Trondheim (1984), Eindhoven (1987) and Nottingham (1991). Now the Technical University of Ilmenau is pleased to host the Fifth International Conference on Fuses and their Applications. More than 40 papers are to be presented, the authors being from 16 countries. The participants of the conference are both with companies and universities all around the world. This proves the great international interest on fuses. A very warm welcome is extended to all participants. It is hoped that they will find the conference activities to be both interesting and enjoyable. Mrs. G. Nutsch and I wish to thank the members of the Local Organizing Committee and the members of the German Group of the International Committee for their assistance. Many thanks are also to ZVEI and to DFG for their generous sponsorship. Wolfgang Bother Chairman International Scientific Committee
