Type 1 protection requires that in the event of a short circuit on the
output of a soft starter the fault must be cleared without risk of injury to
personnel. The soft starter may or may not be operational after the fault.
Type 1 protection is provided by HRC fuses or a MCCB within the motor branch
circuit, which must be able to bear the required motor start current.
