  "field": "Industrial and trades",
  "definitions": [
    "The maximum current or energy that passes through a protective device, such as a fuse or circuit breaker, during a fault condition before the device operates to interrupt the circuit. This value indicates the level of stress the downstream equipment will experience. Manufacturers specify let-through current and energy values in their product datasheets, often in amperes or joules.",
    "The maximum current or energy that passes through a protective device, such as a fuse or circuit breaker, during a fault condition before the device interrupts the circuit. This value indicates the amount of stress the downstream equipment will experience. Lower let-through values indicate better protection for connected electrical systems."
