I guess that I missed the point that these were fuses such as KTKR or FNM, FRS, DLN, DLS, to medium voltage fuses such as current limiting and expulsion fuses which are often as large as you forearm. I normally dealt with the medium voltage fuses and their applications and coordination but not LV fuses even though I sold fusible panel and switchboards correct fuse sizing was the only topic but never an application/coordination issue. Medium voltage fuses, fuse holders, etc are some serious issues.
Anything smaller than that were never any consideration which the OP may have been referring to since the discussion now has included glass type fuses. As I recall in my person experience glass fuses are commonly used for 120v and I I believe there are 250v rated glass fuses such as the busman Pk5, Ferraz Shawmut GSB, Mersen GDG5, etc.
