S&C Fuse Hoist

Application

S&C Fuse Hoists permit

one person

to remove and to
replace S&C Power Fuses of the following types and
styles:
The SMD Fuse Hoist features a pulley assembly with a
large eye, designed to engage a hook on the SMD mount-
ing. The hook is located next to the upper fuse clip of the
vertical style SMD mounting and on the base of the
inverted style SMD mounting.

Operation

First, the pulley assembly is hung on the hook of the SMD
mounting. Next, the prong is removed from the lifting eye
of the pulley assembly and lowered to the ground where it
is inserted into the lifting eye of the fuse unit. Then, using
the hoist line and the pole, the fuse unit is lifted and
guided into the hinge of the fuse mounting. And nally,
after removal of the fuse hoist from the hook on the SMD
mounting, the fuse unit is closed using a station prong.
The process is reversed when removing the fuse unit.
A snubber mounted at the lower end of the pole
smoothly and positively controls the lowering or raising
of the fuse unit. The operator sets the snubber by a side-
ways pull of the line and releases it by a pull parallel to the
pole. Thus one hand has complete control of the line, leav-
ing the other free to guide the pole.

Construction

Lightweight cast aluminum alloy is employed wherever
practicable to minimize handling effort. The nylon line
combines high strength with light weight. A tough,
smooth, weather-resistant neoprene coating keeps the
line waterproof and nonconductive. The withstand volt-
age of the line is 75 kv per foot for ve minutes. The line is
also available separately, in lengths made up for use with
universal poles of various lengths. These are indicated in
the table below. The pulley is laminated phenolic.

Outdoor Transmission (34.5 kV through 138 kV)

S&C Fuse Hoist

1. HOIST FUSE UNIT. The operator uses the integral prong
on the fuse hoist to lift and install the pulley assembly
on the mounting hook, and then, by use of the hoist-line
and the pole, elevates and guides the fuse unit into the
hinge on the fuse mounting.

SMD Fuse Hoist in Use

2. REMOVE PULLEY ASSEMBLY. With the fuse unit
securely in the hinge, the operator uses the integral
prong on the fuse hoist to lift and remove the pulley
assembly from the mounting hook.
3. CLOSE FUSE. The operator uses a station prong to
swing the SMD Fuse Unit to the fully closed position.
