Fuses General
Product Overview
Disconnect Mounting
The disconnect mounting
allows the fuse unit to be
removed (off load) using an
insulated switch stick. The
switch stick grabs a pull ring
and disconnects the fuse unit
that may then be lifted out of
its mounting.
Dropout Mounting
Dropout mountings are
used in outdoor applications.
The fuse unit is equipped
with a mechanical trigger that
unlatches the upper contact,
allowing the fuse unit to drop
out, increasing the dielectric
separation, and providing
visible indication of a
blown fuse.
Live Parts
Live parts were briefly
discussed as part of the
Mounting definition.
Everything above the
insulators on the mounting
excluding the fuse unit, fuse
holder, and the fuse end
fittings (if required) are
considered the live parts. Fuse
end fittings are discussed
next and are not required
with non-disconnect live
parts, but are required and
included with disconnect live
parts. Live parts may be sold
separately as replacement
parts or for new OEM
applications.
End Fittings
End fittings are metal parts
that attach to each end of a
fuse units ferrules (end caps).
As previously mentioned,
they are used solely with
disconnect fuse applications
or when converting a nondisconnect to a disconnect
fuse configuration.
When end fittings are
ordered, a fitting for each end
of the fuse is included. Keep
in mind that end fittings can
become damaged in use and,
therefore, are sold separately
from the live parts when
necessary. It is not necessary
to purchase an entire set of
live parts when only the end
fittings are required.
