MORSTAR OVERHEAD CUTOUTS

(CẦU CHÌ TỰ RƠI MORSTAR)

Morstar offers both porcelain and polymeric cutouts for systems rated at 15kV and 27kV, the
Polymeric insulator is Silicon Rubber or HDPE for polymeric cutouts. Morstar Cutouts meet and or exceed
all applicable ANSI performance requirements with testing performed at an accredited independent
laboratory.
Morstar cutouts are manufactured with the following features standard: All electrical contacts are
silver plated. Tin plated parallel grooves are standard. Groove 1 handles #6 solid through #6 tranded.
Groove 2 handles #2 solid through 25 mil or 4/0 ACSR. Heavy-duty galvanized sleet shield, arcing horns
and NEMA Type B brackets are standard. Polymeric cutouts are manufactured out of 100% silicone
rubber, not a polymer alloy. All mechanical fasteners are manufactured from 304 stainless steel.

A. FUSE CUTOUT

*Hinge : Basic material is stainless. But upon user's request, can be replace bronze casting.

1- Parallel Connector – Made of tinned bronze for cables from 8 AWG to 4/0 ACSR. To ease the
connection, it can accommodates two conductors with different size in a single connector. Also available
in other models.
2- Upper Contact – Silver to silver; stainless steel springs offers high contact pressure
3- Attachment Hooks – Used as tool support for energized opening as well as to guide the fuse tube
during closing.
4- Fuse Tube – Vulcanized fiber covered with fiberglass and painted with a special UV resistant epoxy.
5- Lower Contacts – Silver to silver; non ferrous springs offer high contact pressure
6- Toggle-joint – Stainless steel construction.

7- Flipper – Stainless steel construction; in conjunction with the toggle joint allows, especially during
closing, the fuse link to be subject to traction forces of over 3 Kgf; it also allows for high speed fuse link
separation
8- Trunnion – Silver plated high strength cast bronze construction; it assists the fuse tube alignment
during closing.
9- Insulator – High strength porcelain in accordance with ANSI, IEC, or made of an ECR fiberglass core

B. LOADBREAK FUSE CUTOUT

The Morstar Loadbreak Cutout was developed to operate in overhead distribution systems rated at 15, 27 and 38 kV grounded
systems with 100 or 200 A nominal currents.

Specially designed to protect transformers, capacitor banks, cubicles, lines and branches.

With this arc chute , the versatility of the Morstar protection equipment is enhanced, allowing on-load openings without the
need of special tools for its operation.

Its characteristics are similar to a type Morstar Standard Cutout, which provides protection from short-circuit and overloads
that just melt the fuselink through the maximum interrupt capacity of the fuseholder.

The Loadbreak opening device enables the lineman to interrupt load current by means of a simple operation with a hookstick.
To break the current, the lineman inserts a hookstick into the operating ring and rapidly opens the device.

Its operation is independent of the lineman’s operating speed for the current is transferred from the top contact of the cutout
to a mechanism with a spring-loaded stainless steel blade during the opening, where the arc is elongated, cools down and
extinguishes itself.

It may be applied on any three-phase system voltage rated at or below the maximum operational rating of the cutout.

This equipment was developed for switching currents up to 300A, by means of an electrolytic copper blade.

The Morstar fuse cutouts designs are tested in accordance with TCVN, ANSI and IEC standards.

Cutout, Temporary 27kV

To provide fuse protection during live- line maintenance, the temporary cutout tool
simply clamps onto primary conductor with a Grip-All clampstick. Brass stud at lower
end accepts clamp on temporary tap jumper. Insultated bushing and hot parts are from
Type C-Polymer cutouts: Upper contact with integral sleet shield and hooks for
operation by loadbreak tool and lower trunnion of cast bronze. Fusetube must be fitted
with fuselink rated no larger than 100 amps.

Cutout, Temporary 27kV W/ Load Disconect

This tool provides a temporary means of connecting and disconnecting equipment or
circuits under load conditions. This tool design does not have a fuse and does not provide
protection for fault or overcurrent conditions. Hot parts are identical to Chance Type C
cutouts, including the tubular-copper disconnect blade. The tool simply clamps onto
primary conductor with a Grip-All clampstick. Brass stud at lower end accepts clamp on
temporary tap jumper. An arc-chute-type interrupter gives the tool its excellent loadbreak
capability. To interrupt load currents, the device makes use of a stainless-steel auxiliary
blade within a Delrin® arc chute. This self- contained loadbreak device operates by a
simple disconnect stick. No special or portable tools are required to operate the unit. To
break the current, just insert a disconnect stick into the operating ring and rapidly open
the device. In the process of opening, the spring-loaded auxiliary blade snaps out through
the arc chute to elongate, cool and extinguish the confined arc. This loadbreaking
