TWO POSITION FUSED SWITCHES

For applications requiring current limitation and overcurrent interruption through 50kA symmetrical, two styles of current limiting fusing are available.
Canister fuses incorporate a provision for hookstick removal and replacement.

T-BODY ELBOW 600A Interface IEEE Std. 386-1995

CANISTER FUSES
For new orders, integral air insulated, canister style current limiting fusing is available for systems through 23kV. Canister style fused switches feature compact, dead-front construction with mechanical or key interlocking arrangements preventing access to the fuses unless the switch is in the open position. Safe, quick fuse replacement is accomplished using conventional tools and without exposing switch dielectric or current carrying parts to environmental contamination. Two fuses can be connected in parallel to double the capacity rating of the switch. The general purpose fuses are ANSI C37.473.C rated and can interrupt both high and low level fault currents while limiting the available fault current on the system.

CURRENT LIMITING FUSE

LOAD SIDE INTERFACE 200A or 600A (8.3kV unit only) Bushing Well IEEE Std. 386-1995

Elbow mounted fuses attach directly to the 600 A bushing interface on the switch.

ELBOW MOUNTED FUSES

For new orders or retrofit installations, epoxy encapsulated elbow mounted fusing is available for systems through 15.5kV. Elbow mounted fuses are available for direct attachment to 600A bushing interfaces on most styles of G&W switchgear. Standard provision includes threaded studs mounted on the switch mechanism housing to accept support
