The upper contacts shall be protected from any airborne contaminants. Stationary and Movable Contacts The Stationary and Movable Contact surfaces shall be silver plated to minimise the contact resistance. The upper stationary contact assembly shall be provided with a safety latch to prevent the fuse carrier from dropping due to vibration. A back up spring made out of stainless steel or phosphor bronze shall be provided to ensure constant pressure between the upper stationary contact and the upper movable contact of the fuse carrier.

ii) iii) iv) v) 6.4 i) ii) iii)

iv)

The lower stationary contact support and the fuse carrier shall be machined at the swiveling or axle point to enable the fuse carrier with the fuse link to be correctly guided into the latching position by an operating rod. The hinge at the stationary contact shall be so designed to prevent the dropping off of the fuse carrier in the drop-out position, due to shock and vibration. A suitable guiding arrangement shall be provided in the upper contact to ensure easy engagement of the fuse carrier.

Fuse Carrier i) The fuse carrier shall be of fibreglass epoxy, or suitable insulating tubing for outdoor use with suitable inner layer for generating arc quenching gas and the outer layer of the insulating tubing shall be protected against deterioration due to Ultra-violet Radiation of the Sun. The fuse carrier shall be suitable for use with removable button head type fuse links and interrupting the fault current stipulated in Clause 5.0 above.

ii)

iii) iv)

The lower part of the fuse carrier shall be of a suitable spring loaded stainless steel flipper arranged toggle mechanism to ensure wiping action during arc interruption and fast clearance drop-out sequence. The installation and removal of the fuse carrier shall be facilitated by inserting the operating rod into a lifting eye at the hinge end (lower) of the fuse carrier when it is in the dropped out position. An operating lever eye shall be provided at the top of the carrier to facilitate a downward pull by the operating rod to release the latch incorporated in the stationary upper contact. The design of the fuse carrier shall be such that the Insulating tubing could be replaced in the event the same is damaged or burned.
