Type ICX Interchangeable Cutout

15-38 kV Outdoor Distribution Cutout

Product Bulletin 1VAG271201-DB
 Description
Product Features The ABB ICX interchangeable cutout is used on overhead distribution
• 15, 27, or 38 kV systems to provide overcurrent protection and visible indication of fuse
operation. The ICX provides a visible break sectionalizing point for
• 110, 125, 150, 180, or 200 kV BIL maintenance personnel and is equipped with hooks to use with a
portable loadbreak tool. This allows the ICX to be used as a loadbreak
switch to open the circuit with load current flowing.
• 100 A, 200 A Fused
Silicone or Polymer Concrete insulators, Emission Control Devices
• 300 A Disconnect Blade (ECDs), Seacoast design, cutout/arrester combinations, and Autolink
options are available on certain models.
• Porcelain, Silicone, or Polymer Concrete
Insulators Available Ratings
The ICX cutout is offered in three frame sizes and five BIL ratings.
• Seacoast Design Each of the frames accommodates fuseholders with various ratings.
ICX ratings are 110 kV through 200 kV BIL.
• ECD (Emission Control Device)
Application
• Cutout/Arrester Combo The ICX 100 A fuse is provided with a moisture proof tube as a stan-
dard offering. Cutouts perform by expelling gases during interruption
• Kick-out Spring from the bottom of the fuse tube. For the highest interrupting rating, a
link extender rod is attached to the fuse tube cap, improving the effi-
ciency of gas expulsion and arc interruption. Fuse tubes with more than
one rating are clearly labeled to indicate each interrupting capability.
This minimizes the number of styles that must be stocked, while pro-
viding the broadest range of application flexibility.

Interchangeability
The ICX cutout is designed to be electrically and mechanically inter-
changeable with the S&C type “XS”, A.B. Chance type “C”, and Cooper
type “L” cutouts. Fuseholder caps are also interchangeable with the
S&C design. Testing has confirmed the performance of the ICX fuse-
holder and fuse support with S&C and Chance.

ICX cutout with Standards and Design Testing

arrester combination The ICX cutout meets or exceeds all applicable requirements of EEI,
NEMA SG-2-1986, and ANSI C37.41.1994 and C37.42-1989 standards.

Silicone Rubber
Silicone rubber has been used for more than 25 years as an
outdoor insulation material and has become the fastest
growing choice for polymeric material for medium and high
voltage outdoor insulation. Silicone was selected for its
superior performance, durability, and insulation properties.
It has the unique ability to maintain its hydrophobicity and
offers greater stability against heat and ultraviolet radiation
compared to other polymers. In addition, silicone cutouts
are 30% - 50% lighter than porcelain units. Silicone insula-
tors are available in all ratings up to 180 kV BIL.
Polymer Concrete
ABB has been using polymer concrete for more than 10
years. It is available in the 110 and 125 kV BIL ratings.
Polymer concrete provides a safe, shatter-proof design with
molded-in rods to prevent moisture penetration. Polymer
concrete is cold weather friendly since it resists damage from
freeze/thaw cycles. This makes it an excellent replacement
for porcelain in colder climates. It is a field-proven material
that provides excellent electrical properties and dielectric
strengths, as well as superior mechanical durability.
ICX with ECD
The ICX is available with an Emission Control Device
(ECD). The ECD prevents forest fires and provides added
operator and environment protection. The unlatching oper-
ation of the dropout is unique in the ECD, as it automati-
cally resets to the service position upon closing the dropout
carrier.
Kick-out Spring
All ICX fuse tubes are available with an optional kick-out
spring. The spring assists the drop-out operation by increas-
ing the kick-out force on the tube.

Construction Details
Fuse Tube Construction
The ICX cutouts utilize two different types of fuse tubes: a
moisture-proof fuse tube or a high-strength glass fuse tube.
The moisture proof fuse tube is standard on all 100 A
designs and is notated by the letter "M" in the 8th digit of
the style number (refer to Ordering Instructions on pages
6-7). The moisture-proof tube reduces swelling that can
create problems with interruption.
The 200 A design utilizes a high-strength glass fuse tube
and is notated by the letter "A" in the 8th digit of the style
number (refer to Ordering Instructions on pages 6-7). This
fuse tube is composed of a horn fiber liner surrounded by
a glass filament wound outer shell. The durable tube with-
stands the rigors of high fault current interruptions. In
addition, the tube is applied with electrostatic powder paint
to provide protection against the effects of ultraviolet rays.
Voltage Levels
Single voltage rated cutouts can be applied on any single or
three-phase system where the line-to-line voltage does not
exceed the cutout rating. Dual voltage rated cutouts are suit-
able on single-phase circuits where maximum line-to-ground
voltage does not exceed the value shown to the right of the
slash (for example, does not exceed 27 kV in 15/27 kV).
ICX cutouts may be used on three-phase circuits that are
solidly grounded and the maximum line-to-line voltage
does not exceed the value shown to the left of the slash (for
example, does not exceed 7.8 kV in 7.8/15 kV).
Each frame size has fault interrupting ratings at more than
one voltage level. An extensive testing program was per-
formed to develop these multi-voltage capabilities. As a
result of this program, the voltage rating of some ICX
cutouts may be increased by changing the fuseholder.
