 Fusing Products

Type XS Cutout
Fuse Tubes are readily inserted in
the cutout hinge and easily closed,
without any need for careful
steering or manipulation on the
part of operating personnel - even
from extreme angles and under
adverse conditions of light and
weather.

Loadbuster® Tool
is the original lightweight,
easy-to-use portable loadbreak
tool. For use with disconnects,
cutouts, power fuses, and fuse
limiters, S&C’s portable loadbreak
tool provides a better way of
switching on your distribution
system.

SMD® Transmission
Power Fuses
S&C’s SMD Power Fuses provide
reliable, economical protection for
transformers and capacitor banks
in outdoor substations through 138
kV. They incorporate precision-
engineered nondamageable silver
or nickel-chrome fusible elements
with time-current characteristics
that are precise and permanently
accurate — assuring not only
dependable performance, but also
continued reliability of system
coordination plans.

COPPER
& TIN ELEMENTS
Copper and tin fuse elements
do not absorb heat effectively. As
these fuses carry currents that are
close to their minimum melting
point, they can become damaged.
This effects their ability to accurately
interrupt the fault currents they were
designed for. Over time, fuse links
become less tolerant of heating
and operate under load
currents or low fault
currents.
STRAIGHT
DESIGN
When a fuse element is
straight, its design is less
tolerant to the mechanical stress
caused by daily changes in load
currents or surges. This can lead
to damages to the fuse element,
a nuisance operation, and an
unplanned outage for
your customers.
SOLDER
CONNECTION
Low-temperature soldered
connections provide a poor
electrical joint for current
transfer. When the fuse element
connection is compromised, the
fuse link will operate and will
often lead to a nuisance
operation.
Positrol® Fuse Links
SILVER
ELEMENTS
Silver melts at 960° C, a much
higher temperature than other
elements. During 90% of its
melting time, silver is in the heating
phase and absorbs a lot of heat
before changing state. This allows
fuse links with silver elements to
carry currents that are very close
to the minimum melting time
without any damage to the
element itself.
HELICALLY
COILED
When a fuse link is installed in
a cutout it is subject to mechanical
tension. As the element in the link
heats and cools under typical load
currents, the element expands and
contracts. A helically coiled design
allows for these mechanical and
electrical stresses. This avoids
damage to the fuse element
under normal operating
conditions.
SWAGING
CONNECTION
How a fuse element is
connected to the fuse link
influences how reliably it will
operate. Swaging allows the fuse
element to be securely attached to
the other components of the fuse
link. This provides a reliable
connection for current transfer
and a secure connection while
the fuse link is subject to
mechanical tension.
