General Description

 

Medium Voltage Fuses

 

Eaton’s entry in the power fusebusiness began over 75 years agounder Westinghouse

 

®

 

Electric. In 1935,Westinghouse introduced the mediumvoltage boric acid expulsion fusefollowed by the medium voltagecurrent limiting fuse. Even today,medium voltage fuses continue to usethe core Westinghouse technology.Eaton continues to build on theWestinghouse technology legacy byengineering higher performance,cost-effective power fuse products.

Eaton medium voltage fuses aremanufactured and tested to therequirements of the ANSI C37.4Xseries of standards.

Eaton is the only North Americanmanufacturer of both current limitingand expulsion medium voltage powerfuses. A full range of general purpose,backup and boric acid fuses isavailable for distribution and powerapplications.

All Eaton medium voltage fuses arethoroughly tested and conform toANSI specifications. Some motorstarter fuses are UR

 

®

 

recognized, andboth current limiting and expulsionfuses have been approved in UL

 

®

 

rated switchgear.

Current limiting and expulsion fuses

can be used to meet any overcurrentprotection need. At any point alongthe medium voltage electricaldistribution system, Eaton has afuse to satisfy your overcurrentprotection needs.

The following fuse terminology willassist in understanding and selectingthe correct fuse. The following is abrief overview of those terms.

 

Power vs. Distribution

 

The differentiation is intended toindicate the test conditions and wherefuses are normally applied in a powersystem, based on specific requirementsfor generating sources, substationsand distribution lines. Each class hasits own unique set of voltage, currentand construction requirements(see ANSI C37.42, .46 and .47).

 

Low vs. Medium vs. High Voltage

 

While fuses are defined in the ANSIstandards as either low or high voltage,Eaton’s Electrical Sector has elected toname their fuses to correspond withthe equipment in which they are

installed. Therefore, per ANSI C84,fuses are named as follows:

 

Low Voltage

 

1000V and below

 

Medium Voltage

 

Greater than1000–69,000V

 

High Voltage

 

Greater than69,000V

 

Expulsion vs. Current Limiting

 

Expulsion Fuse 

 

: An expulsion fuse isa vented fuse in which the expulsioneffect of the gases produced by inter-nal arcing, either alone or aided byother mechanisms, results in current

interruption.

An expulsion fuse is not currentlimiting and as a result limits the dura-tion of a fault on the electrical system,not the magnitude.

 

Current Limiting Fuse: 

 

A current limit-ing fuse is a fuse that, when its currentresponsive element is melted by a cur-rent within the fuse’s specified currentlimiting range, abruptly introducesa high resistance to reduce currentmagnitude and duration, resulting insubsequent current interruption.

Current Limiting Fuses

 

Current Limiting Fuse Types

 

There are three current limiting fusetypes: backup, general purpose andfull range. It is important that the userhave an understanding of these defini-tions to ensure proper application ofthe fuse (

 

Figure 9.0-1).

 

Backup Fuse: 

 

A fuse capable of inter-rupting all currents from the ratedmaximum interrupting current downto the rated minimum interruptingcurrent.

Backup fuses are normally used forprotection of motor starters and arealways used in series with anotherinterrupting device capable of inter-rupting currents below the fuse’s ratedminimum interrupting current.

 

General Purpose Fuse: 

 

A fuse capableof interrupting all currents from therated maximum interrupting currentdown to the current that causesmelting of the fusible element in noless than one hour.

General purpose fuses are typicallyused to protect feeders andcomponents such as transformers.

 

Full Range Fuse 

 

: A fuse capable ofinterrupting all currents from the ratedmaximum interrupting rating down tothe minimum continuous current thatcauses melting of the fusible element,with the fuse applied at the maximumambient temperature specified by themanufacturer.

Current limiting fuses are constructedwith pure silver fuse elements, highpurity silica sand filler, and a glassresin outer casing.

A high fault current melts the silverelement almost instantly and loses

energy to the surrounding sand. Thesand melts and forms fulgurite, aglass-like substance. The arc voltagerapidly increases to nearly three timesthe fuse voltage rating and forces thecurrent to zero.

Low fault current melts a solder dropon the silver fuse element that, in turn,melts the silver. The element burnsback until there is a sufficient internalgap to interrupt the current. This isknown as the M-effect.

Eaton offers current limiting fuses intwo basic types: backup and generalpurpose. Backup fuses are applied in

series with another circuit protectivedevice, such as a contactor or anexpulsion fuse, to interrupt high faultcurrents beyond the other device’srange. General purpose fuses aredesigned to interrupt low faultcurrents that cause them to meltin one hour or less.

Expulsion Fuses

 

RBAE-Rated Refillable Boric Acid 

RDB E-Rated Refillable Outdoor Dropout Boric Acid 

DBU Dropout Boric Acid—for Use Indoors,Inside Switchgear or Outdoors 

 

Eaton’s expulsion fuses use boric acidas the interrupting medium. Under afault condition, arc heat decomposesthe boric acid into water vapor. Thewater vapor blast deionizes the arcpath preventing arc re-ignition aftera natural current zero.

Type RBA indoor expulsion fusesmust be fitted with a discharge filteror condenser that moderates thedischarge exhaust. The dischargefilter limits the exhaust to a smalland relatively inert amount of gasand lowers the noise level withoutaffecting the fuse interrupting rating.Steam discharge, that can effect theinterrupting, is fully restricted bythe condenser.

Type RDB outdoor dropout fusesinclude an ejector spring that forcesthe arcing rod through the top of the

fuse. The arcing rod strikes a latch onthe mounting that forces the fuse toswing outward through a 180° arc intothe dropout position.

Refill units can be field installed intoRBA and RDB expulsion fuses. Oncethe operated unit has been removed,the separately purchased unit can beeasily installed into the fuse holder.

Type DBU fuse units are designedfor new and aftermarket utilityapplications. End fittings are available,in both indoor and outdoor versions,as well as live parts and mountings.Mufflers confine the arc within the

fuse and substantially reduce the noiseand exhaust when the fuse interrupts.

 

Accessories

 

The following accessories are availablefor expulsion fuses:

 

Mountings

 

Mountings include a base, porcelain

or glass polyester insulators, and liveparts. They help enable the fuse to besafely attached to the gear. Mountingscan be either disconnect, non-disconnector dropout. Non-disconnect mountingsare available in either bolt-on or clamp-type arrangements. Fuses may bevertical or underhung.

 

Live Parts

 

Live parts attach the fuse to theinsulators and are considered partof the mounting. All parts above theinsulators are live parts.

 

End Fittings

 

End fittings are metal parts thatattach to each end of the fuse atthe ferrules. They are used only ondisconnect fuses or when convertinga non-disconnect to a disconnect fuse.

Fuses—Medium Voltage

  

Sheet 09

Technical Ratings009

Interrupting Ratings of FusesModern fuses are rated in amperesrms symmetrical. They also have alisted asymmetrical rms rating, whichis 1.6 x the symmetrical rating.

Refer to ANSI/IEEE C37.48 for fuseinterrupting duty guidelines.

Calculation of the fuse requiredinterrupting rating:Step 1—Convert the fault fromthe utility to percent or per unit ona convenient voltage and kVA base.

Step 2—Collect the X and R data of allthe other circuit elements and convertto percent or per unit on a convenientkVA and voltage base same as thatused in Step 1. Use the substransientX and R for all generators and motors.

Step 3—Construct the sequencenetworks using reactances andconnect properly for the type of faultunder consideration and reduce to asingle equivalent reactance.

Step 4—Same as above except using

resistances (omit if a symmetricallyrated fuse is to be selected).

Step 5—Calculate the E/XI value,where E is the prefault value of thevoltage at the point of fault normallyassumed 1.0 in pu. For three-phasefaults E/XI is the fault current to beused in determining the requiredinterrupting capability of the fuse.

Note: It is not necessary to calculatea single phase-to-phase fault current. Thiscurrent is very nearly /2 x three-phasefault. The line-to-ground fault may exceedthe three-phase fault for fuses located ingenerating stations with solidly grounded

neutral generators, or in delta-wye trans-formers with the wye solidly grounded,where the sum of the positive and negativesequence impedances on the high voltageside (delta) is smaller than the impedance ofthe transformer.

For single line-to-ground fault;

XI = XI(+) + XI(-) + XI(0)

Step 6—Select a fuse with a publishedinterrupting rating exceeding thecalculated fault current.

Table 9.0-10 should be used whereolder asymmetrically rated fusesare involved.

The voltage rating of power fusesused on three-phase systems shouldequal or exceed the maximum line-to-line voltage rating of the system.Current limiting fuses for three-phasesystems should normally be appliedso that the fuse voltage rating is equalto or less than 1.41 x nominal systemvoltage. However, the insulation

levels on 2.4 kV systems normallyallow 4.3 or 5.5 kV rated fuses tobe used.

Table 9.0-9. Suggested Minimum Current Limiting Fuse Current Ratings for Self-Cooled 2.4–15.5 kV Transformer Applications—E-Rated Fuses

Note: Fuse ratings represent the fuse that will withstand transformer inrush (12 x FLC for 0.1 second and 25 x FLC for 0.01 second) and be ableto handle temporary overloads (133% of FLC, 150% for 15.5 kV).
