Current l imit ing HV fuse l inks spl it into threeinternationally recognised types: back-up (or partialrange) fuse links, which will interrupt any currentfrom their rated breaking capacity down to a minimumbreaking current specified by the manufacturer; andgeneral purpose fuse links, which will interrupt allcurrents from rated breaking capacity down to acurrent that will melt the elements within one hour.A third type is the full range fuse. This term appliesto fuse links that can interrupt any current belowthe rated breaking capacity that melts the fuseelements satisfactorily.

Current limiting back-up fuse links are the closest inconstruction to LV cartridge types. However, a longer stripelement with many more restrictions is necessary toproduce the large number of series arcs needed tointerrupt a high voltage. Fuse manufacturers achievethis by coiling the element around a ceramic core with astar shaped cross section. In this way, a 1m long elementcan be fitted into a 250mm long fuse body. If the adjacentcoils are too close, there will be a flashover betweenthem and this sets a practical limit on how long anelement can be crammed into a particular cartridge, andhow many elements can be used in parallel.

Like an LV cartridge fuse link, an HV fuse link of thistype has a ceramic body.

Many HV current limiting fuse links are also fitted witha striker mechanism. This not only provides the userwith a visual indication that the fuse link has operated,but can also be used to operate other switchgear. Inthis way, a fuse on a single phase system can cut off allthree phases if a fault occurs.

Striker mechanisms are driven by explosive charges orcompressed springs. Both are triggered by a thin fusewire running the length of the fuse, usually through thecentre of the star shaped core. The wire is connected

in parallel with the elements, so a current flowsthrough it when the elements melt. The currentheats up the wire and detonates the explosivecharge, or melts the wire andreleases the spring,pushing the striker pin out of the fuse link’s endcap. A lock washer mechanism makes it impossibleto push the pin back into the fuse body.

There are several variations on this design for specificapplications. For example, the elements in three-phase motor protection fuse links are corrugated towithstand the cyclical mechanical stresses inducedby the high starting and stopping currents drawnby the motor.

M- effect

Bussmann high voltage fuse links include M-effect as a design feature to enhance performance. M-effect

(named after its discoverer, Prof. Metcalf, in the late 1930s) consists of applying overlay spots of special low

melting alloy onto the fuse element strips. Its effect is to ensure that the fuse link runs cooler in service and

that the maximum temperature reached during fuse operation is kept down to a modest 160 deg. C

(compared with 300 - 400 deg C for fuse links which do not employ this feature).

M-effect has been in widespread use in both low voltage and high voltage fuse links of British design for

many years and is now coming into use in many other countries. Cooler running M-effect fuse links have

longer service life since lower surface temperature on the elements ensures against long term embrittlement

of the material. The M-effect spots are stable and have been proved by many tests to remain inert for

periods of 30 years or more.

The low maximum operating temperature of M-effect fuse links ensures safe operation of Back-up types in

striker tripped switchgear under low fault conditions. Whereas non M-effect types are known to have a risk

of body fracture because of their much higher body temperature under such conditions. The low maximum

operating temperature also ensures against damage to heat sensitive fuse enclosures such as cast resin

fuse pods.

In short, M-effect fuse links are safer, give better protection and are longer lasting than alternative designs

which do not employ this valuable feature.

Essentially, non-current limiting fuse links have shortelements and incorporate some means of lengtheningthe arc after the element melts, extinguishing the arcand preventing re-ignition. There are two distinct types:expulsion fuse links and liquid fuse links.Expulsion fuses are an effective way of protectingoverhead distribution lines and transformers. They aredesigned for outdoor use only and comprise a tin orcopper fuse element in series with a flexible braid in atube. The tube forms one side of a triangle, with alatched connection at the top and a hinge at thebottom. The braid emerges from one end of the fuselink and is held in tension by a spring.When the element melts, the braid is no longer undertension, the latch is released and the fuse swings

downwards under gravity, breaking the circuit. As thefuse swings downwards, the arc is lengthened,extinguished and prevented from restriking.Liquid fuse links are based on early non-currentlimiting fuse links which use liquids to quench the arc.The fuse element is anchored to the top ferrule of aglass tube filled with a quenching liquid - usually ahydrocarbon. The rest of the tube is filled with aspring that holds the element - or a strain wire in veryhigh voltage fuse links - in tension.When the element melts, the spring pulls the twoparts of the element apart, extending the arc andquenching it in the liquid.

DIN - Fuse Links

Fuse Links comply with DIN dimensional standard DIN43625.

‘F’ range, high performance full range fuse link.

‘S’ range, high performance back-up fuse link, with striker tripping.

‘A’ range, including high current rating back-up fuse link.

Comply with IEC 60282-1 and VDE 0670 part 4.

Wide variety of ratings, 3.6 kV to 36 kV.

Versions suitable for indoor and outdoor use.

Motor circuit fuse link option.

Bussmann DIN ‘S’ Fuse Links

The time current characteristics of the ‘S’ range is optimised to ensure improved discrimination with upstream devices and to give fast clearance of earth faults in the secondary terminal zones. The breaking performance with low over currents is adequate to cater for all normal distribution applications, where low voltage fuse links on the secondary side take care of low overload faults, leaving the high voltage fuse links to clear major faults ahead of LV protection. The fuse links are suitable for use even where there is no secondary LV protection, provided that they are used in fuse switches fitted with instantaneous striker tripping.

Bussmann DIN ‘F’ Fuse Links

The ‘F’ range fuse links have ‘full range’ clearing capability. Bussmann ‘F’ types are designed to clear all overloads right down to fuse’s rated current in accordance with latest IEC 282-1 requirements. They are thus suitable for use as a sole form of protection. ‘F’ range time current characteristics are especially advantageous for transformer protection applications.

Bussmann DIN ‘A’ Fuse Links

This earlier, well proven design, has values of minimum breaking current between the ‘S’ and ‘F’ range including higher current ratings.

Notes

a) 17.5kV fuse links in 10/12 dimensions are offered, since some switchgear in the 10/12 series is suitable for use at higher voltages.

b) Fuse links listed are normally for indoor use but versions suitable for outdoor use are olso available in the same ratings and dimensions. For outdoor versions of the ‘S’ range, replace the ‘S’ with a ‘T’ when ordering - for example ‘TDLSJ’

c) * All the fuse link code references listed in the proceeding tables are for striker fitted versions, for non-striker versions please replace the letter ‘S’ with the letter ‘N’ in the code - for example ‘SDLNJ’. For further information on our parts referencing system, please refer to section 10 of this catalogue.

General guide to the selection of DIN Fuse Links for use in the primary circuit of three phase transformers

1. The fuse link should withstand transformer magnetising inrush currents, taken as 12 times full load current for 0.1 seconds.

2. The fuse link should discriminate with the rating of secondary fuse link stated or where only individual cable exit protection exists, the highest rating likely to be used.

3. The fuse link should operate within 2 seconds for transformers complying with IEC60076 - 5 in respect of impedance, voltage and short circuit withstand current.

4. The fuse link should operate reasonably quickly in the event of a transformer internal fault, or an earth fault in the secondary terminal zone of the transformer.

5. In the case where there is no secondary fuse link for overload protection, the minimum recommended HV fuse link rating applies to the use of fuse links in encapsulated enclosures where permissible continuous overload is generally limited to 20% of transformer full load current. However if greater overload currents are permissible a higher rating of fuse link may be required. Where the fuse link is used in open air or conditions of unrestrictedventilation a higher permissible overload may be possible.

6. In most cases more than one rating of HV fuse link is recommendedfor a particular transformer size. Choice of fuse link will then depend on which fuse offers the best protection e.g. having one fuse for several transformer sizes.

Recommendations for other voltages are available on request.

In the case where there is no secondary fuse link for overload protection, the minimum recommended HV fuse link rating applies to the use of fuse links in encapsulated enclosures where permissible continuous overload is generally limited to 20% of transformer full load current. However if greater overload currents are permissible a higher rating of fuse link may be required. Where the fuse link is used in open air or conditions of unrestrictedventilation a higher permissible overload may be possible.

6. In most cases more than one rating of HV fuse link is recommendedfor a particular transformer size. Choice of fuse link will then depend on which fuse offers the best protection e.g. having one fuse for several transformer sizes.

Recommendations for other voltages are available on request.

Selection of these HV fuse links has been based on the following:

Motor Fuse Links

Bussmann Motor Fuse Links

The Bussmann range of motor fuse links are designed to meet the specific requirements necessary for motor protection. During the starting cycle of direct on-line motors, the fuse elements will reach a considerably higher temperature than during normal operation; (this is due to the the high amount of current the motor will draw as it starts,typically, 6 times its normal load current value). This results in expansion and contraction of the fuse elements and could cause premature operation of the fuse.

Bussmann motor fuse links encompass an advanced design to minimise this effect. This therefore, negates the need to over specify the fuse rating due to high values of of motor starting current.

Bussmann motor fuse links operate extremely quickly under heavy fault currents, resulting from the time / current characteristic. Low power dissipation ensures low temperature rise, important in multi-tier starters for example. Switching (Arc), voltages are lower than permitted values, therefore, 5.5kV fuses are also suitable for 4.8kV and 2.4kV circuits.

Motor fuse links comply with IEC60282-1, IEC644 and BS5907.

Available in DIN 43625 and BS2692 dimensions.

Sold in a wide range of ratings from: 3.6 kV – 5 to 450 A 7.2 kV – 5 to 355 A

North American dimensioned products also available. 2R to 24R ratings.

Application

Fuse Links provide short circuit protection in motor circuits to both the motor starter and cables from the starter to the motor.Overload protection is provided by the motor starter, generally by an overload relay and contactor. Combination striker trippingmay also form part of associated equipment which houses the fuse links and motor starters.

Application Procedure

For any motor the fuse current rating is determined by magnitude and duration of starting current, except in a few situationswhere the starting currents are very light. The fuse current rating should therefore be selected as follows:

Direct-on-line Starting

In the absence of specific information the starting current can usually be taken to be six times the motor’s full load current.The starting time will depend on the type of the drive but will be approximately as follows:

Pump Motors - 6 seconds

Mill Motors - 10 to 15 seconds

Fan Motors - 60 seconds

These are average values and the appropriate figures for starting current and starting time for actual installation should be obtainedwherever possible.

Multiply the starting current by 1.7 and using this value of current and the starting time, (it is recommended that a minimumtime of 5 seconds be adopted), plot this point on the time-current characteristics of the fuse link. The correct current ratingof the fuse is then chosen as being the one immediately to the right of the point so plotted. The chosen fuse must also havea current rating of at least 1.3 times the full-load current of the associated motor.

The rating chosen will be adequate for normal applications where the associated motor is not started more than twice in givenperiod of one hour.

For applications using more frequent starting duties, a greater derating factor must be applied as shown in the following table.

Assisted Starting

A similar method of fuse selection may be used as for direct-on-line starting (see above), but it must be noted that thenormal running current of the motor is likely to be closer in value to the nominal current rating of the fuse than for direct-on-line applications.

The rating of fuse chosen will need to be appreciably greater than the motor running current to allow for restricted cooling insidecontrol gear cubicles, particularly where multi-tier starters are involved. In case of doubt refer to Bussmann for further guidance.

Note

For applications involving more frequent starting duties than 16 times per hour or where unusual duty cycles are involved,consult Bussmann application engineers for advice.

Voltage and Auxiliary Transformer Fuse Links

For more information visit our website www.bussmann.com

Bussmann manufacture a wide range of voltage transformer (VT) fuse links. In North America they are referred to as Potential Transformer fuses. These fuse links are designed for use in the primary side of voltage transformers to provide system isolation in the event of faults occurring in the transformer circuit.

Voltage transformer fuse links, have a preferred current rating of 3.15A. Experience has shown that there is a risk of spurious operation by transient overcurrents where lower current ratings are used. In addition, in order to minimise the risk of deterioration of the fine fuse elements caused by corona, it is desirable to mount the fuse links so that the earthed metal is not in the immediate vicinity of the part of the barrel between the ferrules.

Higher current and ‘E’ ratings are available for special applications, including auxiliary transformers.

A range of VT fuse links with a breaking capacity of 200kA for use at the output terminals of large turbo alternators can also be ordered. For further information, please contact Bussmann application engineers.

Types prefixed ‘A’ or ‘N’ are suitable for use in Air only. Types prefixed ‘O’ may be used under oil.

For DIN dimensioned voltage transformer and auxiliary transformer fuse links, please refer to DIN dimensioned fuse link section.

British Standard VT Fuse Links.

A range of voltage transformer primary Fuse Links to BS2692-1 and IEC60282-1.

Wide range of ratings from 1 kV to 36 kV.

3.15 Amp industry standard current ratings.

CAV range with ratings from 3.6kV to 38kV.

Bussmann under oil Fuse Links

The Bussmann range of oil tight fuse links are designed for use in oil filled switchgear. This type was pioneered inthe U.K. and the Bussmann range has been in continuous manufacture for almost 40 years, being by far the mostwidely used device of its kind in the world. Over 1,000,000 Bussmann branded fuse links have been put into servicewithout a single reported case of oil ingress. A unique triple seal system ensures against long term sealdeterioration. Low power dissipation ensures cool running in oil filled switchgear.

The range is not suitable for use inside oil filled transformer tanks where high oil temperatures may be expected.

Current Limiting Fuse Links for use in Oil Switchgear

Selection of these fuse links has been based on a compromise between the following:

1 Withstand against magnetising inrush current is taken as 12 times full-load current for 0.1 second.

2 Withstand against 150% permissible overload current. Recommendations marked with an asterisk or dagger have the following significance:

* Limited to permissible overload of 130%† Permits use of a 12kV OHFMA 80A fuse with a 1000 kVA transformer where permissible overload does not exceed 130%.

3 For 6.6kV systems, 12kV fuse links are recommended where possible in the interests of standardisation.

4 Wherever possible, 254mm long fuse links are offered rather than equivalent 359mm types.

5 The above recommendations are not generally applicable to transformers feeding motor circuits with starting currents in excess of the transformer full load current. In this event, please consult Bussmann application engineers.

Selection of these fuse links has been based on a compromise between the following:

1 The fuse links should withstand transformer magnetising inrush currents, taken as 12 times full load current for 0.1 seconds.

2 The fuse links should discriminate with the highest rating of secondary fuse link.

3 The fuse links should withstand periodic over-currents of up to 150% of transformer full load current.

4 The fuse links should operate reasonably quickly in the event of a transformer inter-turn fault or a fault in the secondary terminal zone of the transformer.

Notes

a) The above recommendations are not generally applicable to transformers feeding motor circuits with starting currents in excess of the rated current of the fuse. In this event, please consult Bussmann.

b) For 6.6kV transformers, 12kV Fuse Links are recommended, where the required current rating is available.

c) Where the transformer is not subjected to periodic over-currents, a lower fuse rating may be suitable, fuse ratings marked thus‚ ‘3’ are only suitable for use with the transformer sizes quoted, where significant over loading does not occur.

Fuse links for use in transformers with primary voltages of 3.3kV, 22kV and 33kV are available, please consultBussmann application engineers for further details and a recommendation.

Bussmann Liquid Fuse Links

Bussmann manufacture a range of liquid filled fuse links for use outdoors, on pole mounted equipment. Theyprovide a simple yet effective means of protection in distribution applications. However, it should be noted thatliquid filled fuse links were first put into service before HV fuse standards were introduced and are therefore notcovered by any present standard. They are principally for replacement purposes on existing systems.

General Description

The fuse body is of clear toughened glass to allow visual identification of a blown fuse element. Plated contactferrules are hermetically sealed onto each end of the tube. The replacement fuse element assembly is held undertension within the tube, which is filled with fuse arc quenching liquid. (A data sheet on this product is available,please contact Bussmann for details.) The upper end of the fuse link is sealed by a tin diaphragm. This is designedto rupture during operation, permitting venting of arc products.

The fuse link is sealed against the weather and has an indefinite service life, under normal conditions. The elementassembly is enclosed by a fibre sleeve. This assists in the process of arc extinguishing during operation.

Operation

When a fuse link operates under fault conditions, the element and connecting strain wire melt, the tension springthen pulls the lower contact and element assembly through the arc quenching liquid to the bottom of the fuse linkassembly. A specially shaped liquid director cone, fitted on the assembly, creates a turbulence in the liquid toensure rapid dispersal of arc products.

Replacement of the Fuse Element

Element replacement kits, complete with instructions, are available from Bussmann. We also advise that a minimumof one replacement kit be purchased with each order.

Note that Size 1 fuse links do not have replaceable elements.
