Standard Type C Cutout with a 10 kAIC Fuseholder
A cutout fuse is a protective device used in overhead power line construction to interrupt overcurrent conditions and isolate faulty sections of the distribution network. It combines a fuse holder and a switch mechanism, allowing utility crews to manually disconnect power for maintenance or in response to system faults. It is designed for medium-voltage systems, cutout fuses enhance grid reliability by protecting transformers, capacitor banks, and lateral lines from short circuits and overloads.
Key Features:
- Voltage Rating: Typically from 15 kV to 38 kV
- Interrupting Capacity: Up to 12,000 A
- Material: Porcelain or polymer insulator body for durability
- Interchangeable Fuse Link: Easy replacement for quick restoration
- Visible Break Design: Allows for clear fault isolation verification
- Corrosion-Resistant Hardware: Ideal for harsh environments
- Load break Option Available: Enables safe live-line switching
