15kV~27kV Series Drop-out Fuse, Outdoor High-Voltage Protection Device

Product Overview

15kV~27kV series drop-out fuses are critical outdoor high-voltage protection devices in power transmission and distribution systems. They are typically installed on the high-voltage side of distribution transformers or on branch trunk lines of distribution lines, serving as short-circuit and overload protection for transformers and lines, as well as for making and breaking load currents. These high-voltageg> drop-out fuses have notable features: 1. After installing a high-voltage fuse element, they reliably protect the circuit and interrupt fault currents; 2. They use composite (silicone rubber) material insulators, providing superior insulation performance and strong weather resistance; 3. After the fuse element melts, the fuse tube drops automatically, forming a clear isolation distance, ensuring safety and reliability.

Composite drop-out fuses consist of a composite (silicone rubber) insulating support and a fuse tube. The fixed contacts are installed at both ends of the insulating support, and the moving contacts are installed at both ends of the fuse tube. The fuse tube is composed of an inner arc-extinguishing tube and an outer phenolic paper tube or epoxy fiberglass tube. Load-break drop-out fuses are enhanced with resilient auxiliary contacts and an arc chute for safely making and breaking load currents.

The HRW and RW series 15kV~27kV drop-out fuses produced and sold by FAURE/Gaosuo Electric are held in the closed position by the tension of the fuse element during normal operation. When a fault occurs in the system, the fault current causes the fuse element to melt rapidly, creating an arc. The arc-extinguishing tube, subjected to the heat of the arc, decomposes a large amount of gas, creating high pressure inside the tube, which is blown longitudinally, rapidly elongating and extinguishing the arc. After the fuse element melts, the lower moving contact loses tension and flips downward, and the locking mechanism releases the fuse tube, which then drops, forming a clear disconnection position. When it is necessary to break the load, an insulating pole is used to pull the moving contact. At this point, the main moving and fixed contacts are still in contact. As the insulating pole continues to pull the contact, the auxiliary contacts also separate, creating an arc between them. The arc is elongated in the narrow slot of the arc chute, and the arc chute generates gas, extinguishing the arc at current zero.

As a classic outdoor high-voltage fuse, the 15kV~27kV series product design follows strict power industry standards, ensuring stable operation even in harsh environments, providing a solid guarantee for power grid safety.
