Type | Rated voltage (kV) | Rated current (A) | Breaking current (kA) | Impulse voltage (kV) | Power frequency withstand voltage (kV) | Creepage distance (mm) | Weight (kg) | Dimension (cm) |
RW12-15F/100A | 15-24 | 100 | 8000 | 125 | 45 | 350 | 8.1 | 55×36×15.5 |
RW12-15F/200A | 15-24 | 200 | 10000 | 125 | 45 | 350 | 8.6 |
1.Purpose:It's designed to protect distribution networks by interrupting current flow in the event of an overload or fault.
2.Works:This particular model can handle voltages up to 15kV and currents up to 200A. When a fault occurs, the fuse element inside the cutout melts, and the cutout drops open to visibly indicate the fault and isolate the affected section of the network. This helps prevent damage to the system and ensures safety.
3.Maintenance:
1)Maintenance for the Drop-out Fuse Cutout-RW12-15F typically involves routine inspections to ensure it is functioning correctly and has not been triggered by a fault.
2)After a fault occurs and the fuse element has operated, the fuse tube will drop to indicate the fault. The maintenance would then involve replacing the blown fuse element and resetting the cutout to its closed position.
3)It's also important to check for any signs of wear or damage to the insulating support and contacts during inspections.
