1.A Surge Arrester type L Fuse Cutout Combination is an electrical device that combines the functions of a distribution-class surge arrester with a fuse cutout.
2.This combination provides overvoltage and overcurrent protection to distribution systems with the convenience of a compact unit, requiring less pole-top hardware and simplifying installation and procurement.
3.The Surge Arrester part of the combination is designed to detect voltage surges and provide a path to ground, diverting the energy away from electrical equipment and maintaining a safe voltage level within the system.
4.The Fuse Cutout part consists of a fuse assembly and a disconnect switch. When excessive current flows through, the fuse element melts, opening the circuit and disconnecting the faulty section from the power source. This combination ensures both overvoltage and overcurrent protection in one unit.
