Switchgear products can be used in padmount, subsurface/wet or dry vaults and riser pole installations. The switching or manual sectionalizing of loads can be accomplished with the use of Molded Vacuum Switch (MVS) modules. The simplest manual Padmount Subsurface Riser Pole Vault sectionalizer is a single MVS switch, which can be installed in a vault, on a pole or inside a padmount enclosure. One of the most popular applications of this sectionalizer is as a replacement for existing oil fuse cutouts. Two-, three- and four-way units are also available in vault and padmount styles. Switches also aid in the manual reconfiguration of distribution loops by installing them at the open point in the circuit. Overcurrent protection is accomplished using Molded Canister Fuse (MCAN) or Molded Vacuum Interrupter (MVI) modules. These can be used in combination with MVS modules. The simplest product is a single MVI unit, which can be installed in a vault, on a pole or inside a padmount enclosure. A common application for this configuration is as a replacement for existing oil fuse cutouts. Two-, three- and four-way units are also available in any combination of MVI, MCAN and MVS modules, and in vault and padmount styles. Fuses and interrupters are applied in underground loops to aid in the sectionalizing of the main feeder, and by providing protection to the loads along the loop. For more information on canister fuses, see pages 43–50.

This results in improved reliability of the system as the duration of outages is reduced (i.e. the SAIDI and CAIDI reliability indices). Switching products can be applied as replacements for existing oil fuse cutouts or as manual sectionalizers for loops or radial feeders. Depending on the application, these sectionalizers may be installed in a vault or inside a padmount enclosure. Pole installations are also available.

Similar application of MVS switches in loop configurations contribute to significantly reduce the outage duration. In these cases, single- or multi-way switch configurations can be applied. 6 8155 T&B Boulevard Memphis TN 38125 • 800.326.5282 utility.tnb.com PG-PC-E-0509 TnB_Elas-08_Guide_06-07:TnB_Elas-08_Guide_06-07 6/15/09 8:17 AM Page 7 Overview Fault-interrupting devices are used on: While a switching device contributes to decrease the duration of outages, fault interrupters contribute to decrease the duration AND frequency of outages (i.e. SAIDI, CAIDI, SAIFI, CAIFI reliability indices).

In this example, a radial feeder is exposed to two failures in one year. Without any automatic sectionalizing (overcurrent protection), all customers are subject to both failures and are out of power until failures are restored. Assuming that the duration of outage one (F1) is 1 hour, and outage two (F2) is 2 hours, the calculation of SAIDI shows 3 hours of interruption duration per year. The calculation of the frequency of interruptions (SAIFI) shows two interruptions per year. T 500 Users MVI Automatic Sectionalizing Unit = Eliminate one interruption for 500 users Permanent Faults F1 and F2 Interruption Duration: F1 = 1 hr.; F2 = 2 hr. for 500 users Evaluation Period = 1 yr. SAIDI = [(1 hr.) x (1000) + (2 hr.) x (500)]/1000 = 2 hr./yr. SAIFI = [1000 + 500]/1000 = 1.5 interruptions/yr. With the use of an MVI overcurrent fault-interrupting device at the midpoint of the feeder, failure F2 only affects half of the load. Proper protection coordination between the MVI and the substation breaker enables the MVI to clear the fault before any customers between the MVI and the breaker are affected. Frequency and duration of interruption are significantly reduced. SAIDI is reduced from 3 to 2 hours of interruption per year (33%), and SAIFI is reduced from 2 to 1.5 interruptions per year (25%). Automatic Sectionalizing Switchgear 3-Point Junctions MVI Interrupters ESP313-BJB-XXX Similar improvements can be accomplished with the use of MVIs in loop systems. A typical example of the use of radial protection off the main feeder to improve reliability is the use of single-phase MVIs in sectionalizing cabinets. These cabinets can be installed with no tap protection at the beginning of a construction project, and MVIs can be added as the loads come online. PG-PC-E-0509 utility.tnb.com 800.326.5282 • 8155 T&B Boulevard Memphis TN 38125 7 Overview Underground Distribution Switchgear Underground Loop Systems In the case of underground loops, the switching devices along the loop can be used to reconfigure the loop. Thus, regardless of the location of the fault, the switches will operate to isolate the faulted portion of the loop and restore service to the remaining customers. In the following example, permanent Fault A will cause the breaker to lock out, and all customers up to the open point will be subjected to an outage. The next step is to locate the fault. After the fault is located, it is necessary to reconfigure the loop to isolate the faulted portion. This is done by opening Switch 1 and closing Switch 2. These operations can be done manually or via SCADA. Example: Underground Loop System Fault A Fault A B1 B1 S2 NC NC Switch 1 Switchgear 1 Breaker Locks Out S2 OPEN NC Switch 1 Switchgear 1 Breaker Locks Out NC NC CLOSE Switch 2 NO NOTE: NC = normally closed NO = normally opened B2 Switch 2 Switchgear 2 S3 S4 Switchgear 2 B2 S4 S3 Automatic Source Transfer The main application of source transfer packages is to transfer a load from one power source to another. In some cases, when the load is not critical, this is done manually using a switching device. In the case of critical loads for hospitals, financial institutions, manufacturing facilities or any other load that would have computerized equipment, a fast transfer is required between the main (preferred) source and the backup (alternate) source. It is important for the automatic source transfer not to affect the operation of the load because any interruption of the business process translates into costly lost production and setup time. The preferred and backup sources are normally utility feeders, but in some cases the backup source may be a generator. Elastimold ® Switchgear offers automatic transfer (AT) packages capable of performing a full transfer in less than two seconds. The system monitors the voltage on the preferred source and initiates a transfer when the voltage is below the acceptable level for the customer. At this point, the preferred source is disconnected and the alternate source is connected. 8 8155 T&B Boulevard Memphis TN 38125 • 800.326.5282 utility.tnb.com PG-PC-E-0509 Overview AT Packages Include: Padmount Automatic Source Transfer* • Six voltage sensors (one for each phase of the MVS switches). These sensors monitor voltage on every phase and feed their output to the AT control. Back MVS Switches with Motor Operators • AT control, which receives the output from the voltage sensors and determines if there is a loss of voltage. If there is a loss of voltage, the AT control sends an OPEN signal to the preferred source MVS and a CLOSE signal to the alternate source MVS. When the voltage is restored, the system transfers back to its normal state, either automatically or at a set time. Underground Distribution Switchgear • Two three-phase MVS Switches with motor operators (one for the preferred source and one for the alternate source). • One or two protected taps, either MCAN or MVI modules, which protect the critical load against overcurrent. Solid taps are also available. Control Panel Front * Automatic Source Transfer packages are also available for subsurface/vault installations.

These measurements cannot be directly applied to a network system. A typical network system has built-in redundancy. During most events, the continuity of power supplied to the end user is not affected by fault conditions on the high side of the network transformers. So, from the point of view of customer interruptions, network systems are reliable. However, transformer failures have been known to result in catastrophic fires, explosions and even loss of lives. The failure or overload of multiple transformers within a network may ultimately result in the interruption of service to the end user. Loss of Redundancy Loss of redundancy is a method that highlights the increased vulnerability of the system every time a network transformer is lost. Loss of redundancy indices are calculated as follows: S (No. Hours a Transformer is Disconnected x No. of Transformers in the Circuit) Duration of Loss of Redundancy (hours/year) = No. of Transformers in the Circuit Frequency of Loss of Redundancy (times/year) = Total No. of Transformer De-Energizations No. of Transformers in the Circuit The number of transformers in the circuit is the number of transformers energized by the same feeder. The loss of redundancy indices are calculated in the following example. Example 1: No High-Side Transformer Protection Consider one substation breaker and one exclusive feeder out to the network. Five transformers Loss of redundancy can occur are energized by the same feeder. Assume one permanent fault on one transformer in one year. as a consequence of: Also assume the faulted transformer is de-energized for six hours: Duration of Loss of Redundancy (hours/year) = (6 x 5) 5 Frequency of Loss of Redundancy (times/year) = 5 5 = 6 hours/year • • • • Transformer fire Transformer overheating Transformer pressure build-up Overcurrent condition = 1 time/year Because there is only one breaker for five transformers, a failure in one transformer translates to the interruption of power to five transformers for six hours. While the substation breaker may detect most overcurrent faults, faults caused by excessive pressure/heat or fires cannot be detected by the breaker. One method that automatically isolates a network transformer from the primary side, regardless of the type of failure, is the installation of an MVI fault interrupter on the high side of the transformer. This MVI can isolate based on overcurrent conditions, but also can be wired to isolate the transformer in case of fire, excessive pressure/heat, emergency signal, etc. Benefits of such a setup to the network system and the end users include: • Minimization of fire damage • Reduction or elimination of transformer damage due to pressure or temperature build-up • Longer transformer life PG-PC-E-0509 utility.tnb.com 800.326.5282 • 8155 T&B Boulevard Memphis TN 38125 11 Overview Underground Distribution Switchgear The following example calculates the loss of redundancy to the same system used in Example 1, but adding protection to the primary side of the transformers. Example 2: High-Side Transformer Protection There is one substation breaker and one exclusive feeder out to the network. Five transformers are energized by the same feeder. Each transformer is equipped with a fault interrupter installed on the high side. Assume one permanent fault on one transformer in one year. Assume the transformer is de-energized for six hours: Duration of Loss of Redundancy (hours/year) = Frequency of Loss of Redundancy (times/year) = (6 x 1) 5 = 1.2 hour/year 1 5 = 0.2 time/year A failure in one transformer translates to the interruption of power to only one transformer for six hours. Once an MVI is installed, remote operation from the entrance of the vault or via SCADA is possible with the addition of a motor operator and control. Installation of panic/emergency push buttons at the entrance of the vault is also possible; pressing this emergency switch will instantaneously trip open one or all of the interrupters in a vault and isolate the transformers.

Molded Vacuum Interrupters are provided with self-powered electronic control packages requiring no batteries or external power. Depending on the application, five electronic control options are available for the MVI — see below and on following page. Benefits/Descriptions Features Include Self-Powered Electronic No batteries or external power are required. Controls send a signal to the vacuum Control Packages interrupters to trip open and interrupt the fault when an overcurrent condition is detected. Field-Selectable Fuse or Relay Curves One device for many protection schemes. and Trip Settings Internal Control This control is integral to the unit (no separate control box). It is accessible via a computer connection to view or modify settings. This control is used on ganged three-phase or single-phase MVI interrupters. Phase and ground trip, as well as inrush restraint, are available. The E-Set software enables the user to connect to the internal control, either in the shop or in the field, to program or change settings. An MVI-STP-USB programming connector is required to connect between the PC and the MVI. With a computer connected to the MVI control, the user can view real-time currents, the number of overcurrent protection operations, current magnitude of the last trip and the phase/ground fault targets. This is the standard control option. NOTE: E-Set can be downloaded from www.elastimoldswitchgear.com. External Control with Single-/Three-Phase Trip Selection (Style 10 and 310) This control is mounted externally to the mechanism and provides the ability to select TCCs by setting DIP switches on the front panel. Each phase can be assigned a different minimum trip setting by means of manual rotary switches. This control is used on one, two or three single-phase MVI mechanisms. External Control with Phase and Ground Trip (Style 20 and 320) This control is mounted externally to the mechanism and provides the ability to select phase minimum trip (one for all three phases), time delay for phase tripping, ground trip as a percent of phase minimum trip and ground trip delay by means of manual rotary switches. This control may be used on ganged three-phase or three single-phase MVI mechanisms. 18 8155 T&B Boulevard Memphis TN 38125 • 800.326.5282 utility.tnb.com PG-PC-E-0509 Molded Vacuum Switches and Fault Interrupters This control is mounted externally to the mechanism and provides the ability to select phase minimum trip (one for all three phases) by means of a manual rotary switch. It also has an RS-232 port for connection to a PC to view the last trip data. This control is used on ganged three-phase or three single-phase MVI mechanisms. Underground Distribution Switchgear External Control with Three-Phase Trip Only (Style 30 and 330) External Control with Selectable Single-/Three-Phase Trip Function (80 and 380 Control) This control is mounted externally to the mechanism of the interrupter and provides the ability to select between a single-phase trip and a three-phase trip. The 80 and 380 Control can be used with one three-phase interrupter or with three single-phase interrupters. For three-phase applications, the ground trip function can be blocked from the front panel. Manual trip and reset target buttons are also located on the front panel. This control uses the E-Set software, which enables programming via a computer using the MVI-STP-USB adapter. E-Set features custom TCC curves and provides access to the last fault event information, as well as real-time current per phase.

In some cases, when the load is not critical, this is done manually using a switching device. In the case of critical loads for hospitals, financial institutions, manufacturing facilities or any other load that would have computerized equipment, a fast transfer is required between the main (preferred) source and the backup (alternate) source. It is important for the automatic source transfer not to affect the operation of the load because any interruption of the business process translates into costly lost production and setup time. The preferred and backup sources are normally utility feeders, but in some cases the backup source may be a generator. Elastimold ® Switchgear offers automatic transfer (AT) packages capable of performing a full transfer in less than two seconds. The system monitors the voltage on the preferred source and initiates a transfer when the voltage is below the acceptable level for the customer. At this point, the preferred source is disconnected and the alternate source is connected. AT Packages Include: Padmount Automatic Source Transfer* • Two three-phase MVS Switches with motor operators (one for the preferred source and one for the alternate source). • Six voltage sensors (one for each phase of the MVS switches). These sensors monitor voltage on every phase and feed their output to the AT control. MVS Switches with Motor Operators Front • AT control, which receives the output from the voltage sensors and determines if there is a loss of voltage. If there is a loss of voltage, the AT control sends an OPEN signal to the preferred source MVS and a CLOSE signal to the alternate source MVS. When the voltage is restored, the system transfers back to its normal state, either automatically or at a set time. • One or two protected taps, either MCAN or MVI modules, which protect the critical load against overcurrent. Solid taps are also available. Control Panel Back * Automatic Source Transfer packages are also available for subsurface/vault installations. 26 8155 T&B Boulevard Memphis TN 38125 • 800.326.5282 utility.tnb.com PG-PC-E-0509 TnB_Elas-08_Guide_26-27:TnB_Elas-08_Guide_26-27 6/15/09 8:31 AM Page 27 Multi-Way Switchgear and Transfer Packages Ordering Information for Elastimold ® Automatic Source Transfer Packages Description Width in.

Fused load-break elbows features include: ® Molded Fuse Products provide low-cost, convenient protection for radial taps, junctions, transformers and other equipment. They combine the advantages of full-range current-limiting fusing with the convenience of 15/25kV, 200A hotstick-operable, loadbreak elbow switching. MCLF and MCAN are suitable for single-phase tap/load protection and can be used in vault, subsurface or padmount installations. Elastimold® Fused Products provide the benefits of current-limiting protection, with fault clearing occurring in less than one-half cycle, thereby limiting the let-through fault current and dramatically reducing stresses on equipment. They also provide both overload and fault current protection for distribution equipment in a single fuse body. As full-range • A patented damage sensor that significantly reduces the risk of fuse failure should the fuse be subjected to an element-damaging current surge (e.g. lightning). • Hermetically sealed construction ensures that no gases escape from the fuse during current interruption. • All fuses are helium mass spectrometer leak tested to ensure sealing system integrity. • Rugged machined-brass end caps used for greater ferrule strength, resulting in less distortion and a more secure fuse attachment. Elastimold® FLR, MCLF and MCAN fused products constitute some of the fastest and easiest ways to improve system reliability. Improve Loop System Reliability by Adding Protection to a Tap.

Designs have a 50,000A RMS Symmetrical Rating (except 3A, 17.2kV — which was tested at 44kA maximum). 2. Fuses have a Rated Maximum Application Temperature (RMAT) of 65º C. RMAT is the maximum temperature of the air, in contact with the elbow housing, at which fuses have been shown to be suitable for use. 3. Tabulated Maximum Total I2t values are for currents of 50,000A at the nominal voltage of the fuse. Values for 8.3kV fuses at 10kV are approximately 30% higher. Values for 17.2kV fuses at 15.5kV are approximately 20% lower. 4. Maximum total I2t values are reduced for currents below 50,000A. For example, at 10,000A, maximum total I2t values are approximately 15% less than the published values. 5. Peak arc voltages listed are for 50,000A currents at the rated maximum voltage listed. Reduced currents and voltages will reduce the peak arc voltage. Consult the factory for further information. 6. Maximum continuous currents at ambient temperatures other than those listed may be determined by derating the fuses by 0.2% per degree C over 25º C. For example: At 40º C the derating would be 15 x 0.2 = 3%, making the maximum continuous current of a 17.2kV, 25A fuse 31.5 x 0.97 = 30.5A. 7. Time-current characteristic curves are published at 25º C. Reduction in the long time melting current of the fuses (approximately one hour and longer) due to higher ambient temperatures is the same as described above for “maximum continuous currents.” 32 8155 T&B Boulevard Memphis TN 38125 • 800.326.5282 utility.tnb.com PG-PC-E-0509 Fused Elbows ® Recommended Elastimold EFX-E Elbow Fuse at 40º C Ambient Temperature Fuse Voltage A 2.4 B 10 15 25 37.5 50 75 100 167 250 333 500 — — 12 20 25 45 65 — — — — 6 10 20 25 40 65 80 — — — — 6a 6 8 12 20 30 45 80 — — — — — — — 18 20 30 65 80 — — — — — — 12 20 25 45 80 — — 3 6a 8 12 20 25 40 65 — — — — — — — 10 12 18 25 45 65 — 3 3 6 8 12 20 25 45 65 — — — — — — — 12 18 25 45 80 — 3 3 6 6 10 18 25 45 65 — — 15.5kV (17.2kV) 14.4 6a 6a 6a 6 6 10 18 (25) (45) — — — — — — — — 12 18 (25) (40) — 16 A B A B — — — — — — 10 18 20 (30) (45) 6a 6a 6a 6a 6 8 12 20 (30) (45) — — — — — — — — (12) (20) (25) (45) (3a) (3a) (3) (6a) (6a) (8) (10) (20) (30) (45) — Recommended Elastimold® EFX-E Elbow Fuse at 40º C Ambient Temperature Fuse Voltage 3-Phase gndY-gndY Transformer kVA A B A B 15 22.5 30 45 75 100 112.5 150 200 225 300 500 750 1,000 — — 10 12 20 30 40 45 65 80 — — — — 6 8 12 20 30 45 65 80 80 — — — — — — — — — 12 18 20 25 40 45 65 — — — 3 6a 6 10 20 25 25 40 65 65 80 — — — 2.4 4.16 Recommended Fuse Current Ratings (Amperes) 8.3kV Transformer 3-Phase Voltage Rating (kV), Phase to Phase 4.8 7.2–7.96 8.32 12.47 13.2–14.4 A B A B A B A B A B — — — — — 18 18 20 30 40 45 80 — — 3 6a 6 8 12 20 25 30 45 65 80 — — — — — — — — — — 18 20 20 30 65 80 — 3a 3 6a 6 8 12 12 20 25 30 45 80 — — — — — — — — — 12 18 20 25 45 80 — 3a 3 3 6a 8 10 12 20 25 25 40 80 — — — — — — — — — 10 12 12 18 30 45 80 6a 6a 6a 6a 6 8 8 12 18 20 25 45 65 — — — — — — — — 10 12 12 18 30 45 — 6a 6a 6a 6a 6 8 8 12 18 18 25 45 — — Molded Fuse Products 1-Phase Transformer kVA Recommended Fuse Current Ratings (Amperes) 8.3kV Transformer 1-Phase Voltage Rating (kV), Phase to Ground 4.16 4.8 7.2 7.62 12 A B A B A B A B A B 15.5kV (17.2kV) 20.8 A B — — — — — — — — 8 8 12 18 (25) (40) 6a 6a 6a 6a 6a 6a 6 6 10 10 18 (25) (45) — 22.9–24.9 A B — — — — — — — — — — — (18) (25) (40) (3a) (3a) (3a) (3a) (3) (6a) (6a) (6) (8) (10) (12) (25) (40) — NOTE: 1.

(RMAT is the maximum temperature of the air in contact with the MCLF housing at which the fuses have been shown suitable for use.) 3. Tabulated Maximum Total I2t values are for currents of 50,000A at the nominal voltage of the fuse. Fuses that have a Rated Maximum Voltage higher than their Nominal Voltage Rating will have a higher I2t let-through when applied at voltages up to these higher values. For example, Maximum Total I2t values are increased by approximately 30% when 8.3kV fuses are applied at 10kV and approximately 25% when 15.5kV fuses are used at 17.2kV. 4. Maximum total l2t values are reduced for currents below 50,000A. For example, at 10,000A, l2t values are approximately 15% less than the published values. 5. Peak arc voltages quoted are for 50,000A currents at the rated maximum voltage listed. Reduced currents and voltages will reduce the peak arc voltage. Consult the factory for further information. 6. Maximum continuous currents at higher ambient temperatures may be determined by derating the fuses by 0.2% per degree C over 25° C. For example: At 40° C, the derating would be 15 x 0.2 = 3%, making the maximum continuous current of a 20A fuse 23.0 x 0.97 = 22A. 38 8155 T&B Boulevard Memphis TN 38125 • 800.326.5282 utility.tnb.com PG-PC-E-0509 Molded Current-Limiting Fuses Recommended MCLF at 40° C Ambient Temperature Fuse Voltage 1-Phase Transformer kVA 2.4 A 4.16 B A B Recommended Fuse Current Ratings (Amperes) (5.5kV) 8.3kV 15.5kV Transformer 1-Phase Voltage Rating (kV), Phase to Ground 4.8 7.2 7.62 12 14.4 A B A B A B A B A B 10a 10a 10 20 20 30 50 65 (100) (150) — — — — — — — — — 20 30 50 65 115 — — 10a 10a 10a 10 10 20 30 50 65 100 — — — — — — — — — 20 30 50 65 115 — — 10a 10a 10a 10 10 20 30 50 65 100 — — — — — — — — — — 20 30 50 65 100 — 10a 10a 10a 10a 10a 10 20 30 50 65 100 — — 16 10a 10a 10a 10a 10a 10 10 30 40 50 80 100 — — — — — — — — 20 30 30 65 80 100 19.9 A B A B — — — — — — — — 20 30 50 — — 10a 10a 10a 10a 10a 10 10 20 30 50 — — — — — — — — — — — 20 20 40 — — 10a 10a 10a 10a 10a 10a 10 20 30 40 — — — Molded Fuse Products — 10a — 10a — — 10 — 10a — — 20 — 10 — 20 30 — 20 — 30 40 20 30 — 50 65 30 40 20 65 (80) 40 50 30 (100) (150) 65 (80) 50 (150) — (100) (125) (80) (180) — (125) (180) (100) — — (180) — (150) — — — — — — — — — — 10 15 25 37.5 50 75 100 167 250 333 500 750 1,000 23kV Recommended MCLF at 40° C Ambient Temperature Fuse Voltage 3-Phase gndY-gndY Transformer kVA A 15 22.5 30 45 75 100 112.5 150 200 225 300 500 750 1,000 1,500 2,000 — — — — 30 40 40 50 65 (80) (100) (180) — — — — 2.4 4.16 B A B Recommended Fuse Current Ratings (Amperes) (5.5kV) 8.3kV 15.5kV Transformer 3-Phase Voltage Rating (kV), Phase to Phase 4.8 7.2–7.96 8.32 12.47 13.2–14.4 20.8 A B A B A B A B A B A B 10a — 10a — 10a — 10a — a a 10 — 10 — 10 — 10a — 10 — 10a — 10a — 10a — 20 — 10 — 10 — 10a — 40 — 20 — 20 — 10 — 50 20 30 20 30 — 20 — 65 20 30 20 30 — 20 — (80) 30 50 30 40 20 30 — (100) 40 65 40 50 20 30 20 (125) 50 65 40 65 30 40 30 (150) 65 (100) 65 (80) 40 50 30 — (100) (150) (100) (125) 65 (80) 50 — (180) — (125) (180) (80) (125) 80 — — — (180) — (125) (180) 115 — — — — — (180) — — — — — — — — — — 10a 10a 10a 10a 10 10 20 20 30 50 50 80 115 — — — — — — — — — — — — — 20 30 50 65 100 — 10a 10a 10a 10a 10a 10 10 10 20 20 30 50 80 100 — — — — — — — — — — — — 20 30 50 65 100 — 10a 10a 10a 10a 10a 10 10 10 20 20 30 50 65 100 — — — — — — — — — — — — — 20 30 50 65 100 10a 10a 10a 10a 10a 10a 10a 10a 10 10 20 30 50 65 100 — 23kV 22.9–24.9 A B A B 10a 10a 10a 10a 10a 10a 10a 10a 10 10 20 30 40 65 80 — — — — — — — — — — — — — 20 30 40 50 10a 10a 10a 10a 10a 10a 10a 10a 10a 10a 10 20 30 40 — — — — — — — — — — — — 10 20 30 40 65 80 34.5 NOTE: 1.

For example, Maximum Total I2t values are increased by approximately 30% when 8.3kV fuses are applied at 10kV and approximately 25% when 15.5kV fuses are used at 17.2kV. 46 4.2 9 11 13 17 19 23 28.5 33 39 44 68 77.5 4.2 9 11 13 17 19 23 28.5 33 39 43 56 9 11 13 17 19 23 28.5 33 37 43 3.9 8.5 10.5 12.5 16 18 21.5 27 31 36.5 42 64.5 73.5 3.9 8.5 10.5 12.5 16 18 21.5 27 31 36.5 40 54.5 8.5 10.5 12.5 16 18 21.5 27 31 35 40 Peak Arc Voltage (kV) (5) Minimum Melt l2t (AMP2-SEC) Maximum Total l2t (AMP2-SEC) (3) (4) 30 32 28 28 26 26 26 26 26 26 26 23 22 51 54 46 46 43 45 45 45 45 45 45 39 67 61 61 60 60 60 60 60 60 60 100 620 800 800 920 1,310 1,620 3,660 5,250 8,700 12,800 34,000 51,200 100 620 800 800 920 1,310 1,620 3,660 5,250 8,700 12,800 28,300 620 800 800 920 1,310 1,620 3,660 5,250 8,700 12,800 350 2,700 4,000 4,000 8,000 9,500 11,000 22,000 30,000 50,000 70,000 200,000 280,000 510 2,600 3,700 3,700 6,500 8,000 10,000 22,000 30,000 50,000 70,000 164,000 3,100 4,800 4,800 8,300 11,200 13,000 28,000 38,000 61,000 82,000 4. Maximum total I2t values are reduced for currents below 50,000A. For example, at 10,000A, maximum total I2t values are approximately 15% less than the published values. 5. Peak arc voltages quoted are for 50,000A currents at the rated maximum voltage listed. Reduced currents and voltages will reduce the peak arc voltage. Consult the factory for further information. 6. Maximum continuous currents at higher ambient temperatures may be determined by de-rating the fuses by 0.2% per degree C over 25° C. For example: At 65° C, the de-rating would be 40 x 0.2 = 8%, making the maximum continuous current of a 30A fuse 34 x 0.92 = 31A. 7. Reduction in the long time melting current of the fuses (approximately one hour and longer) due to higher ambient temperatures is the same as described above in Note #6. See time-current characteristics for melting characteristics in this time region. 8155 T&B Boulevard Memphis TN 38125 • 800.326.5282 utility.tnb.com PG-PC-E-0509 TnB_Elas-08_Guide_46-47:TnB_Elas-08_Guide_46-47 6/15/09 8:44 AM Page 47 Molded Canister Fuses for FX Fuses and MCAN Fuse Canisters To specify and order an FX fuse and an MCAN fuse canister: EXAMPLE: 1.

Surge Arresters Voltage surges that exceed the BIL rating of the distribution system components will cause damage to the installed equipment. To protect against these surges, overhead surge arresters are widely used. Their application is understood since overhead lines and equipment are directly affected by voltage surges (e.g. lightning). However, the use of overhead arresters alone will not guarantee proper protection of the insulation in the underground portion of an electrical distribution system. The letthrough surge from the riser pole arresters into the underground systems could be enough to cause damage to the aging equipment insulation. Elastimold® MOV Surge Arresters provide high-voltage lightning and switching surge protection of transformers, cable, equipment and other components typically located on underground power distribution systems. Proper placement, voltage selection and coordination with riser pole arresters minimize damaging surge voltages by improving protective margins. Typical applications include installing an arrester at the end of a radial system or at both ends of an open point on a loop system. Additional arresters can be added at strategic locations upstream from the end point for optimum protection. Metal Oxide Varistor (MOV) Surge Arresters are available in three styles: Elbow (ESA), Parking Stand (PSA) and Bushing (BSA). The PSA and BSA arresters permit direct connection, eliminating the need for additional accessories. ESA Elbow Arresters are also available with a 200A deadbreak interface for mating with other deadbreak accessories. The following page highlights the different installation options using Bushing and Parking Stand Arresters where Elbow Arresters are normally used. Using BSAs and PSAs will contribute to saving space inside transformers and improving operability.
