Hi-Tech Trans-Guard EXT Current-Limiting Backup Fuses Allow Visual Identification Of Fault Location While Significantly Reducing Energy Let-Through
New Product Line from Thomas & Betts Offers Smallest Size in the Industry
Memphis, TN - The new line of Hi-Tech Trans-Guard EXT Current-Limiting Backup Fuses from Thomas & Betts – offering the smallest size in the industry – interrupt high fault currents and limit the amount of energy let-through to the source of the fault to a value well below the typical withstand capacity of the equipment, providing greater protection and safety. Applied in series with a cutout expulsion fuse for interrupting low- to mid-level currents, the Hi-Tech Trans-Guard EXT Current-Limiting Backup Fuses significantly reduce energy let-through during a fault while still allowing enough let-through current to melt and drop open the coordinated cutout fuse, making it easy to identify visually where the fault occurred.
The design of the Hi-Tech Trans-Guard EXT Current-Limiting Backup Fuses offer:
Lowest energy let-through in the industry. The fuses' superior performance offers the lowest total l2t let-throughs in the industry, providing maximum protection for overhead distribution equipment by minimizing energy let-through during a fault.
Most complete range of ratings available. A high-fault interrupting capability of as high as 50kA symmetrical, as well as the broadest range of ratings available, at up to 100K at 8.3kV and 15.5kV, and up to 80K at 23kV.
Smallest size. The Hi-Tech Trans-Guard EXT fuse is the smallest fuse of its type in the industry, making it easier to handle and install.
With integral pre-assembled hardware, the Hi-Tech Trans-Guard EXT Current-Limiting Backup Fuses reduce installation time. Their durable design extends outdoor life and includes machined brass end caps and filament-wound epoxy, center-less ground tubular bodies with an oven-baked acrylic paint finish. They are available in a wide variety of mounting and connection.
