Trans-Guard FX

 Full-Range Type Current-Limiting

 Fuses for Distribution Equipment Protection

   

    General:

       The Trans-Guard FX full-range current-limiting fuse provides both overload and short circuit

       protection with a single fuse.  The Trans-Guard FX line can be installed in "Dry-Well" canisters for

       distribution transformer protection, in clip mounts on live-front transformer and switchgear

       equipment, and either on or adjacent to equipment on overhead distribution systems.  These fuses

       can also be installed directly submerged in oil, or they can be encapsulated in rubber for "dead-

       front" mounting.

 

    Design Features:

 

ü

High fault current interrupting capability (50,000 amperes symmetrical)

 

ü

Broad range of ratings available, compatible with existing industry standard sizes and

 

 

mountings

 

ü

Patented Damage SensorÒ designed to significantly reduce the risk of fuse failure

 

 

should the fuse be subjected to an element damaging current surge

 

ü

Hermetically sealed construction ensures that no gases escape from the fuse during 

 

 

current interruption and that a fuse's performance will not be adversely affected in dry-

 

 

well canister applications, should the canister develop an oil leak.  All Trans-Guard FX 

    fuses are helium mass spectrometer leak tested to ensure sealing system integrity. 

New!

ü

Optional blown fuse indicator provides reliable indication of fuse operation without

 

 

adversely affecting the fuse's arcing performance due to its unique design

 

ü

Rugged machined brass end caps used for greater ferrule strength, resulting in less 

 

 

distortion and more secure fuse attachment in dry-well canisters

 

ü

Tested in accordance with the most recent ANSI/IEEE standards, which include

 

 

requirements for short circuit testing at the manufacturer's specified rated maximum

 

 

application temperature (140°C and 71°C for 2.2 inch and 3.3 inch diameter

 

 

Trans-Guard FX designs, respectively.
