9F61 Miscellaneous Components

Fuse supports, fuse disconnect switches and accessories from 2.4kV to 38kV Fuse supports, non-disconnecting, are used primarily in potential transformer circuits, or where there is some other disconnecting or isolating device in series with the fuse in the circuit. Disconnecting switch devices have the additional feature of serving to isolate the equipment they protect. It should be noted that disconnecting switches are not load-breaking devices, therefore, the circuit must be open prior to the fuse disconnection. Select either a fuse support or a disconnecting switch for each fuse. Fuse supports and disconnecting switches include live parts for both ends. Both fuse supports and fuse disconnect switches can be mounted vertically or horizontally. The type EK are used for indoor installations while the type EKO are used outdoors.
