Dropout Fuse Cutout

Introduction
Dropout Fuse Cutout is a kind of outdoor used high voltage protectivedevice.To be connected with incoming feeder of distributiontransformer or distribution line it mainly protect transformer or lines fromshort circuit and overload,and on/off loading current.
Dropout Fuse Cutout is composed of insulator supports and fuse tube,static contacts is fixed on two sides of insulator support and movingcontact is installed on two ends of fuse tube.Fuse tube is composed ofinside extinguishing tube,outer phenolic compound paper tube orepoxy glass tube.Load switching fuse cutout provides enforced elasticauxiliary contacts and arc-extinguishing enclosure for switching on/offloading current.At normally working via fuse link tightened the fusetube is fixed to form up of close position.In case system occur faults,fault current result in fuse melt immediately and take place electric arc,which let arc-extinguishing tube being heated and explode a lot of gas.This will produce high pressure and blow off the arc along with tube.
After fuse link melt moving contact has no tightened strength again,mechanism is locked and fuse tube dropout.Cutout now is in openposition.
When it needs to switch off during cut out loading.Operator shall viainsulating operating bar pull the moving contact,at its beginning maincontact and auxiliary static contact is contacted still.
Whiling pulling the auxiliary contact is separated between auxiliarycontacts there occur electric arc and the arc will be lengthened in arc-extinguishing enclosure gap and meanwhile arc-extinguishing explodegas to blow off the arc during current passing zero.
Material:Silicone rubber or Porcelain.Manufacturing Standard:IEC60282-2.

Structural characteristics
Drop-out fused cut out and load Switching fuse cutout are ofoutdoor used high voltage protective device.To be connected withincoming feeder of distribution transformer or distribution line itmainly protect transformer or lines from short circuit and overload,and on/off loading current.
Drop-out fuse cutout is com-posed of insulator supports and fusetube,static contacts is fixed on two sides of insulator support andmoving contact is installed on two ends of fuse tube.Fuse tube iscomposed of inside arc-estinguishing tube,outer phenoliccompound paper tube or epoxy glass tube.
Load switching fuse cutout provides enforced elastic auxiliarycontacts and arc-extinguishing enclosure for switching on/offloading current.At normally working via fuse link tightened the fusetube is fixed to form up of close position.
In case system occur faults,fault current result in fuse meltimmediately and take place electric arc,which let arc-extinguishing tube being heated and ex-plode a lot of gas.This willproduce high pressure and blow off the arc along with tube.
After fuse link melt moving contact has no tightened strength again,mechanism is locked and fuse tube dropout.
Cutout now is in open position.When it needs to switch off during cutout loading.operator shall via insulating operating bar pull themoving contact,at its beginning main contact and auxiliary staticcontact is contacted still.
Whiling pulling the auxiliary contact is separated between auxiliarycontacts there occur electric arc and the arc will be lengthened inarc-extinguishing enclosure gap and meanwhile arc-extingushingexplode gas to blow off the arc during current passing zero.
