A Drop-Out Fuse Cutout is an outdoor high-voltage protective device primarily used on the high-voltage side of distribution transformers or branch lines. It provides overload and short-circuit protection and enables safe load current switching for transformers and lines.
The fuse cutout consists of an insulating base, a fixed contact, a moving contact, and a fuse tube. When a fault occurs, the fuse blows and drops out of the circuit, ensuring that the transformer or line remains protected.
These fuses are designed for reliable outdoor operation, handling high voltages and extreme weather conditions.
Instantly interrupts circuits to protect equipment and people.
Available in various specifications for all circuit types.
Reliable performance for long-lasting protection.
Quick to install and simple to maintain.
The drop-out fuse is an expulsion-type protective device primarily designed to safeguard transformers in rural distribution networks. It is especially valuable for use in remote substations, where the ability to visually indicate fuse operation provides a significant advantage.
