Product Name: Fault Tamer Fuse Limiter

Product Description

S&C Fault Tamer Fuse Limiters combine the functions of a conventional fuse cutout and a backup current-limiting fuse in one powerful package which can be easily incorporated in new or existing installations of 14.4-kV, 25-kV, and 25/34.5-kV overhead pole-top transformers. Fault Tamer addresses the critical issues facing protection engineers today. Current-limitation — Fault Tamer protects against high-magnitude internal faults and bushing flash-overs. Improved service continuity — Fault Tamer coordinates with lateral fuses over the full range of faults, coordinates with station breaker's instantaneous setting . . . eliminates momentary interruptions. Enhanced power quality — Fault Tamer reduces voltage dips . . . faults won't affect sensitive electronics served by adjacent feeders. Maximum surge protection — high inrush withstand allows tank mounting of arresters . . . without nuisance fuse operations. Simpler handling — since Fault Tamer's combination fuse tube and limiter drop open after an operation, it can be removed from the ground using an "extendo" stick. Retrofittability — Fault Tamer is designed to fit into all vintages of S&C cutouts. You can upgrade to Fault Tamer's superior current-limiting protection at minimal cost. Heightened safety — no parts expelled, no sparks produced. S&C's Fault Tamer Fuse Limiters are manufactured in accordance with a quality system certified to ISO9001:2000. Applicable for protection of single-phase-to-neutral transformers only where the leakage distance to ground meets user's requirements.
