Fully SF6 gas insulated medium voltage switchgear up to 40.5 kV in accordance with IEC Standards
As an option, an auxiliary blown fuse indication
for any of the three fuses is also available.
More precisely, it consists of a normally
open contact and a normally closed contact
(1NO + 1NC) for auxiliary circuits such as an
illuminated indication showing that any of the
fuses has blown.
In order to replace the fuses, the following procedures
must be followed:
1. Close the earthing switch (c).
2. Remove the cable and fuse compartment access
cover by pulling the handle (d) up.

5. Replace the blown fuse, taking special care with the
striker as shown in the figure.

Make sure that the end of the new fuse with
the striker faces the carriage insulator end. It
is advisable to change all three fuses, even
if only one of them appears to be damaged.
6. Insert the fuse holder carriage in its compartment by
pulling it inward.
