SAIF - switched and insulated fusegear

   


Merlin Gerin’s Switched And Insulated Fusegear (SAIF) is the world’s safest feeder pillar range. Fully tested it provides IPXXB operator protection in alloperating conditions, even when fuse links are being replaced with the pillar remaining live.

Fault make and load break switching can be performed safely, thanks to its ASTA-certified switching. The switching utilises the fully transferable independent manual switching mechanism, which, to ensure safety, is the only way that the fuse carrier

SAIF Switched & Insulated Fusegear
can be switched ‘on’or ‘off’. A fully interlocked design ensures correct operation and switching is independent from the skill of the operator, or the speed with which the handle is turned. SAIF is factory assembled in a choice of outdoor feeder pillar, fuse cabinet or indoor fuseboard providing safe solutions for LV distribution, with the added benefit of minimum maintenance. SAIF’s unique qualities have proved successful in markets around the world, being extensively used by utilities, commercial and industrial customers.
