Shielded fusegear

 


Indoor/outdoor LV distribution up to 3200A


The Shielded range from Merlin Gerin, comprises of fuse cabinets, fuseboards and feeder pillars and goes one step further than traditional exposed live copperwork by screening all live conductors during normal service conditions. Thus Shielded fusegear ensures safety for all entering a substation from

accidental contact with live parts and greatly reducing the risk of an electric shock. The fuseway design fully segregates the main busbars and each outgoing circuit. Individual moulded phase shrouds provide easy access to cable terminations whilst ensuring protection from the adjacent live circuits.

Ease of operation, Shielded fusegear holds the solution

Fuse carriers accept gU type fuselinks with wedge tightening contact whilst the patented through-grip handle ensures easy manual making and breaking of contacts. The fuse carrier design also requires no tools to change the fuse link and the ergonomic design of the thumbscrew lozenge ensures tight fuse link contacts in order to prevent overheating and potential interruptions of the supply.

The shielded fuseway contacts and removable shrouds allow easy ‘hinge in’ and ‘snatch out’ manual switching actions. Solid plastic busbar contact shrouds are provided to maintain operator protection to IPXXB once the fuse handle has been removed. Outgoing cables up to 300mm2 terminate directly to the fixed fuse link contacts with a four position terminal arrangement eliminates phase cable core cross-overs.

Features and benefits

  • Full segregation between phases and neutrals
  • IP41 allows for flexibility of installation location
  • IPXXB operator protection from live conductors - even when changing fuselinks
  • Fully interlocked design for correct operation
  • Independent manual switching mechanism - certified fault make, load break switching
