Construction and Components:

The fuse is a robust assembly of electrical and mechanical components designed to interrupt fault currents safely and provide clear visual indication.

A. Supporting Structure: A central, hot-dip galvanized steel rod provides the mechanical backbone, offering high tensile strength and excellent corrosion resistance.

B. Insulation System: The core insulating element is a string of 22 grey silicone rubber sheds (weathersheds) molded onto the core rod. This "shedded" design is crucial for:

Creepage Distance: Creating the long 1080mm path along the surface to prevent leakage currents and flashover.

Weather Protection: The umbrella shape sheds rain, snow, and contaminants effectively, maintaining performance in wet conditions.

Pollution Resistance: The large number of sheds (22) provides superior performance in industrial or coastal areas where pollution levels are high.

C. Fuse Assembly:

Fuse Tube & Element: The tube, housed within the insulator structure, contains the fusible element. Under a fault condition (current exceeding the rating), the element melts, creating an arc that is efficiently extinguished inside the tube.

Top Hinge & Arc Chamber: The top assembly includes a hinge mechanism and an arc chute that quenches the electrical arc safely during interruption.

Drop-Out Mechanism: A spring-loaded lever mechanism is engineered so that after the fuse element melts, the lower part of the fuse tube is released. It pivots downward and hangs freely, providing a clear, visible "open" indication to line crews from a distance.

Terminals: Robust upper and lower terminals (clamps) are provided for secure connection to the overhead line conductors.

Production Process and Manufacturing:

The manufacturing of this polymer fuse involves precision engineering and advanced material processing.

Silicone Rubber Insulator Production:

Material Mixing: High-purity silicone rubber is compounded with fillers (like alumina trihydrate - ATH) for tracking resistance and pigments.

Molding: The most common method is Injection Molding or Compression Molding. The mixed compound is injected/placed into a heated mold cavity under high pressure. This process vulcanizes (cures) the rubber, forming the sheds with high dimensional accuracy and excellent electrical properties.

Adhesion: The molded silicone rubber sheds are permanently bonded to the core fibreglass rod (or metal core) using a high-strength adhesive in a controlled process.

Metal Component Fabrication:

Components like the support rod, hinges, and terminals are typically fabricated from steel or aluminum alloys via processes like casting, forging, or machining.

Surface Treatment: Critical for corrosion resistance. The steel support rod undergoes Hot-Dip Galvanization, coating it with a thick, durable layer of zinc.

Assembly and Testing: All components are assembled in a controlled environment. The final product undergoes rigorous testing, including dielectric withstand tests, mechanical load tests, and operational tests of the drop-out mechanism, to ensure compliance with international standards (e.g., IEC, ANSI).

Application Scenarios:

This 36kV drop-out fuse is deployed in various scenarios within public and industrial power distribution systems:

Overhead Line Protection: Used as the primary overcurrent and short-circuit protection for pole-mounted distribution transformers (e.g., 36kV/400V), safeguarding the transformer from damage due to internal faults or network anomalies.

Line Sectionalizing: Installed along overhead lines to isolate faulty sections. When a fault occurs downstream, only the fuse protecting that section operates, minimizing outage times for customers on healthy sections of the line.

Capacitor Bank Protection: Used to protect and switch pole-mounted capacitor banks used for power factor correction in the grid.

Ideal for Harsh Environments: The 1080mm creepage distance and silicone rubber insulation make this fuse particularly suitable for areas with:

Industrial Pollution: Chemical smoke, dust.

Coastal Salinity: Salt-laden air and fog.

High Humidity: Regions with frequent rain or high moisture levels.
