Elastimold Fused Loadbreak Elbows

The document discusses Elastimold fused loadbreak elbows, which combine current-limiting fusing and loadbreak elbow switching to improve the reliability of underground distribution systems. The fused elbows can replace existing 200A tap elbows and protect light-duty distribution equipment like sub-loops and radial taps. They provide full-range current-limiting fusing up to 50kA and are rated for voltages from 5kV ungrounded to 28kV grounded Wye. Elastimold fused elbows have been tested according to industry standards and provide a cost-effective way to improve system reliability.

Notes:
N1. Ratings have maximum interrupting capability of 50 kA, except 17.2 kV 3 A (EFX172003-E) which tested at 44 kA.
N2. Fuses have a rated maximum application temperature (RMAT) of 65 °C. RMAT is the maximum temperature of the air, in contact with the elbow housing,
at which fuses have been shown to be suitable for use.
N3. Tabulated maximum total I 2t values are for currents of 50,000 A at the nominal voltage of the fuse. Values for 8.3 kV fuses at 10 kV are approximately 30% higher.
Values for 17.2 kV fuses at 15.5 kV are approximately 20% lower.
N4. Maximum total I 2t values are reduced for currents below 50,000 A. For example, at 10,000 A, maximum total I 2t values are approximately 15% less than the published values.
N5. Peak arc voltages listed are for 50,000 A currents at the rated maximum voltage listed. Reduced currents and voltages will reduce the peak arc voltage.
Consult the factory for further information.
N6. Maximum continuous currents at ambient temperatures other than those listed may be determined by derating the fuses by .2% per degree C over 25 °C.
For example: At 40 °C the derating would be 15 x .2 = 3%, making the maximum continuous current of a 17.2 kV, 25 A fuse 31.5 x .97 = 30.5 A.
N7. Time-current characteristic curves are published at 25 °C. Reduction in the long time melting current of the fuses (approximately one hour and longer) due to higher
ambient temperatures is the same as described above for “Maximum continuous currents.”

Notes:
[Link] A = 140–200% of transformer rating and Column B = 200–300% of transformer rating.
[Link] in parentheses are 17.2 kV fuses.
3. 8.3 kV, 3–45 A fuses and 15.5 kV, 6–20 A fuses are used in the small (size 1) elbow housing; 8.3 kV, 65–80 A fuses and 17.2 kV, 3–45 A fuses are used in the large (size 3) elbow
fuse housing.
4. Recommended fuses meet inrush criteria of 12 times transformer full-load current for .1 second and 25 times transformer full-load current for .01 second. Fuses also meet cold-load
pickup criteria of 6 times transformer full-load current for 1 second and 3 times transformer full-load current for 10 seconds.
A. Fuse allows greater than 300% of transformer rating.
For applications with Delta connections or less than 50% grounded load, the fuse maximum voltage must be greater than system line to line voltage, which may require using the next
larger system class housing and fuse.

Notes:
N1. Designs have a 50,000 A RMS symmetrical rating.
N2. 10–50 A fuses have a rated maximum application temperature of 65 °C, and 65–180 A fuses have a rated maximum application temperature of 40 °C. (RMAT is the maximum
temperature of the air in contact with the MCLF housing at which the fuses have been shown suitable for use.)
N3. Tabulated maximum total I 2t values are for currents of 50,000 A at the nominal voltage of the fuse. Fuses that have a rated maximum voltage higher than their nominal voltage
rating will have a higher I²T let-through when applied at voltages up to these higher values. For example, maximum total I 2t values are increased by approximately 30% when 8.3 kV
fuses are applied at 10 kV and approximately 25% when 15.5 kV fuses are used at 17.2 kV.
N4. Maximum total l²T values are reduced for currents below 50,000 A. For example, at 10,000 A, I 2t values are approximately 15% less than the published values.
N5. Peak arc voltages quoted are for 50,000 A currents at the rated maximum voltage listed. Reduced currents and voltages will reduce the peak arc voltage.
Consult the factory for further information.
N6. Maximum continuous currents at higher ambient temperatures may be determined by derating the fuses by .2% per degree C over 25 °C.
For example: At 40 °C, the derating would be 15 x .2 = 3%, making the maximum continuous current of a 20 A fuse 23.0 x .97 = 22 A.

Notes:
[Link] A = 140–200% of transformer rating and Column B = 200–300% of transformer rating.
[Link] in parentheses are 5.5 kV fuses.
3. Recommended fuses meet inrush criteria of 12 times transformer full-load current for .1 second and 25 times transformer full-load current for .01 second. Fuses also meet cold-load
pickup criteria of 6 times transformer full-load current for 1 second and 3 times transformer full-load current for 10 seconds.
A. Fuse allows greater than 300% of transformer rating.
For applications with Delta connections or less than 50% grounded load, the fuse maximum voltage must be greater than system line to line voltage, which may require using the next
larger system class housing and fuse.
