Simplicity and high reliability

The majority of existing street lighting networks are normally protected by a common Feeder
Protection Device (FPD). FPD is based on a simple overcurrent unidirectional technique to
protect against faults on the street lighting cables. The Mersen fuse technology ensures safety
in street lighting applications by providing better coordination, immediate isolation and ensures
fire safety through safe and correct fuse selection.

All the circuit protection solutions shown in this catalogue are ASTA 20 certified* and comply
with the RoHS European Directive. Mersen BS88 fuses are UKCA and CE approved.

For your own safety do NOT open BS88 fuse holders onload.

* Note that any items marked with * are not ASTA 20 certified.

FEEDER PILL AR FUSE LINKS

Ensuring continuous service

The Mersen range of Low Voltage Feeder Pillar Fuse Links are designed for the use with wedge
type fuse carriers with fixing centres of 82mm and 92mm. These are primarily for use by
Electricity Supply Industries in distribution pillars, open type substation boards, heavy duty
service cut-outs and underground disconnecting boxes.

The Mersen range of House Service Fuse Links are designed for the use in consumer
distribution boards, electricity control units, houses and office buildings.

All the circuit protection solutions shown in this catalogue are ASTA 20 certified* and comply
with the RoHS European Directive. Mersen BS88 fuses are UKCA and CE approved.

For your own safety do NOT open BS88 fuse holders onload.

* Note that any items marked with * are not ASTA 20 certified.

The following procedure for selecting secondary fuse should be observed (Feeder Pillar fuse):
a) Transformer ratings
• Service voltage (U)
• Rated output (S)
• Relative short-circuit voltage (UK 4%)
• Inrush current (factor 8…12 IN)
b) Time current characteristics of HV/LV fuse links

3. Procedure based on an example:

A 50 kVA transformer has a transformer rated primary full load current of 2.6A with a ratio 11kV/415V.
The short circuit current on secondary terminal short-circuit is given from the relative short-circuit voltage.
The fuse should be selected to operate within 2 seconds as the transformer is designed to withstand
minimum short circuit current (25 IN) for 2 seconds. The primary fuse link is selected to ensure withstand
of primary inrush current of 12 IN for 0.1 seconds.
Selection of secondary fuse is based on the full load current which includes 130% overload withstand
for 3 hours(secondary maximum current is 90.5A) and with temperature correction factor, the fuse-link
rating of 125A is selected (Please refer to Mersen Feeder Pillar fuse range-BJU42V125PA).

To check whether the selected fuse is ok, the following conditions needs to be satisfied.
• Referring to the curve above which consists of primary fuse time-current curve along with the
secondary fuse time-current curve reflected on to primary, it is found that the selected secondary fuse
will be operated within 2 seconds for minimum Short Circuit fault current on secondary side, thus
protecting transformer from secondary faults
