R-RATED MEDIUM VOLTAGE FUSES
Description
Characteristics
R-rated fuses provide required short-circuit protection for
medium voltage motors, motor controllers and associated
circuitry.These components have limited ability to absorb the
energy of large short-circuit currents. Medium voltage motor
controllers contain overload relays which provide both overload
protection and locked rotor protection to the motor.The
controllers are also intended to interrupt low value short-circuits
within the capability of the motor controller.This protects the
medium voltage fuse from sustained overcurrents which are
less than their minimum interrupting rating.
Voltage Ratings
Current Range
2,750 V – 8,250 V
2R – 36R
Options
• Hermetically sealed for use in hazardous locations
(add “S” suffix to part number)
• Bolt-in mounting configurations
Hookeye Feature*
NEMA Standards for R-rated medium voltage power fuses
require they operate within 15-35 seconds when subjected
to an rms current 100 times the R rating. For example, a
fuse with a 2R rating will open within 15 to 35 seconds on
an applied current of 2 x 100 = 200 amperes.
For hookeye attachment; add “W” suffix
to part number
