General Description
DRIESCHER h.v.h.b.c. fuses are automatic and selectively acting medium-voltage switchgears for the voltage range from 6 to 36 kV. With their extremely fast short-circuit interruption they reliably protect transformers, cables, capacitors and switching installations against the thermal and dynamic effects of short circuits. DRIESCHER h.v.h.b.c. fuses are designed for installation in air and gas-insulated switches in outdoor switches in troublesome climates Their dimensions are in compliance with the DIN 43625 and meet the requirements of DIN EN 60282-1, IEC 60787, IEC 60644, IEC 60549, and EN 62271-105.

Types
DRIESCHER h.v.h.b.c. fuses are back-up fuses which can interrupt all currents from the rated breaking current I1 down to their smallest breaking current I3. All types of our h.v.h.b.c. fuses are made with porcelain tubes which are glazed brown for use indoors and outdoors. The contact faces of the ferrules are of the same diameter irrespective of type, rated current and rated voltage. All h.v.h.b.c. fuses with a striker impact force of 80 N are provided with integrated thermal protection as standard. H.v.h.b.c. fuses are also available with a release force of 120 N, but without thermal protection.
Rated Voltage 12 kV 24 kV 36 kV Part Number 796 15... (according to A) 796 25... (according to A) 796 35... (according to A)

Design
The parallel connected fuse elements of the DRIESCHER h.v.h.b.c. fuses are made of pure silver. The fuse element design and manufacturing method of the reduced cross section areas ensure a close characteristic tolerance. These fuse elements are wound on a star-shaped ceramic support and are welded at the end by resistance welding at the silver plated ferrules. The copper ferrules are pressed onto the porcelain tube, i.e. they are mechanically connected to the porcelain tube and are additionally provided with a permanent elastic sealing.

H.v.h.b.c. fuses with striker type SSK and thermal protection up to 125 A
Type SSK, release force 80 N

High-voltage high breaking capacity fuses type SSK for the protection of high power transformers with a special alignment to the rated transient current of switch-fuse combinations according to EN 62271-105.

These high-voltage high breaking capacity fuses complete the existing product range. The fuses are specially used in switches with relatively low values of switch opening times and of the transient current which are used in front of transformers with a power of more than 630 kVA. (Because of the favourable relation between transient current of the fuse and the rated transient current of the switch in case of lower transformer powers, standard fuses can be used). The determination of the rated current of the fuses for the transformer protection is effected according to the recommendations of the fuse manufacturers following VDE 0670 Part 402. The main aim was to reduce the melting times below 100 ms clearly, without influencing further fuse characteristics in a negative way. The requirements for a lower temperature rise have been successfully carried out, the output in the rated operation of the corresponding transformer is only 70 to 75 watt. Further on, the known low value of the minimum breaking current of our standard high-voltage high breaking capacity fuses in the height of 3.5 times of the rated current was kept the same.

Advantages: Quick time-current behaviour in the transition range of "quick switches Suitable for high transformer capacity Low output Low temperature rise Low values of the minimum breaking current I3

Short-circuit current limitation
DRIESCHER high-voltage high breaking capacity fuses already break during the current rise in the first loop of short-circuit current. They are thus short-circuit current limiting. The progress of a short circuit break is shown in the figure below. Without a fuse connected upstream the short-circuit current would behave as shown by the broken line Ik(t) and reach the maximum value Ip (peak short-circuit current). The current limiting action of the fuse, however, only permits the cut-off current iD to rise up to the height of the melting current is (full line). During the arcing time tL the current decreases with increasing arc length and is finally broken in the vicinity of the voltage zero passage. The current limiting action of the fuses relieves equipment and system parts of thermal and dynamic stress. It is clear that the application of current-limiting fuses is particularly advantageous in older installations which have not been designed for the increase in system shortcircuit levels. The value of the cut-off current is influenced by the design of the fuse. It also depends on the rated current (fuse element cross section), the rate of current rise and the moment in which the short circuit occurs.

Short-circuit current limitation
From the following diagram the cut-off current of the DRIESCHER high-voltage high breaking capacity fuses can be determined as a function of the r.m.s. value of the symmetrical component and of the rated current. The prospective short-circuit current Ik" is expressed by the r.m.s. value of the symmetrical component of the short-circuit current Ik(t) at the instant of the short circuit which would flow at the position of installation if the fuse were replaced by a link. The cut-off currents determined give the maximum value which might occur for a given r.m.s. value of the symmetrical component of the prospective short-circuit current with highest rate of current rise. Actual values are thus, as a rule, below the values determined.

Time/current characteristics for DRIESCHER h.v.h.b.c fuses from 6.3 to 160 A
The diagram below shows the pre-arching time/current characteristics of DRIESCHER h.v.h.b.c fuses with rated currents from 6.3 to 160 A. Close tolerances of the elements (tolerance 0.003mm), stringent controls during manufacture and a conscientious electrical checking of the required values on finished fuses assure that the characteristics are being met within narrow limits.

Application of switch-fuse combination
in accordance with EN 62271-105 on distribution transformers

Switch-fuse combinations are used for operational medium voltage-side on and off switching of distribution transformers in secondary substations. They additionally have the task of protecting these transformers against the impact of internal and external faults. These combinations comprise a functional unit of switch disconnectors and back-up fuses. By means of the fuses the breaking capacity of the combination is extended beyond that of a simple switchdisconnector up to the rated short-circuit breaking current. The high-voltage high breaking capacity fuse, according to statistics of the VDN (German Association of Electricity Network Operators) is rated as reliable transformer protection. The h.v.h.b.c. fuse in combination with a switch disconnector provides a simple solution which is very economical to procure and run. This provides a clear-cut advantage over a circuit breaker with the associated current transformers and

overcurrent time protection. Besides this, the h.v.h.b.c. fuse has a current limiting effect when short-circuits occur and reliably interrupts the fault current of the first half cycle. These properties are advantageous for the dimensional design of the network. The following tables give fuse recommendations which take the following points into account: Inrush current when switching on off-load transformers Permissible overload 150% Primary short-circuit interruption upon secondary terminal short circuit. The manufacturer of the combination will provide a recommended list of suitable fuse makes. Type STA SSK Manufacturer DRIESCHER Moosburg Siba Lnen

Thermal protection
All DRIESCHER h.v.h.b.c. fuses with a release force of 80 N and a rated current of up to 160 A are equipped with thermal protection as standard. This thermal protection is for preventing impermissibly high temperatures developing in insulated or gas insulated switchgears. Important: Incorrect assignment of the h.v.h.b.c. fuses for the equipment to be protected (e.g. transformer) can lead to faults if: a) the fuse is rated too low, through partial break of the fuse element as a result of the starting current inrush which, with auto-reclose, can occur several times in succession in an uncontrolled manner, b) the fuse is rated too high, in that when a short circuit occurs on the transformer low-voltage side (between transformer connection and low-voltage protection) or permanent overload of the transformer, the current flowing through the h.v.h.b.c. fuse is below its minimum breaking current. In these and other cases the thermal protection devices release the striker pin and trip the associated switch usually a load-break switch before the temperatures at the fuse reach a value endangering the thermal strength, of the porcelain tube, for example:

Testing cartridge
Testing cartridges are used to test the mechanical function of switch disconnectors with mounted high-voltage high breaking capacity fuses and striker in the dead condition. The dimensions are the same like the original high-voltage high breaking capacity fuses according to DIN 43625. The release is effected through pressing the push button 1 what causes the ejection of the striker with a release force of 70 N and a path length of 30 mm. During this functional test it is ensured that high-voltage high breaking capacity fuses with a release force of 80 N and a path length of 35 mm are able to release a switch-fuse combination safely and properly. After each release the striker has to be pushed in again. The testing cartridges are clearly marked and have a plastic tube instead of a porcelain tube. Caution! Only use testing cartridges in the dead condition! To keep the release force of the testing cartridges constant for years, it is necessary to store them in a released condition (with released striker). Since April 1st, 2003 all testing cartridges are marked through a fabrication number. The corresponding test badge 2 shows the date the testing cartridge has to sent back to the factory for being newly calibrated.
