Marking
A CE marking is a European marking of conformity that indicates a product
complies with the essential requirements of the applicable European laws or
directives with respect to safety, health and environment and consumer
protection. Generally, this conformity to the applicable directives is done
through self-declaration and is required on products in the countries of the
European Economic Area (EEA) to facilitate trade among the member
countries. The manufacturer or their authorized representative established in
the EEA is responsible for affixing the CE marking to their product. The CE
marking provides a means for a manufacturer to demonstrate that a product
complies with a common set of laws required by all countries in the EEA to allow
free movement of trade within the EEA countries.

L&T’s Switch-Disconnector range conform to the Low voltage directive

A disconnector is a mechanical device that fulfills the requirements specified for the isolation function
in the open position, as specified in IEC 60947-1.

The purpose of an isolator is to cut off the supply from all or a discrete section of the installation by
separating the installation or section from every source of electrical energy for safety reasons.

Load switches (or only “switches”) are mechanical switching devices capable of making, carrying and
breaking currents under normal circuit conditions which may include specified operating overload
conditions and also carrying for a specified time currents under specified abnormal circuit conditions
such as those of short-circuit.

Switch Disconnector Fuses have combined properties of load switches and disconnectors in
addition to the protection offered by fuses.

Utilization Category of S-D-Fs & S-Ds

The Utilization Category of any equipment indicates the type of electrical load and duty cycle of the
load; it is characterized by one or more of the following service conditions:

• Rated operated current

• Rated operated voltage
• Power factor
• Short circuit performance (making & breaking capacity)
• Selection of equipment

Product Standard Utilization Category Application

20 Connecting and disconnecting under no-load

SDFs, Changeovers, SDs 21 Switching of Resistive loads

IS/IEC 60947 (Part 3)
22 Switching of mixed resistive and inductive loads

23 Switching of motor or highly inductive load

Contains suffix: Category A (frequent) or Category B (infrequent) operation

Utilization Category is very important in defining:

1. Electrical & Mechanical life of the equipment.

2. Making & Breaking Capacity of the equipment.

AC-23 is a far stringent test as current is 3.33 times as that in AC-22.

Also, power factor in AC-23 is 0.45 (0.35 in higher ratings). Operating at stringent power factor in
AC-23 implies that thermal performance of the switch would be superior in AC-22 installation.

Benefits of AC-23A Utilization Category

• The electrical and mechanical life of type A switches is 5 times as that of type B switches
• Testing for AC-23A ensures ruggedness
• AC-23A switches run cooler at lighter loads
• AC-23A switches work well in low power factor conditions

any additional low-melting point material, there is up to the rated breaking current. Generally, the
always a called “prohibited” current range allowing breaking range begins at over four times the
the elements to be used only in partial range fuses rated current and hence these are solely
for short-circuit protection. designed for short-circuit protection.

Our HF, HN and HG fuses have gG utilization

category.

Overload disconnection
For disconnection of smaller over currents, a low-melting-point solder consisting usually of tin or tin alloy is
applied on to the centre constriction wherein the fuse-element reaches its highest temperature. As the
solder melts, the adjacent restrictions are dissolved and an arc is initiated which continues in both
directions. At subsequent current zero, the arc is extinguished.

Intensive cooling of the arc channel caused by the melting quartz sand prevents re-ignition of the arc when
the recovery voltage appears. In the arcing area a non-conductive mixture composed of fuse-element
metal, solder and quartz is formed. Due to its appearance, it is also called “fulgurite caterpillar”.

At very high currents, all constrictions melt almost simultaneously, thereby initiating development of
several partial arcs depending on the number of constrictions and forming a fulgurite uniformly extended
over the whole length of the fuse-element which is typical for short-circuit interruptions.

HRC Fuses

Current-limiting short-circuit disconnection

At very high currents, like caused by short circuits, all constrictions heat up simultaneously at a speedy
rate and the fuse element starts evaporating.

If the sand is packed too tightly packed with minute dust particles, extreme high pressure is built inside
the fuse which can cause bursting of the fuse body. If the interspatial volume between the grains is too
large, the arc can extend up to the inside ceramic surface of the fuse body or the end plates and cause
damage the fuse body. Properly graded and carefully prepared sand will intensively cool the arc due to
its energy absorbing ability, with the result that when the arcing voltage exceeds the supply voltage, the
current is already terminated before natural zero of a 50 / 60 Hz alternative current. The peak value of
the prospective short-circuit current is not reached at all.

Therefore, its current-limiting effect is one of the most valuable properties of the fuse, making it
superior to any other over current protection device. Short-circuit usually has a very high first peak
value known as impulse short-circuit current. Its magnetic force effect causes extraordinary stress to
the current-carrying conductors, related clamps and insulation. Using current-limiting fuses help in
keeping magnetic short-circuit forces at a low level and allows to easily control them.

Current-limiting fuses are designed to significantly limit not only the maximum current, but also the let-
2
through energy, expressed in I t values, which occurs, for example, in the case of an arc fault, where a
destructive energy is released at the fault location.

Thus, current limitation is synonymous with limitation of damage and risk to personnel working in live
condition.

Current limitation & Selectivity of fuse as Short circuit protection device

In buildings and industrial plants, radial distribution networks are the norm. In radial distribution
systems there are several protective devices in series, usually with decreasing rated currents from the
supply end to the load end. While the operational currents decrease from the supply end to the load
end, in the event of a short circuit the same fault current will flow through all the protective devices
connected in series. By cascading of the trip characteristics it must be ensured that only the respective
protective device that is closest to the location of the fault trips and hence the fault is selectively limited
to the smallest possible part of the installation.

The basic prerequisite for selectivity of protective devices connected in series is that the trip
characteristic of the downstream (closer to the load) protective device is faster than that of the
upstream device. Special attention should be paid to the area of high over currents, where the effects
of current limitation and breaking times are significant.

This Cascading & selectivity for the fuses is very simple because of the similarity in the characteristics
throughout the range & constant characteristics for complete life of fuse.

Connection of fuses in series

Time t

Current I (r.m.s.)

Fuses connected in series act selectively if their time current-characteristic curves have sufficient
spacing and their tolerance bands do not touch. At high short-circuit currents the melting I2t value of the
upstream fuse must be larger than the breaking I2t value (melting and clearing time) of the smaller
downstream fuse. This is usually the case if their rated currents differ by a factor of 1.6 or more

When fuse is installed as a downstream device, co-ordination between the tripping range of the short-
circuit release of the circuit breaker and cut of current of the fuse can be seamlessly achieved as the
short circuit currents are interrupted instantaneously by the fuse.
