Overview

The ABB 168FLR3-B5240 molded current limiting fuse housing is designed for medium-voltage distribution systems requiring precise fault protection. This housing accommodates fuse voltages up to 8.3kV and supports cable insulation diameters from 0.635 inch (16mm) to 0.905 inch (23mm), making it compatible with a range of conductor sizes including 1/0 AWG stranded/compressed and 2/0 AWG solid/compact conductors. The unit features two capacitive test ports for safe diagnostic access without system de-energization, enabling efficient maintenance and testing procedures. Engineered for compatibility with ABB’s current limiting fuse solutions, this housing provides a robust enclosure that maintains electrical integrity under fault conditions. The bi-metal conductor interface ensures reliable thermal and mechanical performance, while the large housing design accommodates standard fuse assemblies for 8.3kV class systems. Typical applications include industrial substations, commercial power distribution, and utility networks where current limiting protection is critical to prevent equipment damage and minimize downtime.
