Overview

The Mersen 228-700-520 is a set of fuse clips and live parts designed for the secure ferrule mounting of size D(3) diameter fuses. These components are essential for reliable electrical connections in industrial applications. They are engineered to accommodate 3-inch diameter medium voltage ferrule type fuses, including one and two barrel configurations. The clips and reinforcing springs are intended for bolting to a copper busbar via two slots measuring .41" and 1.06". A minimum copper bus section of 1/4" x 1-1/2" is recommended for maximum ratings of 24R and 450E. The 228-700-520 provides a robust connection, minimizing contact resistance and the risk of arcing. This product is suitable for power distribution panels, industrial control panels, renewable energy systems, and manufacturing equipment where consistent electrical continuity is critical. Mersen's commitment to quality ensures long-term performance and operational efficiency. This offering includes one pair of clips, sufficient for one fuse.

Fuse supports, non-disconnecting, are used primarily in potential transformer circuits, or where there is some other disconnecting or isolating device in series with the fuse in the circuit. Disconnecting switch devices have the additional feature of serving to isolate the equipment they protect. It should be noted that disconnecting switches are not load-breaking devices, therefore, the circuit must be open prior to the fuse disconnection. Select either a fuse support or a disconnecting switch for each fuse. Fuse supports and disconnecting switches include live parts for both ends. Both fuse supports and fuse disconnect switches can be mounted vertically or horizontally. The type EK are used for indoor installations while the type EKO are used outdoors. 15500 Volts EKO-3D CGL series.
