Overview

The Mersen Sure Guard ETP (SKU: 9F59UBD232) is a current-limiting fuse designed for external transformer protection in overhead distribution systems. Rated at 15500V and 25A, this fuse is intended for use in series with another protective device, such as an expulsion fuse. This series combination effectively limits high-fault currents to a safe level, providing comprehensive protection across the entire fault current range. The ETP fuse is specifically engineered for applications where conventional transformers are protected by expulsion-fuse cutouts. In such setups, the ETP fuse can be installed directly in series with the cutout. For self-protected transformers, the ETP fuse is applied on the high-voltage bushing, working in conjunction with the transformer's internal expulsion fuse. This configuration ensures robust protection for critical distribution assets. Manufactured in the US, the ETP fuse offers reliable performance for utility and industrial power distribution networks.
