ABB CEF-S transformers fuses are current-limiting fuses which are especially suited for protecting MV-HV distribution transformers, 6/12kV 30/40.5kV, 6.3-63A and can be used for high power wind farms (up to 3000kVA) when used in combination with NALFWind load break switches. MV-HV fuses, manufactured by ABB, suitable for 12-24kV and 30/40.5kV transformer applications in accordance with IEC specification.
ABB CEF-S-TCU transformer fuses have integrated thermal released striker pins allowing the fuse release to be temperature dependant and overload spots which significantly reduce the fuse temperature during the interruption process. The CEF-S fuse has a high capability up to 50kA and temperature control units increase application safety for gas insulated panels, switchgear and electrical equipment up to 33kV.
CEF-S current limiting fuses are back-up type medium voltage fuses which limit the value of prospective short-circuit currents during the interruption process and extended the life time of nearby installed electrical equipment. ABB CEF-S fuses when used in combination with load break switches equipped with fuse tripping system ensures control over the full range of overload and short-circuit currents.
