ABB CEF-OT transformer fuses are current-limiting fuses which are especially suited for protecting MV-HV transformers, capacitor banks, cable feeders and overhead lines against short-circuits, 12-24kV, 20 and 31.5A.
MV-HV fuses, manufactured by ABB, are suitable for 11kV/12kV and up to 24kV transformer applications in accordance with IEC specification. ABB CEF-OT transformer fuses were designed specially to be used in combination with TPC bushings and TPC II switch-disconnector, which are used in ABB TPC medium/high voltage distribution transformers.
The design of the fuse-links provides resistance to high temperatures and vacuum during transformers manufacturing process. The CEF-OT fuse can be operated whilst immersed in transformer oil at temperatures from -40ºC up to +80ºC, within indoor and outdoor installations between -40ºC and +40ºC and inside TPC bushings.
CEF-OT 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-OT 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.

ABB CEF-OT fuse-links protect MV transformers, capacitors banks, cable feeders and overhead lines against short-circuit consequences. Fuse-links were designed specially to be used in combination with TPC bushing and TPC II switch-disconnector, which are used in ABB’s TPC distribution transformers. The design of medium voltage fuse-links provides resistance to high temperatures and vacuum during transformers manufacturing process.
ABB CEF-OT fuse-links can be operated under the following conditions:
- MV fuses immersed in transformer oil, at temperatures from -40°C to +80°C
- In outdoor and indoor installations, at temperatures from -40°C to +40°C
- Inside a TPC bushing.
