CURRENT LIMITING CONSTRUCTION: • Silver element in a double concentric helical configuration • Silica filler • Silver plated copper terminals and endcaps • Filament wound, glass epoxy fuse tube AGENCY APPROVALS: UL pending. FEATURES: • General Purpose Fuses. Bussmann’s medium voltage fuses provide general purpose protection and are capable of interrupting fault currents up to 50,000A RMS sym. • Clip-Lock Double Barrel Fuse Design. • Indoor and Outdoor Usage. The filament wound, glass epoxy fuse tube provides UV and moisture protection for the fuse. This makes Bussmann’s medium voltage fuses suitable for both indoor and outdoor applications. • Blown Fuse Indication. Indicator travel distance is 16mm. • Operating Frequency: 50/60 Hz • Time Current Curves and Dimensional Data: ECL155 series , see page 3. • Peak Let-Through Curves. see page 3.

General Purpose - defined by ANSI C37.40 as “a fuse capable of interrupting all currents from the maximum rated interrupting current down to the current that causes melting of the fusible element in one hour.” Not all currents fall within this range. It is possible to receive an overcurrent lower than the value given by the one hour criterion. Back-up - defined by ANSI C37.40 as “a fuse capable of interrupting all currents from the maximum rated interrupting current down to the rated minimum interrupting current.” The minimum rated interrupting current is the lowest current that the fuse will be able to clear properly. This creates a need to place a low current interrupting device in series with the back-up rated fuse. 5-9-00 SB00055 Rev.
