CATALOG SYMBOL: ECL055
E-RATED MEDIUM VOLTAGE FUSES:
Meets E requirements per ANSI C37.46
Meets General Purpose requirements per ANSI C37.40
FOR TRANSFORMER AND FEEDER PROTECTION
VOLTAGE RATING: 5.5 KV
INTERRUPTING RATING: 63KA Maximum Sym.
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 63,000A RMS sym.
• Clip-lock and bolt-in style available in double and triple
barrel fuse designs.
• 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:
ECL055 series , see page 3.
• Peak Let-Through Curves. see page 3.

Current-limiting medium voltage fuses are classified into three categories:
Full Range - defined by ANSI as “a fuse capable of interrupting all currents from the maximum rated interrupting current down to the
minimum continuous current that causes melting of the fusible element(s), when the fuse is applied at the maximum ambient temperature specified by the manufacturer.” It is able to interrupt any normal 60 cycle current that will melt its element.
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.
