If you're ever near Rotherham/Sheffield let me know, you'd probably appreciate seeing our arc furnaces - 33kV 130MVA transformer with a tap changer to vary between 600V down to 50V on the secondary. Then we put a short on the output and melt 165 tons of steel with it :)

ive seen suitable fuses for photon, on one job, a rewire of a rented house that drug dealers had converted into a cannabis farm they had used copper pipe cut to size as the main bs88 fuse and also on another site i discovered a chippy who had no fuses had used a nail bent back on itself in half to fit as s fuse in the plug of his transformer. i have also seen a photo of screws, blown fusea then wrapped in tin foil, bolts and cut to size threaded rod..... ive also seen a mouse who used itself as a fuse in an old wire fuse DB, assume it was an accident he had chewed his way into the board and brisged between the buzz bar and load side, was quite cooked, dont think he was very highly rated, could have ran LEDs for a while now adays

@gglovato10 жыл бұрын
what do the explosive pins do specifically?, i mean, how do they trip the rest of the phases? how does that system works?
@LogicalNiko10 жыл бұрын
These fuses typically sit in a 3-Phase setup, so you will generally see 3 of these sitting side-by-side with a separator in between to prevent arc over. The contacts on the top of each will be mechanically linked (so they all disengage and engage at the same time). This will also generally be linked to a cutoff lever. When the explosive pin triggers it lifts the contact off the top of the fuse, which because its linked to the other 2 phases, that will lift the contact off all 3. The idea is to cause a current break on the entire circuit when any one blows to prevent phase imbalance.
@C4mpblor9 жыл бұрын
My guess is that it completes a circuit above the fuse holder which shuts everything else off.
@Boetang1239 жыл бұрын
It's to ensure the other two phases are taken offline as well during a fault. The striker pin hits a bar that disconnects all three phases at the same time from the feed inside the switchgear. If all the other fuses / relays in that 11Kv circuit (main ring) are graded correctly then only that sub gets disconnected and the HV guys only have to visit one site, rather than piss about at the transmission end CB's.

@zubberification11 жыл бұрын
It's called a striker and has 2 purposes. 1. It is an indicator that the fuse has blown. 2. In three phase installations, it will trip all three phases if one fuse blows, as long as the switch gear has that ability.

When the pyrotechnic charge blows in the end of the fuse you said that pin releases to trip the remaining phases. Does it come into contact with something else? possibly a switch? What does the "fuse holder" look like? (for lack of better words)
