Fuses

The Sure Guard ETP back-up current-limiting fuses are designed to protect overhead distribution systems and are used in series with another protective device (such as an expulsion fuse). This combination limits the high-fault current to a safe level, thus providing protection through the complete range. As its name implies, the “ETP” is for External Transformer Protection. For conventional transformers protected by expulsion-fuses cutouts, the ETP can be installed in series with the cutout. For self protected transformers, the ETP can be applied on the high-voltage bushing in series with the internal transformer expulsion fuse.
