Aspects, operation principles and basic parameters described in this manual, are usually applicable to all current-limiting fuses.
The selection criteria, calculation factors and electrical and mechanical data, as well as Selection guide, specifications only apply
to DRIWISA Current Limiting Fuses.
If fuses from other brands are used, the technical aspects must be checked with the manufacturer, because not all fuses are the
same.
Fuse repair or rehabilitation is a non recommended practice by DRIWISA , since the only way to guarantee the reparation
(electrical and mechanical) requires the contaminated sand to be substituted, fluoresces or radiography test on the porcelain
tube, and the cut-element (silver strips) has to be replaced including the striker pin (wire).
DO NOT RISK THE INSTALATION SAFETY AND THE LIVES OF YOUR WORKERS, ALWAYS USE ORIGINAL DRIWISA
FUSES.

Figure 1 shows a fuse chambers formed between the silver strips and the star-shape body. Different from other designs with silver wire, the energy distribution
takes places lengthwise along the fuse body and not in just in one breaking point as done with wire.
The star shaped strip-holder (star-shaped body) tooth edge design, is another difference which guarantees the safe and firm position of the silver strips,
wherefore other designs have a flat porcelain body and do not guarantee the firm position of the strip.
Fuse ends have silver coated electrolytic copper caps which are connected inside to the silver strips ends.
DRS and DRS...F fuse types have a mechanical indicator which operates through a stored spring preloaded energy system with a striker pin that emerges from
a fuse end when the fuse operates with a force of 120 N (12 Kg-force) and a shift of 35 mm. Figure 2 shows the mechanical indicator force-displacement
characteristic.
In accordance with IEC and NMX standard classifications, the striker pin of DRIWISA fuses, is classified as heavy duty (strong) type, and exhaustive tests
have demonstrated that it is capable of activating the DRIWISA disconnector switches or other brands.

FIGURE 3
Short-circuit current interrupting process in a current-limiting fuse
When the short-circuit begins, a minimum resistance opposes the flow of the current ID thus increasing at the same time the current Ik and starting the
temperature elevation process in the fuse link (silver strips). When they reach the IS value, (fuse breaking current or fusion current) the fuse link melts and
interrupts the circuits at several points, with multiple voltaic arcs showing up, whose length increases quickly with the material is melting. Voltage increases very
fast from the moment of the fusion, reaching a maximum (interruption voltage) and the current is limited to the IS value. At this moment the current stars its
decreasing process.
The limiting process is therefore the result of the insertion of the voltaic arcs resistance at several points from the fusion.
When arcs turn cold as a consequence of the surrounding sand, consequently the conductivity is reduced and therefore, the resistance to the current flow
increases quickly. The current decreases gradually at the same time as the voltage. Near the next zero voltage point, the voltaic arcs are extinguished and the
current remains totally interrupted. The events described occur within the first half cycle of the short-circuit current, meaning, in less than 8 to 10 milliseconds.
EDITION 2010
H-7
Formation of multiple voltaic arcs at the fuse length is a result of DRIWISA fuses special design which gives a even voltage distribution and the great amount
of energy (heat) generated during this short process, thus preventing the possibility of arc reignition.
Figure 4 shows the DRIWISA current-limiting fuse characteristics, indicating the let-through current maximum value ID equal to the fusion current IS with
regard to the prospective short-circuit current rms value ( Ik ) for fuses from 6 to 500 A.
FIGURE 4
Maximum let-through current ID referred to the short-circuit prospective current Ik
Line A-A'represents the maximum asymmetrical peak current that will show up in the circuit if there is no fuse. The value of 1.8 x 2 corresponds to the
maximum asymmetric value possible in the network, which represents the most critical condition.
The declining lines correspond to every fuse rated current to mark the maximum let-through current ID (which corresponds to the fusion current IS ) in relation to
the short-circuit prospective current Ik .
For example, for a short-circuit prospective current of Ik = 20 kA (rms), if the current-limiting fuse is not there, the let-through current reaches ID = 1.8 x 2 x 20
kA = 50.9 kA peak . With a 32 A fuse this value is limited to only ID = IS = 4 kA peak within an operation time less than 10 milliseconds.
It is important to consider that for low currents, for which the fusion time is long (including times over one cycle), the fuse does not act as a current-limiting fuse.
Fuses will show their current-limiting characteristic only from a current value where the ID peak is the same as the IS . From this current level the fuse will operate
as a current-limiting fuse (on the right side of the A-A'line in Figure 4).
The point where the line corresponding to IS of every fuse meets with the A-A'straight line, defines the short-circuit current value from which the fuse operates
as current-limiting over the abscissa (X) . If the short-circuit current is lower, the fuse will not operate as a current-limiting fuse. For example, a 75A fuse will
operate as a current-limiting fuse from approximately 2000 A of short-circuit value.
EDITION 2010

FIGURE 5
Typical Time-Current curve for current-limiting fuse
Considering the above mentioned information, the minimum interrupting current value ( I3 ) is defined in each time current curve. Currents below this value ( I3 )
operation for long periods of time are not recommended, because the current (overcurrent) does not have enough magnitude to produce the fusion, but is
enough to produce excessive heating, modifying the fuse links characteristics and causing damages that reduce its ability to interrupt a future event.
Therefore current-limiting fuses must not operate for long periods of time in the range of currents higher than the rated one ( In ) and lower than the minimum
interrupting current ( I3 ). However, if currents are higher than I3 , the fuse operation is quick, sure and defined.
EDITION 2010
H-9
FIGURE 6
Current-limiting fuse operation zones
Even though the fusion process is based on known physical principles and laws, when currents are higher than In (overcurrents) and less than I3 or overcurrents
of an intermittent type, there are difficulties in analyzing and evaluating the fusion process, because the behavior of the fuse will depend on its magnitude and
duration, as well as on the periods between these overcurrents, during which the fuse is able to return to a normal regime or return to its cold state.
If an overcurrent lasts a relatively long time and then stops, it can start the fusion process or reach the amalgamating condition with a rise in temperature due to
energy dissipation during that period of time, changing the fuse links characteristics in a significant way, these are later subject to a new overcurrent regime or
short-circuit, the fuses will react in a different way as to the standard characteristic, producing first heating or inexplicable interruptions and then a reaction
completely out of specification.
Figures 7 and 8 show the DRIWISA fuse time-current characteristic for the range of available rated currents in the manufacturing program, it can be seen that
the minimum interrupting current I3 (beginning at the dotted line) for fuses with rated currents up to 63 A, is about 2.5 times higher than the fuse rated current In
, for rated currents higher than 63 A, the minimum interrupting current I3 is about 3 times the fuse rated current In , while for fuse rated currents of 200 A and
higher, it corresponds to 4 times the rated current In.
RATED CURRENT SELECTION ( In ):
To avoid fuse operation within the overload range, the fuse rated current In is selected with an overdimensioned factor according to the equipment being
protected, which for example, when the transformers are between 1.6 and 2 times the circuit rated current. This way the fuse will be able to hold up with the
magnetization currents (inrush) and even if the transformer works within an overload regime, the fuse will not be exposed to such operation, because the
transformer high thermic capacity is higher than the fuse capacity.
Appling this factor, it will be possible to coordinate protection with other devices such as overcurrent relays, phase fault relays, etc, and protection elements on
the low voltage side, for example, fuses, thermo magnetic switches and other protections. Any current higher than I3, will be interrupted in a time no longer than
10 to 100 sec., according to the corresponding curve in Figures 7 and 8. For a fast transformer protection fuse selection you can use the fast-track tool
available on our website www.driwisa.com
TIME-CURRENT CHARACTERISTIC CURVES:
Graphs in Figures 7 and 8 correspond to DRIWISA fuses time-current performance and represent the response curves under cool conditions, without preloading, at a surrounding temperature of 20 C, with a tolerance margin of 20%, according to the IEC 60282-1 and NMX-J-149-1, for operating times longer
than 0.01 sec.
Graphs in Figure 9 correspond to the I2 t characteristic (Joule integral) applicable to operating times lower than 0.1 sec.

The tight tolerance in the fuse links lineal resistance and a strict quality assurance during the manufacturing process guarantee the characteristic curves
repeatability.
Applying the overdimension factors and following the selection criteria according to the application, the probability of overloading in the fuse above the rated
current In is low. However, based on the knowledge of the network, the probability of overloads with currents higher than In but less than I3 during longer periods
of time should be taken into consideration and protected by other devices, such as overcurrent relays connected to disconnecting devices like switches or loadbreak disconnectors.
The oscillogram in Figure 10 shows the current performance and the voltage during a short-circuit interruption when a DRIWISA fuse type DRS07/100 with a
12 kV maximum rated voltage and 100 A rated current are subjected to a short-circuit prospective current of I k = 63 kA rms .
The current-limiting effect can be deduced when the maximum let-through current ID reaches 15 kA peak that corresponds to the fuse fusion current IS , while
the current that would have flown in the test circuit, replacing the fuse with a very low resistance conductor, would have reached a value of 160.5 kA peak of the
maximum asymmetrical peak current ( 1.8 x 2 x 63 A = 160.5 kA peak ).

In accordance with the international standards IEC 60282-1, VDE 0670 and NMX-J-149-1, the recovery voltage (Ve) at a system frequency is 87% of the fuse
maximum rated voltage (VO). Therefore, in the example shown in Figure 10 the result is:
Ve = 0.87 x Vo = 0.87 x 12 kV = 10.5 kV
EDITION 2010
H-14
OPERATION VOLTAGE ( Vn ):
The interrupting voltage or maneuver voltage generated during the arc extinction process and interrupting currents with a high grade of inductance, is of special
interest. The transient voltage during the interruption process must not exceed the insulation levels coordinated in the network, because it would provoke trouble
mainly at the insulation of other components of the system, among others, at arresters installed on the line. For this reason it is important to use fuses with a
rated voltage in agreement to the network voltage.
When using a fuse with less rated voltage in regard to the network voltage, problems to manage the increasing gradient voltage will arise, while using one with
higher rated voltage and consequently higher interruption voltage would cause a higher increasing gradient voltage and would consequently create problems
with the insulation of other equipments in the network system.
In multiple tests accomplished on DRIWISA fuses, the highest arc interruption voltage value found was of VU = 1.95 x 2 x VO = 2.76 x VO. This value is
considerably lower than those admitted by the standards in table 2. Consequently, using fuses with rated voltages according to network voltages does not
provoke damages to the insulation of equipments connected to the load side, such as transformers, switches, substations, motors, etc. and avoiding the
arresters operation.
Table 2 lists the maximum arc interruption voltages admissible for high voltage fuses in accordance with international standards IEC 60282, VDE 0670 and
NMX-J-149-1.

VOLTAGE
DRIWISA fuses can be installed in three-phase networks where the service voltage does not exceed the fuse rated voltage. In one-phase networks the
service voltage must not be higer than 87% of the fuse rated voltage.
In other cases, the voltage fuse selection must be such as that the maximum interruption voltage (maneuver voltage) does not exceed the maximum voltages
established for the network (see Table 2).
APPLICATION WITH LOAD-BREAK SWITCHES:
Using current-limiting fuses in combination with DRIWISA load-break switches, three-pole group operated with automatic operation and auxilliary trip type
LDTP, an economical and reliable connection and disconnection equipment is obtained.
In this case, minimum interrupting current values I3 may be considered lower ( from 1.8 to 2 times the fuse rated current In ). This is because the fuses striker
pin response, which in case of being used with load-break switches, provokes the operation of the tripping-mechanism and the three phases open
simultaneously.

In front of the equipment which contains the fuses, place an insulating platform for high voltage or a wooden platform with an insulating rug and stay
on it during the operation, more so if the environment is humid.
7)
If working in branch circuits or remote substations, place placards on the main substation or switch to let everyone know that someone is working
there.
B)
THINK FIRST AND THEN ACT, remember that when working with high voltage, the FIRST MISTAKE may be THE LAST ONE.

Open the cabinet door; stay strategically where the door does not hit you, or receive projections from inside.
EDITION 2010
H-17
FUSES MAY REACH HIGH TEMPERATURES, SO WHEN THE CABINET DOOR IS OPENED, THEY CAN
RECEIVE A THERMAL IMPACT THAT MAY CRACK OR MAKE THE PORCELAIN TUBE EXPLODE. THEREFORE
LET THE FRESH AIR ENTER SLOWLY.
10)
Connect the ground cable (use the correct length of cable and a hook stick) to the substation's grounding bus bar or to grounded structures, and then
to the phases (If you dont have a grounding switch integrated to the equipment).
11)
Find out and determine what caused the fuse blow, it can be a short-circuit or an overload. Eliminate the trouble, remove the remains and
make a general cleaning.
12)
13)
Inspect the new fuses and make sure they do not show mistreatment, cracks or fissures, check that the porcelain tube is not broken, grooved or
scratched, nor dented the caps. If the above mentioned things happen, do not use them, because their use is very risky.
Verify that the fuse striker pin is in its correct position inside the cap.
14)
Fuse copper caps are silver-plated to give them excellent conductivity and assure a good electrical contact. DO NOT USE SANDPAPER OR STEEL
WOOL TO CLEAN THE CAPS IF THEY ARE DIRTY OR IF THEY HAVE TURNED BLACK, this does not affect their electric conductivity features.
Use a soft, slightly damp cloth with silver cleaning solution that does not contain any abrasive or aggressive materials.
Do not place metallic or metallized labels on the fuse body, this may provoke external arcs, because the dielectric distance in the air between the
caps is reduced.
Remove the old fuses with pliers DW-018 and replace them with DRIWISA fuses of the same characteristics: Type, rated voltage and rated current.
Never use fuses of different brands, different types, different rated voltage or different current (even if they are of the same brand, since their
characteristics are not the same) in the same circuit.
15)
In three-phase systems it is recommended to replace all three fuses even when only one has blown since the others may be damaged and
cause problems later (IEC 60282-1 and NMX-J-149-1).
PRECAUTION:
FUSES MAY STAY HOT, PLACE THEM ON THE SAND BED, LETTING ENOUGH TIME PASS BEFORE TOUCHING
THEM WITH BARE HANDS.
16)
If the fuses are installed in load-break disconnector switches, verify the operation of the trip mechanism.
17)
Place the new fuses carefully, making sure the clip assemblies make the proper contact with the fuse caps. When inserting the fuses in the clip
assemblies, apply pressure to the ends and not to the middle of the fuse. Do not hit the fuse.
18)
Remove all the tools that have been used and verify that no tools remain behind in the cabinet.
19)
Disconnect the grounding switch or the ground connections, whatever the case may be.
20)
Close the cabinet door, connect the non-load isolator switch and connect the high voltage supply.
21)
When the fuse operation is caused by overloads, verify the load calculations and if necessary ask for three new fuses at the adequate rated current
according to the new calculation.
SELECTION:
When selecting current-limiting fuses always consider the following factors:
