G&W EPOX Encapsulated Full Range

®

Current Limiting Fuses

G&W’s EPOX encapsulated fuses provide the current
limiting protection of an X-LimiterTM full range fuse within a
completely sealed, rugged epoxy housing designed for
submersible applications. No derating of the fuse is
required. Terminal connections consist of IEEE 200A
bushing wells, permitting the use of 200A deadbreak and
loadbreak bushing inserts and elbows. The small size
and ease of installation of the fuses make them ideal for
padmount, vault or subsurface applications where space
is at a premium. Optional stainless steel mounting
brackets with integral parking stands allow the fuses to
be mounted easily with a minimal support structure.

FEATURES Two position feedthrough fuse with mounting bracket.

Ease of installation - The economical, one piece EPOX Three position configurations with line-tap capability are
encapsulated fuse can be easily installed and removed. also available.
There is no assembly of components or special tools
required. Hold down straps permit fuse removal without
removing the mounting bracket.

Rugged construction using EPOX technology - G&W’s

EPOX quality process uses time-proven CIBA-GEIGY®
229 epoxy resin to assure a void-free, extremely durable
system impervious to environmental contamination. The
epoxy system is UL listed and provides excellent mechani-
cal and electrical properties, excellent fracture toughness,
and outstanding thermal endurance.

A permanently bonded, external semi-conducting coating

provides a fully shielded system. Semi-conductive wrap
assures positive contact to the mounting hardware.

Tested Reliability - EPOX fuses are designed and tested

to applicable sections of ANSI C37.40, ANSI C37.41, ANSI
C37.47 and ANSI/IEEE 386 standards.

Customizing Capability - G&W specializes in custom

solutions to meet the ever changing needs of it’s custom-
ers. Contact your G&W representative with specific
application requirements.

SERIES I FUSE - 2 POSITION DESIGN
The 2 position, feedthrough design is G&W’s most
compact encapsulated fuse. The small space
required for mounting makes the feedthrough design
ideal for vault, transformer, and padmount installations.
The optional 304 stainless steel mounting bracket can
be mounted horizontal or vertically. Integral parking
stands can be rotated to match the installation. Hold
down straps allow fuse replacement without removing
the bracket and also provide direct surface mounting of
the fuse for padmount installations.

ORDERING INFORMATION
From the table above, specify Fuse Catalog Number followed by the current rating in amps.
Example: FSE2PA83F030 (2 -Position Fuse, 8.3kV, 30 amps).
Order the optional 304 stainless steel mounting bracket (see chart for catalog number) as a separate line item. The
bracket comes with separate parking stands for each 200A interface.

SERIES I FUSE - 3 POSITION DESIGN
The 3 position “feedthrough/line tap” design provides a
2 position “U” junction on the line side and a single
position tap on the fuse load. An arrestor or insulating
plug can also be inserted into the second line location.
The optional 304 stainless steel mounting bracket can
be mounted horizontal or vertically. Integral parking
stands can be rotated to match the installation. Hold
down straps allow fuse replacement without removing
the bracket and also provide direct surface mounting of
the fuse for padmount installations.
