Type XS Fuse Cutouts
Operation
Type XS Fuse Cutouts provide superior mechanical handling and electrical performance, including:
- Easy fuse link installation — even with gloved hands
- Easy fuse tube insertion (and removal)
- Superb alignment when closing — from any angle and under adverse conditions of light and weather
- No fuse link breakage
- Completely reliable dropout action — regardless of fault-current level
- Mates perfectly with S&C’s Loadbuster® Tool — for sure, reliable load switching
Operation with Loadbuster, S&C’s Portable Loadbreak Tool:
Attach.
Reach across the front of the cutout and attach Loadbuster’s anchor to the attachment hook on the far side of the cutout, and then engage its pull ring with Loadbuster’s pull-ring hook. Loadbuster’s pull-ring latch prevents inadvertent disengagement of the cutout pull ring and Loadbuster’s pull-ring hook.
Pull.
A firm, steady downward pull on Loadbuster — to its maximum extended length — opens the cutout in the normal manner as the current is diverted through Loadbuster. At a predetermined point in the opening stroke, Loadbuster trips, breaking the circuit positively.
Remove.
Loadbuster is disengaged by first removing its anchor from the cutout attachment hook. Then, with the blade in the open position, Loadbuster is removed from the pull ring with a simple “roll-off” motion.
