‘R’ Rated Motor Fuses

MVR fuses are current and energy limiting fuses intended for the backup protection of medium voltage motor control. They are non-venting.

MVR fuses have integral striker/indicators and have standardized dimensions compatible with today’s 5.5kV motor control gear. They are fully interchangeable with other manufacturers’ fuses of the same type and rating.

They feature a ‘field toughened’ element design which makes them less susceptible to mechanical damage during shipping and instal-lation while also providing superior cycling characteristics.

Features

• Integral indicating pin

• Standard “R” Ratings

• Toughened element design

• Fully plated parts

Options

Standard fuses are clip-in design with 3” diameter barrels (18R - 36R are double barrel designs) and have an integral striker/in-dicator pin. Several options are available to make them compatible with other manufacturers’ specialized designs. Add suffixes to the part number as required. More than one option can be specified.

All options are not available in some voltages.


Medium voltage LED line Indicators

Bolt these line indicators onto any convenient live part and the high brightness LED cluster will flash to indicate pres-ence of voltage. Rated for 2.5kV - 38kV

Epoxy Resin Insulators

We carry a range of epoxy resin insulators from 7.2kV to 38kV. Tapped brass inserts can accomodate a wide range of equipment.

HV Accessories

Medium Voltage Microswitch

Need more than visual indication? Our remote mount mi-croswitch is good for all systems up to 38kV. The insulated Bowden cable is actuated by the fuse striker which then actuates the microswitch at the other end.

Part Number System

MV R 5 / 09R - DI XYS

Installation Notes:

1. When replacing ‘R’ fuses, always replace with the same ‘R’ rating to maintain coordination and motor starting capability.

2. These fuses can replace any manufacturers’ fuse of same ‘R’ rating.

3. Ensure that fuse clips have good tension. (if you can spin the fuse in the clips easily, clips should be replaced.)

4. Clean all contact surfaces before installation.

5. Install with striker pin facing up.

6. Unless the cause of fuse failure is known to have been confined to 1 phase, fuses should be replaced in sets of 3 to ensure ‘As new’ performance.

R Rating Defined

The ‘R’ rating of a fuse is established by dividing the 20-35s melt cur-rent of the fuse by 100.

Fuses of the same ‘R’ rating will have the same time current character-istics and ensure identical motor starting performance and coordination with the overload relays.

Technical data presented.

Amp Rating

Each fuse has both an assigned ‘R’ and amp rating. It is the ‘R’ rating of the fuse that governs the motor starting capability and coordi-nation with the overload relays. To maintain the same capabilities, fuses should be replaced with matching ‘R’ ratings.

On direct across the line starts, the necessity of passing the motor starting current results in a fuse selection with an assigned amp rating well above the nominal motor full load amps.

However, applications using reduced voltage starts, variable frequency drives or other methods to reduce the motor starting current, can result in a fuse rating with an amp rating too close to the motor F.L.A. As a check, the fuse’s assigned full load amp rating should be a minimum of 140% of the nominal full load amps of the motor.

Peak Let-thru Characteristics

Use these characteristics to evaluate busbar bracing requirements and withstand capability of down-the-line components.

Read RMS fault value on lower scale and read up to where it intersects the line for the fuse you are evaluating. From this intersec-tion point, read across to the left hand scale to obtain the peak current let-thru. Note: this value is in peak asymmetrical amperes. To convert to RMS symmetrical, divide by 2.3. Peak let-thru graph is valid for all voltage classes.

Time current Characteristic curves.

Time current curves shown on pages 4-6 are minimum melting curves. For total clearing, please refer to the curves on pages 7-9.

Characteristic curves are generated with the fuse at an ambient temperature of 24-26 C. Ambient temperatures higher than 30 C may require fuse de-rating. Please contact Fusetek in this instance.

Motor Application Tables.

Standard duty is defined as: 2 evenly spaced starts per hour, 25o

C ambient temperature, 10 second run-up time and a starting current of no more than 6X the nominal full load amp of the motor.

If any of these parameters are exceeded - use the heavy duty (HD) column.

• Select the appropriate HP rating in the left column

• Read across to the appropriate voltage and duty column (Std or HD)

• Use the ‘R’ rating of fuse specified

• 5.5kV fuses may be used on 2.3kV control.

The graphic on the right is a screen shot from our free Fusesoft 5.0 fuse selection software and shows the ideal coordination between the fuse, overload relay and motor starting current. The motor starting tables were generated using this software. Fusesoft 5.0 can be downloaded at no charge by visiting www.fusetek.com
