Figure 8. Fuse assembly consists of handle assembly
plus ELSG fuse. (Plus guides, where applicable.)
* 15.5 kV and 23 kV rated fuses use guide bracket (catalog no.
3439216B02).
ote:N Wetwell holder of fuse being replaced is
deenergized. Other holders and, thus leads within
the switchgear, may be energized.
The guide(s) is to be installed on the fiberglass rod of the
handle assembly as shown in Figure 8 to guide the fuse
straight into the wetwell holder.
One guide is included for the 15.5 kV and 23 kV
2-inch
diameter double barrel fuse.
Two guides are included for the 15.5 kV and 23 kV
2-inch diameter single barrel fuse.
The spacing of the guides as shown in Figure 8 are critical
to within ± 1/2 inch.
CAUTION
Failure to use the guide(s) on the handle assembly as
shown may allow the fuse to contact an energized lead
and operate during installation or removal.
Position and securely tighten the guide(s) to the
fiberglass rod of the handle assembly, as illustrated for
the appropriately rated fuse. When two guides are used
for the single barrel fuse, rotate the upper guide 60°
out from the position of the lower guide as shown in
Figure 9.
