Product Overview
Wishpower HRW5-40.5kV drop-out fuse is designed for 35kV / 40.5kV distribution networks. It provides overcurrent and short-circuit protection for overhead distribution lines and transformers. After fault interruption, the fuse tube drops visibly, helping maintenance teams identify the faulted section and carry out inspection or replacement more efficiently.
Key advantages include:
High-strength insulation support for reliable electrical and mechanical performance.
Suitable for outdoor installation under rain, UV exposure, pollution, and temperature variation.
Clear drop-out indication after fuse operation for easy inspection.
Compact structure and convenient pole-mounted installation.
Available with polymer housing or porcelain housing according to project requirements.
Suitable for transformer protection, line sectional protection, and branch line protection.
Core Features
Reliable High Voltage Protection
The HRW5-40.5kV drop-out fuse is suitable for outdoor high voltage distribution lines and provides fast protection against overload and short-circuit faults.Visible Isolation Point
After operation, the fuse tube drops down and forms a clear visual break, making fault identification and maintenance easier.Excellent Weather Resistance
The product is designed for long-term outdoor service and can withstand heat, cold, humidity, pollution, and UV exposure.Stable Insulation Performance
The insulation body can be made of polymer composite material or porcelain, meeting different project requirements for insulation strength and environmental adaptability.Flexible Installation
It can be used for distribution lines, pole-mounted transformers, substation feeders, branch lines, and outdoor distribution systems.Low Maintenance Cost
The simple structure, replaceable fuse element, and visible operation status help reduce routine maintenance costs.
Product Structure
The HRW5-40.5kV drop-out fuse generally consists of the following components:
Insulation Support: Provides main insulation support, available in polymer or porcelain type.
Upper Contact Assembly: Connects to the line side and ensures stable electrical contact.
Lower Contact Assembly: Supports the fuse tube and maintains current conduction.
Fuse Tube: Contains the fuse link and supports arc extinction during fault interruption.
Fuse Link: Selected according to rated current and protection requirements.
Mounting Bracket: Used for pole-mounted or structure-mounted installation, usually hot-dip galvanized.
Terminal Connectors: Used for connection with conductors, cables, or equipment terminals.
Arc-Extinguishing Structure: Helps elongate and extinguish the arc during fuse operation.
