Medium Voltage Fuses
Medium Voltage Fuses
2,400 - 38,000 VAC • Current-Limiting
Current-limiting “E” and “R” rated fuses
are equipped with a mechanical indicator
or striker pin that protrudes through the
fuse cap upon operation of the fuse. This
provides visual identification of a blown
fuse and can be used as a trigger for
external devices.

General Information
The terms “Medium Voltage” and “High Voltage” have been used
interchangeably by many people to describe fuses operating above 600
volts. Technically speaking, “medium voltage” fuses are those intended
for the voltage range from 2,400 to 38,000 VAC. “High voltage” fuses
are for circuits carrying voltages greater than 38,000 VAC.
“E” rated fuses are considered to be general purpose fuses and can be
used to protect against low and high values of fault current. “R” rated
fuses are designed for back-up protection. They must be used in series
with other devices such as motor overload relays in order to achieve
both overload and short-circuit protection.
Medium voltage fuses are not intended to provide overload protection in
the same sense as fuses rated 600 volts or less. Medium voltage fuse
current ratings do not have the same meanings as the ampere ratings of
low voltage fuses.
Littelfuse now offers a complete selection of “E” and “R” rated
medium voltage fuses for the protection of transformers, potential
transformers, feeders, and motor circuits. Single, double, and triple
barrel designs are available to cover a wide range of current, voltage,
and interrupting ratings. Conventional ferrule type, clip lock, and bolt-in
mounting configurations are now available for virtually any application.
Hermetically sealed fuses for use in hazardous environments are also
offered.
Contact the factory or your local Littelfuse representative for additional
fuse ratings or custom mounting configurations.
24 Hour Emergency Service is available. Call 847 824 1188.
All medium voltage fuses are limited in their ability to interrupt low value
overcurrents, especially those between 100% and 200% of the fuse’s
continuous current rating. They are designed to carry their rated current
without exceeding the temperature rise permitted by NEMA and ANSI
standards.
Additional application data can be found in the Fuse Application section
of this catalog.

Medium Voltage Fuses
E Rated Medium Voltage Fuses
Current-Limiting
“E” Rated fuses have time current characteristics designed to
provide current-limiting protection for power transformers, potential
transformers, power centers, feeder centers, and unit sub stations.
When properly applied, they can protect against high and low fault
currents.
NEMA Standards for “E” rated medium voltage fuses require that
fuses rated 100E or less open within 300 seconds (5 minutes) when
subjected to an RMS value of 200-240% of the fuse continuous current
rating; and fuses with an “E” rating larger than 100E must open within
600 seconds (10 minutes) when subjected to an RMS current of 220-
240% of the fuse’s continuous current rating. These values establish
one point on the time-current curve.
Characteristics
Voltage Rating: 2,400 volts – 38,000 volts
Current Range: 10E – 600E
Options
• Hermetically sealed for use in hazardous locations
(add “S” suffix to part number)
• Clip-lock (CL) and bolt-in styles available.
Application Note:
Since these fuses are used for the protection of general purpose
circuits which may contain transformers, motors, and other equipment
producing in-rush and/or overload currents, fuses should generally be
rated at 140% of the normal full load current, and circuits should be
analyzed to ensure that system load currents will not exceed the current
rating of the fuse.
