Fuse link with striker VVC3 12kV/100A 004230017

Reliable medium voltage protection

VVC3 12kV/100A fuse link is an element designed to protect medium voltage (MV) electrical and power equipment against the effects of short circuits and overloads. It is used to protect cables, transformers, motors, and capacitor banks. Its construction based on proven technology ensures reliable operation in demanding conditions.

Characteristics and application

VV series fuse links, including the VVC3 model, are characterized by a high short-circuit breaking capacity – up to 63 kA. These are key components in power protection systems, ensuring continuity of supply and minimizing the risk of failure. A striker with a force of 50N indicates the operation of the fuse link, which facilitates the location and repair of the damage. Additionally, a cold resistance of 6.7 mΩ and a low power loss (114W) translate into energy efficiency of the system.

Advantages for the installer and user

• High reliability: VV fuse links are subjected to rigorous testing (KEMA Labs reports), which confirms their high quality and safety of use.
• Protection against overloads and short circuits: They provide effective protection of the electrical installation against various types of failures.
• Operation indication: The striker facilitates quick identification of a blown fuse link and location of the problem.
• Durable construction: A high-strength ceramic tube and galvanically protected contacts guarantee a long product life.
• Resistance to environmental conditions: A reliable sealing system protects against moisture, which increases durability in harsh working conditions.
• Adaptation to various applications: Availability of fuse bases with or without an operation indicator (VVP/VVP…BSW) allows for adapting the solution to specific installation needs.
• Optimized parameters: The minimum pre-arcing integral I²t min of 35000 A²s and the maximum breaking integral I²t max of 202000 A²s ensure optimal operating parameters in various short-circuit scenarios.

The rated current is 100 A, and the rated AC voltage is 6/12 kV. The short-circuit breaking capacity reaches 63 kA, and the striker force is 50 N. The cold resistance is 6.7 mΩ.

It is important to remember that choosing the right fuse link is crucial for the proper operation of the protection system. The VVC3 12kV/100A model is a solid solution for a wide range of applications in medium voltage networks.
