Fuse link with striker VVC3 7.2kV/100A 004220017

Reliable medium voltage protection

The VVC3 7.2kV/100A fuse link is an element designed to protect medium voltage (MV) electrical and power equipment against the effects of overloads and short circuits. It is used to protect cables, transformers, motors and capacitor banks. Its construction based on proven technology ensures reliable operation and a quick response in emergency situations.

Characteristics and application

Fuse links of the VV series, including the VVC3 model, are characterized by a high short-circuit breaking capacity – up to 63 kA. This is a key parameter for ensuring the safety of the installation in the event of serious disturbances. The design with a striker with a force of 50N indicates the operation of the fuse link, which facilitates the location and repair of the damage. The rated current value of 100A makes it a suitable solution for various industrial and energy applications. Additionally, the cold resistance of 4.8 mΩ minimizes power losses during normal operation.

Advantages for the installer and user

• High reliability: Confirmed by technical reports from tests conducted by KEMA Labs.
• Fast signaling: The striker indicates the operation of the fuse link, making it easier to identify the problem.
• Protection against moisture: A reliable sealing system ensures long-term operation even in difficult environmental conditions.
• Durable construction: A high-strength ceramic tube guarantees resistance to mechanical and thermal damage.
• Galvanically protected contacts: Ensure a stable connection and minimize the risk of corrosion.
• Easy replacement: The improved contact cap facilitates and speeds up the replacement process of the fuse link.
• Silver fuse element: Guarantees precise operation and high selectivity of protection.
• Wide range of applications: Can be used with fuse bases with or without an operation indicator (VVP/VVP…BSW).

It is important to select the appropriate fuse link for a specific application, taking into account the installation parameters and the characteristics of the load. Tools such as the ETIsON Curves program are available to help analyze protection selectivity and optimally select the parameters of VV fuse links.
