3-7 Fuse Rollout Elements

When the system available short-circuit current exceeds the

unfused breaker ratings, current-limiting fuses can be used

in series with EGF-20, EGF-32, EGF-40, and EGF-50

breakers to increase the short-circuit rating of the

combination to 200,000 amps. When used, such fuses are

housed in a separate drawout compartment located adjacent

to the breaker compartment; they are mounted on a drawout

carriage similar to a breaker frame and referred to as a fuse

rollout element (FRE).



EGF-32 Rollout Carriage

• 3200-ampere rating

• 200,000-ampere interrupting rating

• Accepts 2000- through 4000-ampere fusing

• Also used for EGF-20 breaker

EGF-40 Rollout Carriage

• 4000-ampere frame size

• 200,000-ampere interrupting rating

• Accepts 2000- through 5000-ampere fusing

EGF-50 Rollout Carriage

• 5000-ampere frame size

• 200,000-ampere interrupting rating

• Accepts 2000- through 5000-ampere fusing
