Introduction to medium voltage fuse link technology
Offering unparalleled short-circuit interruption capabilities,
Medium Voltage (MV) current-limiting fuse links are the
principle protection device used by electrical utilities and
switchgear manufacturers throughout the world.
Safe, reliable, environmentally friendly and cost effective, MV
Fuse links are the protection device of choice for distribution
circuits due to their speed of operation and current limiting
ability in the event of a short-circuit fault.
The diagram below shows the operation of a fuse link
interrupting a short-circuit fault, achieving a current zero well
within the first half-cycle of a fault. Energy let-through into the
site of a fault maybe typically only 1/500th of that of any other
type of switching device.

The speed of operation reduces the effect of short-circuit
currents, dramatically limiting the energy delivered to the
faulted circuit, preventing the catastrophic results of high faults
and disturbing voltage arcs. The fuse link operation significantly
limits the arc-flash hazard at the fault location. Improved
power supply quality also results from the use of fuse links.
High fault currents are interrupted in a few milliseconds,
minimising voltage dips in system supply voltage.
The main standard covering Medium voltage (MV) fuse links is
IEC 60282-1, 2009. IEC defines MV as from 1 kV to 72.5 kV.
Current-limiting MV Fuse links, split into three internationally
recognised types: back-up (or sometimes called partial range),
fuse links, which will interrupt any current from their rated
Breaking capacity down to a Minimum breaking current,
specified by the manufacturer. General purpose MV Fuse links
will interrupt all currents that will melt the elements within
one hour. Full range MV Fuse links can interrupt any current
below the rated Breaking capacity that melts the fuse elements
satisfactorily.
The diagram below illustrates the three performance criteria in
terms of their Minimum breaking current I3.

Current-limiting MV Fuse links are similar in construction to
Low voltage (LV) cartridge types. Fuse elements do need to
be much longer however to safely interrupt a medium voltage
short-circuit. This is achieved by winding the elements round
an internal core or holder, often called a star-core or spider;
using this technique a one metre length element can be
accommodated in a 250 mm length body. The elements are
surrounded by a pure, highly compacted granular quartz filler.
Like a LV fuse link, a MV Fuse link has a ceramic body. Most
current-limiting MV Fuse links are also fitted with a striker
mechanism. This is used to operate the trip bar or mechanism
in a fuse-switch combination, fuse-switch or ring main unit
(RMU) to achieve low overload fault interruption and threephase disconnection.
Typically striker mechanisms are driven by a spring mechanism,
triggered by a thin striker wire or striker coil running the length
of the fuse link, connected in parallel to the fuse link elements.
The striker coil is of much higher resistance than the fuse
link elements, so a current only flows through the striker coil
when the fuse link elements melt. The current heats up the
striker coil and this in turn melts the wire retaining the spring,
releasing it and pushing out the striker.

Non-current limiting
Essentially, non-current limiting fuse links have short elements
and incorporate some means of lengthening the arc after the
element melts, extinguishing the arc and preventing re-ignition.
These are known as expulsion fuse links.
Expulsion fuse links are an effective way of protecting overhead
distribution lines and transformers. They are designed for
outdoor use only and comprise a tin or copper fuse element in
series with a flexible braid in a tube. The tube forms one side
of a triangle, with a latched connection at the top and a hinge
at the bottom. The braid emerges from one end of the fuse link
and is held in tension by a spring downwards under gravity.
Under fault conditions, the fuse link swings downwards, the arc
is lengthened, extinguished and prevented from restriking.
Thermal effects of low overload faults
During overload faults lasting a long time, it is possible for
medium voltage (MV) elements to get very hot prior to actually
melting. Given that silver has a melting temperature of 960oC,
for fuse links with no temperature limitation, this can result
in a fuse barrel temperature of over 400oC and 180oC at
the insulating surface surrounding the fuse. To prevent
deterioration of the insulation and to the fuse link itself, all MV
Fuse links should incorporate some form of technology to limit
the thermal stress- heating, that is possible under prolonged
low overload faults, often referred to as temperature limiting
technology.
Since the launch of its first MV Fuse links almost half a century
ago, Eaton has employed M-effect technology to achieve
temperature limitation throughout its MV Fuse link range. A
small mass of special low melting point alloy is added to each
fuse element, this has the effect of drastically reducing the
temperature of the MV Fuse link during operation. The larger
cross section of the fuse link elements, made possible by
use of this feature, ensures cooler running and lower power
dissipation under normal service conditions than comparable
temperature limitation technology.
Other manufacturers employ a temperature-limiting (or
thermal) striker to overcome their overheating problems.
In general with this approach the maximum temperatures
reached by the fuse link and its surrounding insulation are
not as low as with the use of M-effect. Such a solution is no
more effective than use of M-effect on the fuse link elements
and moreover does not bring the additional advantages of
lower watts loss, cooler running and greater withstand against
transient surge currents.
When an Eaton’s Bussmann series fuse link operates under
low overload fault conditions the maximum temperature rise
of the fuse link is such that the temperature of the surrounding
synthetic insulation remains below the temperature limits for
all insulated fuse switchgear. The fuse barrel therefore remains
intact and the fuse carrier and its contacts remain unimpaired.
Typically an Eaton’s Bussmann series MV Fuse link of a given
rating may run 10-30oC cooler than comparable fuse links
which do not employ M-effect. This advantage is particularly
useful when the MV Fuse link is used in totally enclosed all
insulated switchgear, such as cast resin fuse-switches or
compact SF6 insulated Ring Main Units (RMUs), or GIS HV
switchgear, since less derating is required and hence a smaller
rating of MV Fuse link will do the same job as a higher rated MV
Fuse link from another manufacturer.
In short M-effect fuse links are generally safer, give better
protection and are longer lasting than alternative designs,
which do not employ these valuable features.
GLOSSARY FOR MEDIUM VOLTAGE FUSE LINKS
The following is a brief introduction to medium voltage
fuse link technology. Some of the terms are also used in
other areas of fuse technology.
Current rating/Current, In - The current of the fuse link,
given in amps.
• Derating - A reference to the fact that all MV Fuse links
must be derated once they are placed in a confined
space, for example when mounted in switchgear. The
fuse link must be derated to take into account the effect
of heating on element resistance. Typically a fuse link is
derated by between 5-20% depending on application.
• Test Duty, TD - A term used to refer to a specific type
test within the IEC standard. Test Duty one (TD1), shortcircuit test, Test Duty two (TD2), maximum arc energy
test and Test Duty three (TD3), low overcurrent test.
• Minimum Breaking capacity Current, MBC, I3 - The
minimum current the fuse link can interrupt safely,
without assistance from switchgear with instantaneous
striker tripping.
• Minimum Fusing Current (MFC) - The minimum current
which will cause the fuse link elements to start to melt.
• I
2
T - The minimum value of pre-arcing and maximum
value of total clearing energy a fuse link will allow
to pass through it during short circuit operation,
expressed as an amount of current (I2), multiplied by
time in seconds.
• Watts loss - The power dissipation of the fuse link at a
stated value of load current.
• Breaking capacity, I1 - The maximum short circuit
current the fuse link has been tested to in accordance
with test Duty one (TD1), expressed in kA.
• Resistance - The resistance of the fuse link in free air at
(20oC), measured in mΩ.

Eaton’s Bussmann series ‘T’ Range
Eaton’s Bussmann series ‘T’ range medium voltage
currentlimiting fuse links, to dimensional standard DIN 43625,
are one of the most advanced design of medium voltage fuse
links available anywhere in the world today. Developed by
Eaton, they comply with the very latest requirements of IEC
60282-1, are lead and cadmium free (meeting the RoHS and
WEE directives) and have been designed to meet current and
future global electrical utility specifications.
The ‘T’ range offers time-current characteristics that are
optimised to improve discrimation with upstream devices,
giving fast clearance of earth faults in secondary terminal
zones. The fuse links utilise Eaton’s M-effect technology,
ensuring low power consumption during operation, while at
the same time providing temperature limitation in the event of
an overload fault.
The fuse links are suitable for both indoor and outdoor
applications and are fitted with a spring striker. This gives
either an output force of 80N with a travel of 30 mm in the
case of fuse links with part numbers sequence ‘E’, or in the
case of part numbers referring to ‘S’, a spring striker with an
output force of 50 N and a maximum travel of 26 mm.
Eaton’s Bussmann series ‘F’ Range
Eaton’s Bussmann series ‘F’ range fuse links have ‘full range’
clearing capability. They are designed to clear low overloads
right down to the fuse links’ Current in accordance with the
latest IEC 60282-1 requirements. They are thus suitable
for use as a sole form of protection. ‘F’ range time-current
characteristics are especially advantageous for transformer
protection applications.
Eaton’s Bussmann series ‘A’ Range
This earlier, well proven, design has values of minimum
breaking current between the ‘T’ and ‘F’ range including higher
current ratings.
Applications
MV DIN Fuse links are suitable for primary side transformer
protection, fuse switch combination unit, fuse bases and
fuse switches.
Introduction to DIN Medium voltage fuse links
Introduction
EATON’S BUSSMANN SERIES MEDIUM VOLTAGE FUSE LINKS CA132062EN—June 2025 www.eaton.com 11
Certification. Eaton’s Bussmann series Medium Voltage (MV)
DIN range of fuse links has been fully tested and certified.
Interrupting performance has been certified at the world class
independent test laboratories of KEMA. All other performance
requirements such as temperature-rise, time-current
characteristics, weather sealing etc. have been thoroughly
tested to ASTA approval procedures.
All Eaton’s Bussmann series medium voltage DIN Fuse links
exhibit cool running and low power dissipation during normal
operation in service. The use of M-effect, drastically reduces
the temperature of the fuse link during operation. The larger
cross section of the fuse link elements made possible by using
M-effect ensures cooler running and low power dissipation
under normal service conditions. This ensures maximum levels
of network efficiency by reducing unnecessary power loss and
minimizing switchgear wear and tear due to the fact the fuse
link is running much cooler during its service life.
Cool operation. When Eaton’s Bussmann series MV Fuse links
operate under low fault conditions, the maximum temperature
rise of the fuse link is well within the temperature limits for all
switchgear due to the use of M-effect, ensuring fuse carrier
contacts remain unimpaired, thereby increasing the life cycle of
the substation and so reducing capital and maintenance costs.
Silver elements. All Eaton’s Bussmann series back-up MV
Fuse links use 99.8% pure silver in their elements, ensuring
high conductivity and low power (revenue) loss, maximising
network efficiency.
Reduced nuisance operation due to surge currents. The
use of M-effect allows a larger element cross section for a
given current rating, improving withstand capability against
transient overcurrents due to transformer magnetizing
inrush current, reducing mal operation. This improves system
reliability reducing maintenance costs.
Low arc voltages during short-circuit operation. Eaton’s
Bussmann series MV Fuse links are designed to produce low
levels of arc voltage, allowing fuse link to be used down to half
their Voltage, so during short-circuit operation, the switchgear
and cables are not unduly stressed by being exposed to high
arc voltages, thereby prolonging the life of the switchgear and
improving asset utilisation.
Additionally, stock holdings and part numbers can be reduced,
as a 24 kV Eaton’s Bussmann series MV DIN fuse link can be
used on a 12 kV system. Utilities that run a mixed voltage
network (say 24, 15.5, 13.8 12 and 10 kV) can standardise on
one type of switchgear with one type of fuse link, reducing
costs and removing the need for an additional fuse extension
and inventory.
Construction. All electrical connections within the Eaton’s
Bussmann series MV Fuse link are made by welded or brazed
joints. This firstly ensures a very mechanically robust fuse link
and secondly, greatly reduces the risk of poor intermittent
internal contacts, improving substation reliability.
X-Ray. All Eaton’s Bussmann series MV Fuse links are X-rayed
during production. Element alignment, M-effect position, etc
are all checked by trained operators. This process ensures
defects that would not normally be detected by purely visual
or electrical based quality systems, to be captured during
production.
Element design. Unlike many other medium voltage fuse
link manufacturers, Eaton’s Bussmann series medium voltage
fuse elements employ a “neck” or ‘notch’ design principle
as opposed to a perforated element design principle,
see diagram below.
Eaton - Neck or notch design
Other Medium voltage fuse links with perforated designs
This element design insures that even the smallest degree of
accidental element damage is easily detected during testing, as
part of the manufacturing process thus avoids the possibility
of such imperfect fuses being put into service. This is far more
difficult to achieve with perforated element designs.
Lead and cadmium Free. All Eaton’s Bussmann series ‘T’
Ranges fuse links are lead and cadmium free and meet with the
latest WEEE and RoHS directives. RoHS is less than 1000 VAC.
Recycling scheme. Eatons operates a recycling scheme for
all medium voltage fuse links, please contact buletechnical@
eaton.com for further information.

Full range fuse links
Selection guide using low
voltage fuse links operating
class gG/gL on low voltage
side for individual cable
exit protection, see figure 1
opposite page.
General guide to the selection of DIN Full range fuse links
Selection of these MV Fuse links has been based
on the followings:
1. The fuse link should withstand transformer
magnetising inrush currents, taken as 12 times full
load current for 0.1 seconds.
2. The primary MV Fuse link should discrimate with the
secondary LV Fuse in all cases as shown in figure 2.
Where individual cable exit is used and no secondary
LV Fuse is fitted, the MV Fuse should discriminate with
the largest fuse fitted downstream to the secondary
side of the transformer at the distribution panel.
3. The fuse link should operate within two seconds
for transformers complying with IEC 60076-5 in
respect of impedance, voltage and short-circuit
withstand current.
4. The fuse link should operate reasonably quickly
in the event of a transformer internal fault or an
earth fault in the secondary terminal zone of the
transformer.
5. In the case where there is no secondary fuse link for
overload protection, the minimum recommended
MV Fuse link rating applies to the use of fuse links
in encapsulated enclosures where permissible
continuous overload is generally limited to 120% of
transformer full load current. However, if greater
overload currents are permissible, a higher rating of
fuse link may be required. Where the fuse link is used
in open air or conditions of unrestricted ventilation a
higher permissible overload may be possible.
6. In most cases more than one rating of MV Fuse link
is recommended for a particular transformer size.
Choice of fuse link will then depend on which fuse link
offers the best protection; e.g., having one fuse link for
several transformer sizes.
Recommendations for other voltage are available on request,
please email buletechnical@eaton.com.

Introduction to medium voltage motor fuse links
• Motor fuse Links comply with IEC 60282-1, IEC 644 and
BS 5907.
• Available in DIN 43625 and BS 2692 dimensions.
• Sold in a wide range of ratings from:
• 3.6 kV - 5 to 450 A
• 7.2 kV - 5 to 355 A
• North American dimensioned products also available, 2R to
24R ratings.
Eaton’s Bussmann series motor fuse links
Eaton’s Bussmann series motor fuse links are designed
to meet the specific requirements necessary for motor
protection. During the starting cycle of direct on-line motors,
the fuse elements will reach a considerably higher temperature
than during normal operation; this is due to the high amount
of current the motor will draw as it starts, typically, 6 times
its normal load current value. This results in expansion and
contraction of the fuse elements and could cause premature
operation of the fuse link. Eaton’s Bussmann series motor fuse
links encompass an advanced design to minimise this effect.
This therefore, negates the need to over specify the fuse rating
due to high values of motor starting current.
Eaton’s Bussmann series fuse links operate extremely quickly
under heavy fault currents, resulting from the time-current
characteristic. Low power dissipation ensures low temperature
rise, important in multi-tier starters for example. Switching (Arc)
voltages are lower than permitted values, therefore, 5.5 kV fuse
links are also suitable for 4.8 kV and 2.4 kV circuits.
Application
Fuse links provide short-circuit protection in motor circuits
to both the motor starter and cables from the starter to the
motor. Overload protection is provided by the motor starter,
generally by an overload relay and contactor. Combination
striker tripping may also form part of the associated
equipment which houses the fuse links and motor starters.
Application procedure
For any motor the fuse current rating is determined by
magnitude and duration of starting current, except in a few
situations where the starting currents are very light.
Direct-on-line starting
In the absence of specific information, the starting current can
usually be taken to be six times the motor’s full load current.
The starting time will depend on the type of the drive but will
be approximately as follows:
• Pump motors - 6 seconds
• Mill motors - 10 to 15 seconds
• Fan motors - 60 seconds
These are average values and the appropriate figures for
starting current and starting time for actual installation should
be obtained wherever possible.
Multiply the starting current by 1.7 and using this value of
current and the starting time, (it is recommended that a
minimum time of five seconds be adopted), plot this point on
the time-current characteristics of the fuse link. The correct
current rating of the fuse link is then chosen as being the one
immediately to the right of the point plotted. The chosen fuse
link must also have a current rating of at least 1.3 times the full
load current of the associated motor.
The rating chosen will be adequate for normal applications
where the associated motor is not started more than twice in a
given period of one hour.
For applications using more frequent starting duties, a greater
derating factor must be applied as shown below:
• Maximum 2 starts per hour - Derating factor 1.7
• Maximum 4 starts per hour - Derating factor 1.9
• Maximum 8 starts per hour - Derating factor 2.1
• Maximum 16 starts per hour - Derating factor 2.4
Assisted starting
A similar method of fuse selection may be used as for
direct-online starting (see above), but it must be noted that
the normal running current of the motor is likely to be closer
in value to the nominal current rating of the fuse link than for
direct-on-line applications.
The rating of fuse link chosen will need to be appreciably
greater than the motor running current to allow for restricted
cooling inside control gear cubicles, particularly where multitier starters are involved. For further guidance please contact
Eaton’s application engineers: buletechnical@eaton.com.
Notes
For applications involving more frequent starting duties than
16 times per hour or where unusual duty cycles are involved,
consult Eaton’s application engineers for advice:

Introduction to medium voltage and auxiliary transformer fuse links
• British standard voltage and auxiliary transformer (VT)
fuse links.
• A range of voltage transformer primary fuse links to BS
2692-1 and IEC 60282-1.
• Wide range of ratings from 1 kV to 36 kV.
• 3.15 Amp industry standard current ratings.
• CAV range with ratings from 3.6 kV to 38 kV.
Eaton’s Bussmann series voltage and auxiliary
transformer fuse links
Eaton manufactures a wide range of voltage transformer (VT)
fuse links. In North America they are referred to as ‘potential
transformer fuse links’. These fuse links are designed for
use in the primary side of voltage transformers to provide
system isolation in the event of faults occuring in the
transformer circuit.
Voltage transformer fuse links have a preferred current rating
of 3.15A. Experience has shown that there is a risk of spurious
operation by transient overcurrents where lower current
ratings are used. In addition, in order to minimise the risk of
deterioration of the fine fuse elements caused by corona, it is
desirable to mount the fuse links so that the earthed metal is
not in the immediate vicinity of the part of the barrel between
the ferrules.
Higher current and ‘E’ ratings are available for special
applications, including auxiliary transformers.
A range of VT fuse links with a breaking capacity of 200 kA for
use at the output terminals of large turbo alternators can also
be ordered. For further information, please contact Eaton’s
application engineers: buletechnical@eaton.com.
Types prefixed ‘A’ or ‘N’ are suitable for use indoors in air only.
Types prefixed ‘O’ may be used under oil.
Application
Small rated fuse links for protection of voltage and auxiliary
transformers. Back-up protection up to 3.15 A and voltages
from 1.1 kV to 36 kV.
