Two types
of Fuse:
Low voltage
Fuse:
Low
voltage fuses can be subdivided into two viz.,
(!) Semi-enclosed rewire able fuse: The use of this type of fuses is limited to
domestic and lighting loads.
(!!) High-rupturing capacity (H.R.C) cartridge fuse: They are extensively used
on low-voltage distribution of system against over-load and short-circuit
conditions.
High
Voltage Fuse: High voltage fuses can be subdivided into three.
(!!) Liquid
type: Used up
to 133KV
(!!!) Metal
clad fuses:
Can be used for very high voltage circuit.
Screws, bolts and springs
Check tightening screws and bolts of each part for loosening. Tighten
them if loose. Check each spring for proper engagement and damage. Correct
problem by repair or replacement.
Dirt and dust
Latching parts should be free of dirt and dust. Wipe them with a clean
cloth
Coil
Measure the coil resistance with an ohmmeter .if it is much lower than
the value 1 or there is no continuity, replace the SHT
Terminal and mounting screws
Check terminals and mounting screws for loosening. Tighten them if
loose.
