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
