Special 2500A Fuse for AKRU-50
This fuse provides a melting time-current char­
acteristic that coordinates with 1600A trip devices.
Compared physically with a 2500A NEMA Class L
fuse, the special fuse is more compact (shorter);
its tangs are specially configured and offset to
achieve the required pole -to-pole fuse spacing; a
special primary disconnect assembly mounts directly
on the outboard tang of the fuse. Considering their
unique mounting provisions, when replacing these
fuses the following procedure should be adhered to
(Refer to Fig. 12):
1. Remove the primary disconnect assembly
from the fuse tang, accomplished by first loosening
the two keys (2) via their holding screw and pulling
them upward and out. After the keys are removed,
pull the disconnect assembly off the end of the fuse
tang.
NOTE:
This removal does not disturb the
disconnect's clamping force adjustment.
2. Remove the upper barrier (4) .
-
3. Detach the inboard end of the fuse by remov­
1/2
ing the two inch
socket with a short extension will be required.
