22、S2782, Methods of testing plastics. This BritishStandard has been prepared to meet the need for a standard for fuses for a.c. circuits above1000volts, which is the upper limit of voltage for fuses covered by BS88. It is expected that additions to the standard will become necessary as knowledge incre
23、ases and, in particular, it is hoped to standardize dimensions to some extent when adequate experience has been gained with fuses in accordance with this standard. Some time must necessarily elapse before every such fuse can be supplied and certified to comply with the standard in all respects; in t
24、he meantime therefore its application should be subject to agreement between the contracting parties. A British Standard does not purport to include all the necessary provisions of a contract. Users of British Standards are responsible for their correct application. Compliance with a British Standar
25、d does not of itself confer immunity from legal obligations.

General 1 Scope This BritishStandard relates to fuses for use indoors or outdoors on alternating current systems having line-to-line voltages above1000volts at a frequency of50cycles
27、per second, and with breaking-capacities corresponding to three-phase values from25MVA to750MVA for power fuses and from50MVA to2500MVA for voltage-transformer fuses (or equivalent values for other systems). In general, these fuses are suitable for short-circuit protection only, leaving other device
28、s for protection against over-currents. The requirements of this standard apply to fuses for use in air and to fuses for use immersed in oil. This standard relates only to expulsion fuses. Where fuses depend for their correct operation as fuses on the movement of some component to provide an insulat
29、ing gap, this feature is considered as part of the fuse operation and comes within the scope of this standard. On the other hand, there are fuse-links that contain tripping devices for initiating the opening of a switch. These fuse-links are required to comply with this standard, but the satisfactor
30、y operation of the equipment operated by the tripping devices is outside the scope of the standard. The range of breaking-capacity ratings of25MVA to750MVA covers the usual applications of high-voltage fuses for power-system and voltage-transformer protection. It is recognized, however, that voltage
31、-transformer fuses may also be required for use on systems having short-circuit capacities in excess of750MVA. Where such fuses are designed to operate in series with current-limiting impedances, the values of which are more than100times the impedance of the system, their performance is practically
32、unaffected by the short-circuit current of the system, hence they may be safely used, with the appropriate impedance, on circuits having greater short-circuit capacities than750MVA. Voltage-transformer fuses without current-limiting impedances for use on systems with short-circuit currents greater t
33、han those corresponding to750MVA may be deemed to comply with this standard provided that all the requirements other than the tests set out in Clauses27 and28 are met; in such cases tests for breaking-capacity should be the subject of agreement between purchaser and manufacturer. 2 Basis of specific
34、ation a) General. This standard is based on single-phase and polyphase service conditions. Fuses complying with it are suitable for operating under a variety of conditions where the recovery-voltage across any fuse may be any voltage not exceeding its voltage-rating. Conditionsi) andii) below are ex
35、amples in which a three-phase group of fuses can break two phases of the circuit and leave the third intact, and so may impose a recovery-voltage equal to the voltage-rating of the fuse across each of the two fuses that have operated. i) The operation of fuses on a three-phase fault where the neutra
36、l of the source of supply is not connected to the fault. ii) The operation of fuses on a single-phase line-to-line fault on a three-phase system, if the load is not connected to the supply neutral, since under these conditions the fuse in the healthy line is connected to the fault via the load. In v
37、iew of the above conditions, breaking-capacity tests made on a three-phase basis should have a recovery-voltage across each phase not less than the line-to-line voltage see Sub-clause27 l) and Figure 1(a). The use of a three-phase3-wire test circuit with one fuse of a three-phase group of fuses repl
38、aced by a link of negligible impedance enables this condition to be achieved. The same circuit may be used to test fuses intended for single-phase duty, two at a time. The test circuit severity on one of the fuses shall comply with the circuit conditions prescribed in Sub-clause27 g) and for current
39、-limiting fuses also with Figure 2. Single-phase tests of one fuse of a three-phase group of fuses, or of fuses for single-phase systems shall also comply with the requirements of Sub-clause27 g). Fuses complying with this standard are suitable for service on single-phase or two-phase systems where
40、the line-to-line voltage is the same as that of a three-phase system for which they have been tested (see Clause10).BS2692-2:1956 2 BSI 02-2000 b) Breaking-capacity rating. For the purpose of this standard the breaking-capacity rating of a fuse is expressed as a prospective current at its voltage-ra
41、ting. When recording the results obtained during breaking-capacity type-tests the prospective current and the recovery-voltage shall be stated. When a fuse exhibits current-limiting characteristics the current broken will be less than the peak current associated with the prospective current. In this
42、 case, when assessing the performance of the fuse, it will be deemed to have broken the prospective current. c) MVA rating. For the practical convenience of specifying MVA breaking-capacity ratings for fuses and for comparing a given rating with the MVA value for a short-circuit at a given point in
43、a supply network, the breaking-capacity rating in kilo-amperes assigned to a fuse is converted into an MVA rating by multiplying the former by its voltage-rating in kilovolts and by the phase-factor. Thus the value of single-phase MVA is the product of single-phase r.m.s. kilo-amperes and the voltag
44、e-rating in kilovolts, and the value of three-phase MVA is obtained by multiplying the single-phase r.m.s. kilo-amperes by the voltage-rating in kilovolts and by(not by3). d) Severity of duty. The specification standardizes criteria of severity of duty under which type-tests are made and ratings are
45、 assigned. It is recognized that the severity of duty imposed on a fuse may also depend on the form of restriking-voltage, but, since present knowledge is insufficient to enable restriking-voltage characteristics to be standardized, only those factors which control the amplitude of the restriking-vo
46、ltage have been included. It is generally agreed that the restriking-voltage characteristics obtainable in testing stations are more onerous than those obtained under normal service conditions. The permissible peak value of the transient voltage which may be produced by the fuse is specified see Sub
47、-clause28 a)ix). 3 Definitions For the purposes of this BritishStandard the following definitions shall apply: 3.1 fuse a device for protecting a circuit against damage from an excessive current flowing in it, by opening the circuit on the melting of a fuse-element by such excessive current. The fus
48、e consists of all the parts that form the complete device, including any current-limiting impedance association therewith 3.2 fuse-element the part of a fuse which is designed to melt and thus open a circuit in some designs the fuse-element includes other attachments which are renewed when the fuse
49、is re-wired 3.3 cartridge a “totally-enclosing” fuse-element container, consisting of insulating material; generally tubular, with its ends enclosed by caps of metal or other material. The term “totally-enclosing” is deemed not to exclude the use of devices in connection with indicating or pressure-release 3.4 cartridge-fuse a fuse in which the fuse-element is enclosed in a cartridge 3.5 oil-tight cartridge-fuse a cartridge-fuse which excludes oil from the interior of the cartridge when totally immersed in oil, and in
