  • NH fuses are used in particular in public power grids, for example in transformer stations and main distributions.
  • NH fuses for example in China, are also used outdoors in public power grids. Outdoor use means outside of buildings and results in the fuse being placed directly in the open air and exposed to weather conditions unprotected.
  • Such known outdoor NH fuses consist essentially only of a free one, i. Directly exposed to the environment, fusible link.
  • the fusible conductor of such an outdoor NH fuse is usually made of copper or a zinc alloy. If a predetermined current flows through the fuse or the fusible conductor for a sufficient period of time, the latter melts as a result of the heat development resulting from the current flow and interrupts the circuit, ie the fuse switches.
  • a predetermined current flows through the fuse or the fusible conductor for a sufficient period of time, the latter melts as a result of the heat development resulting from the current flow and interrupts the circuit, ie the fuse switches.
  • the effects of the weather prove to be problematic. For example, corrosion effects on the fusible conductor can occur. However, a stable switching characteristic can not be ensured by such a corroded fusible conductor.
  • such an NH fuse with free fusible conductor on an insufficient current limit can be ensured by such a corroded fusible conductor.
  • a portion of the fusible conductor evaporates depending on the size of the current to be cut off, whereby a plasma is formed, via which a current flow in the form of an arc can take place.
  • a plasma is formed, via which a current flow in the form of an arc can take place.
  • the generation of an arc is additionally influenced by the composition or the state of the medium surrounding the melt conductor.
  • the conductivity of the surrounding air is increased, for example, by high air humidity, thereby promoting the disadvantageous generation of an arc.
  • molten conductor material may drip off the fuse.
  • An NH fuse installed on a pole in public places poses a significant health hazard for people who are close to these facilities.
  • Hermetically sealed in the sense of the present invention means that the switch room is completely sealed at least with respect to ambient humidity. For a fuse for outdoor use, this means that the tightness for temperatures from about -30 ° C to about + 50 ° C, with a relative humidity of about 10% to 100%, a wind pressure of up to 700 Pa and a height of up to 2000 m above sea level. NN is ensured.
  • the embedding of the fusible conductor in quartz sand causes melting of the fusible conductor and the quartz sand begins to melt, whereby energy is dissipated from the fusible conductor.
  • the quartz sand also has an insulating effect.
  • the generation of an arc is avoided and achieved a strong current limit.
  • a plasma formation in the region of the circuit interruption is prevented, as they are approx Melt conductor can occur.
  • the switching characteristic of a fuse is characterized by its pass-through value, ie the value of the integral of the squared current through the fuse over time. When multiplied by the ohmic resistance of the fuse, the I 2 t value describes that energy value which is still permissible without switching the fuse.
  • the heat output ie the current heat at the fusible conductor, depends on the square of the current and leads within a certain time to a certain temperature. If the I 2 t value is exceeded, the current flow leads to a temperature causing the fuse to switch. More specifically, the resulting temperature is so high that melting of the fusible conductor occurs and current flow through the fuse is interrupted.
  • This limit heat output can be precisely adjusted by applying a solder to the fuse element. For example, a copper fusible conductor has a melting temperature of 1083 ° C. By applying a solder, the melting temperature can be lowered to about 170 ° C.
  • the solder In the case of a sufficient heat output, the solder first melts and diffuses into the molten copper conductor, forming a liquid alloy, which leads to an interruption of the fusible conductor by its melting at a temperature below the melting temperature of the pure fusible conductor.
  • An arrangement of the fusible conductor in the quartz sand is advantageously carried out within a hollow body, which limits a switching space and holds therein the sand with the embedded fusible conductor.
  • the hollow space bounding the switching space is expediently an elongated, elongated cuboid having four side surfaces, two longitudinal ends and rounded longitudinal edges.
  • This cuboid is hollow inside and open at the two longitudinal ends. These two openings are each closed by a cover, wherein the cover are held by means of corresponding holding elements, such as screws. It is also conceivable, however, a hollow body with more or less than two openings.
  • a hermetically sealed switch chamber ensures that the pressure development in the hollow body is predictable, since the composition of matter inside the hollow body is constant and remains unaffected by the environment. An increase in pressure, which would entail a risk of explosion, can thus be avoided. In particular, the risk of evaporation of moisture in the hollow body can be dispelled. The exclusion of liquid from the switch room also leads to a more stable switching characteristic of the fuse. Especially in regions with high humidity, the ambient humidity can lead to a changed switching behavior. In particular, there may be less current limitation due to increased conductivity of the wet fuse environment. A hermetic seal can prevent these problems by ensuring a well-defined and constant material composition inside the hollow body.

After melting of the fusible conductor, the current is passed through the serving as a holding wire auxiliary fusible conductor. As a result, the auxiliary fusible conductor of the indicator melts, whereupon the indicator leaps upward or frontally. If the indicator is thus visible, this means that the fuse has switched.
  • a further opening is arranged centrally in a side wall of the hollow body.
  • a colored Kennmelderplättchen is arranged, which is held by a serving as a holding wire auxiliary fusible conductor. If this auxiliary melting conductor melts, the indicator is no longer held and falls out of the opening. Thus, if the indicator is no longer visible, or no longer arranged at its original position in the opening of the hollow body, this means that the fuse has switched.
  • the indicator is elongated stretched and has two ends. A first end is arranged at the top or front side of the fuse and is resiliently biased by an auxiliary fusible conductor in the form of a holding wire.

Thus, if the first end of the indicator is visible at the top or the front, while the second end of the indicator is no longer recognizable by the lateral opening, this means that the fuse has switched.
  • Top and combination detectors have the disadvantage that the auxiliary fusible conductor is guided through an opening out of the control room out to the resiliently biased characteristic element.

Contacting the signaling device via the grip tabs offers the advantage that the signaling device can be kept at a distance from the hollow body by means of the protruding grip tabs. As a result, a disadvantageous influence on the signaling device as a consequence of the heat development of the fuse during switching is avoided. In addition, such a conductive connection takes place between the contact elements and the signaling device via the grip tabs outside the hollow body and thus independently of the sealing of the switching space. Conveniently, the grip tabs are each formed integrally with the associated contact elements and cover elements. On the one hand, this ensures an electrical connection between contact element and gripping tab, on the other hand, thus negative influences on the switching chamber seal, for example in the form of additional screw connections in the cover elements, are avoided.

Of the Contact section has a bore whose inner diameter substantially corresponds to the outer diameter of the head of the fastening screw 15.
  • At least the spacer portion is designed to be resilient so that it presses the contact portion to the outside of the cover.
  • the signaling device can be easily clipped on demand on the NH fuse, where the distance sections are manually bent slightly outwards and then the reporting device is attached to the hollow body, so that the heads of the screws 15 within the holes in the contact section to come to rest.
  • one or more tip-shaped projections can be arranged on the side of the spacer sections facing the cover element, which can punctiformly penetrate a corrosion layer possibly located on the cover element.
