S&C FAULT TAMER FUSELINKS
Description
S&C Fault Tamer combines the functionality of a conventional fuse cutout and a backup current-limiting fuse in one powerful, easy-to-install package for the protection of new or existing overhead pole-top transformers through 25 kV. Fault Tamer addresses the critical issues facing protection engineers today.
Fault Tamer is manufactured in accordance with a quality system certified to ISO9001:2000.
Improved Transformer Protection

- 100 kVA single-phase at 15 kV
- 167 kVA single-phase at 25 kV
Excellent continuous, hot-load pickup, and cold-load pickup capabilities.
High surge withstand capability. Allows arrester to be mounted on transformer tank without increasing the chance of nuisance operations due to lightning.
Minimizes equipment damage
Reduces chances of catastrophic transformer failure from internal high-current faults.
Minimizes bushing and tank damage due to external primary faults.
Improves service continuity
Provides complete coordination with upstream lateral fuses.
Provides complete coordination with substation instantaneous relay settings.
Enhances power quality
Minimizes voltage dips that can cause sensitive electronic equipment to shut down.
Operational Characteristics
Dropout action.
