Chance Type K and Type T fuse links are made in complete accordance with ANSI/NEMA standards. Chance fuse links assure system protection because they are precision manufactured. The fusible materials used in Chance Fuse Links are under continual control during manufacture. Pre-tested to guarantee their electrical values, these materials are held to precise tolerances. At critical points during the manufacturing process, rigid inspections are made.
Chance Type K and Type T fuse links are designed to carry 150% of their rated current without damage to the fuse link itself or the cutout in which it is installed. This capacity is for special loading situations, such as short-time overloads and cold load pick-up.
Type T Fuse Links
Chance Type T fuse links provide slower time current characteristics than the Type K links. Type T links coordinate particularly well with automatic oil-circuit reclosers.
Type K Fuse Links
The fast characteristics of Type K fuse links were established by ANSI/NEMA to provide fuse links that would meet existing coordination schemes.
