Guidelines

To ensure satisfactory operation of these fuse holders throughout their service life, it is recommended that the following procedure be carried out at regular intervals (at least once a year) as part of a planned maintenance schedule. Where the environment or service duty is severe there may be a need for inspection at shorter intervals.

Procedure

• Isolate the supply.
• Withdraw the fuse carriers and inspect fuse tags and carrier contacts (SC100) for any signs of damage.
• Check all cable terminal screws and fuse link fixing screws (SC100) to ensure that the correct torque has been applied.
• Wipe clean and remove any oxidation from the fuse link blades or carrier contacts (SC100).
• Apply a small amount of a proprietary electrical contact lubricating grease after ensuring that all contact areas are clean.
• Re-fit the fuse carriers and re-connect the supply.
