RW12-35
RW12-35 drop-out fuse cutout
Outdoor RW12-35 drop-out fuse cutout protecting distribution transformers and overhead line tee-offs at 35 kV against short circuits and overloads.
Key parameters
- Rated voltage
- 35 kV
- Rated current
- 100 / 200 A
- Rated short-circuit breaking current
- 12.5; 16 kA
- Rated lightning impulse withstand voltage
- 170 kV
- Creepage distance
- 875 mm


Design
- Upper terminal clamp (tinned copper casting and tinned stamping).
- Upper cover (hot-dip tinning 80 µm, thickness 3 mm).
- Upper contact plate (silver plating 3 µm, thickness 2.5 mm).
- Upper moving contact (silver plating 3 µm; 304 stainless steel spring withstands high pressure).
- Operating hook (the fork-shaped hook reliably guides the fuse carrier into the "closed" position).
- Fuse carrier (UV-resistant, non-hygroscopic, durable).
- Trunnion (silver plating 3 µm) — the fuse carrier does not wobble sideways on closing, high precision.
- Lower fixed contact (not visible in the photo): the current path runs through a silver-plated shunt plate and does not pass through the hinge pin.
- Drop-out mechanism (ensures quick release of the fuse carrier end; the flexible conductor drops out quickly).
- High-strength insulator (creepage distance 875 mm; self-cleaning surface, high strength, excellent workmanship).
Note: all iron parts are hot-dip galvanised (coating thickness over 80 µm), stainless steel is high-quality grade 304; cast parts are optional: precision brass casting or aluminium bronze casting.
