RW33-15
RW33-15 drop-out fuse cutout
Outdoor RW33-15 drop-out fuse cutout protecting distribution transformers and overhead line tee-offs at 12(15) kV against short circuits and overloads. Fitted with a pressure-relief cap for increased breaking capacity.
Key parameters
- Rated voltage
- 12(15) kV
- Rated current
- 100 / 200 A
- Rated short-circuit breaking current
- 12.5; 16 kA
- Rated lightning impulse withstand voltage
- 125 kV
- Creepage distance
- 330 mm


Design
- Upper terminal clamp (3 µm tin plating; double-groove design, integral with the upper contact plate — improved conductivity).
- Pressure relief cap (tin-plated; precise design significantly increases breaking capacity).
- Top cover (hot-dip galvanized over 80 µm; made integral with the operating hook).
- Upper moving contact (3 µm silver plating, integral with the upper terminal clamp — improved conductivity).
- Upper moving contact rod (3 µm silver plating, tightly fitted into the cast part in the middle — improved conductivity).
- Fuse carrier (UV-resistant, non-hygroscopic, durable).
- Trunnion (3 µm silver plating) — the carrier does not wobble sideways when closing, high precision.
- Drop-out mechanism (ensures fast release of the carrier end and reduces the force transmitted to the fuse link when closing).
- High-strength insulator (self-cleaning surface, high strength, excellent workmanship).
Note: all iron parts are hot-dip galvanized (coating thickness over 80 µm), stainless steel is high-quality grade 304; cast parts are optionally precision cast from brass or aluminium bronze.
