Benefits
For the 3KL switch disconnectors with fuse, a UL approval has
been granted in combination with the new 3NE1 ...–2 fuse
series.

Area of application
When SITOR semiconductor protection fuses are used in
SENTRIC NP, SENTRIC KL and 3KM switch disconnectors, a
partial reduction of the rated current of the fuse is necessary due
to the higher power loss in comparison with LV HRC fuses for line
protection. The use of SITOR semiconductor protection fuses in
switch disconnectors may at times result in current values above
the rated currents of the switches. These increased currents oc-
cur only when the switch is used with SITOR semiconductor pro-
tection fuses; they cannot be utilized when the switch is used
with standard LV HRC fuses. Details are given in the table below.
When SITOR semiconductor protection fuses of series 3NC24,
3NC84, 3NE33 and 3NE43 are used, the switching capacity of
the switch disconnectors as specified in the catalog must not be
fully utilized, as the blades of these fuses (in contrast to LV HRC
line-protection fuses) are slotted. Occasional switching of cur-
rents up to the rated currents of the fuses is permissible.
Due to the mechanical stress on the relatively long fuse blades,
3NE41 SITOR semiconductor protection fuses should be
switched only occasionally and only at zero current. If it is only
permissible to switch at zero current, the switch must be marked
accordingly.
The use of SITOR semiconductor protection fuses rated above
63 A for overload protection is also not permitted when gR fuses
(except 3NE1) are used.
The operating voltage is limited by the rated voltage of the
switch disconnector or the fuses. During current-free switching,
the limit value is the rated insulation voltage of the switch discon-
nector.
The 3NE1 “double protection fuses” can be used both as all-
range fuses (gR/gS) as well as for semiconductor and line pro-
tection.
Due to the dimensions of SITOR semiconductor protection
fuses, only the fuses shown in the Selection and ordering data
below can be used in the SENTRIC NP, SENTRIC KL and 3KM
switch disconnectors.

Selection and ordering data
1) If a cyclic load is applied, it may be necessary to further reduce the cur-
rents (please inquire about precise values).
2) Values in brackets apply to the SENTRIC 3NP4 fuse switch disconnector.
