Momentary-contact

rotary control switch

(option)

The three-position switch is CLOSED-OPENED locally with its motor operating 
mechanism. This function is only active when the local-remote switch (option) is in the 
‘‘LOCAL“ position.

The momentary-contact rotary control switch is spring-return type and returns to the 
center position (M position) automatically.

Bay controller (option)

For information on the bay controller (e.g., SIPROTEC 4), please refer to the instruction 
manual for the protective device.

8.5

HV HRC (current limiting) fuse assembly

The HV HRC (current limiting) fuse assembly protects downstream cable runs and/or 
devices.

The fuses used in SIMOSEC switchgear are manufactured by Bussman. The fuses 
comply with IEC 60282-1 and ANSI/IEEE C37.41. They are a general purpose current 
limiting fuse. The time-current characteristics of the fuses comply with the parameters 
for E-rated fuses as defined by ANSI C37.46.

The three-position switch-disconnector in the transformer feeder in combination with  
Bussmann HV HRC (current limiting) fuses was tested according to ANSI/IEEE C37.20.4.
