Kearney™ fuse links

General
Eaton's Cooper Power Systems Kearney™ fuse
links can be applied to a variety of applications
requiring overcurrent protection of distribution
systems and equipment. When properly coordinated
with other overcurrent protective devices,
sectionalizing to isolate faulted feeder branches or
equipment can be accomplished.
Kearney fuse links are available in a variety of
types offering a wide selection of operating
characteristics. The links incorporate low melting
temperature elements, captive washers, highresistance strain wires, and color-coded high
strength tubes. The low temperature melting
tin elements enhance overload capability by
guaranteeing non-damageability of the fuse tubes.
These elements are capable of absorbing vibration
as well as thermal shock due to current surges
and heating and cooling throughout the daily load
cycle. They can be further distinguished by their

years of superior service proven by Time Current
Characteristic (TCC) Curve verification of aged fuse
links. Consult your Eaton's Cooper Power Systems
sales representative for more details.
The fuse links have been designed and tested to
the IEEE Std C37.42™ standard.
The following are the types of fuse links offered:
•	

Type K

•	

Type T

•	

Type 200™ (N)

•	

Type KS

•	

Type SQ

•	

Type QA™

Kearney fuse links

Effective March 2014

Internal construction
All Kearney fuse links are designed with low melting temperature
element components of either tin or solder filled dual element
construction. Each element material shipment from our supplier is
accompanied with a certification of quality and composition. The
diameter is verified in incoming inspection. Low melting temperature
fuse links Types K, T, 200, X and KS have exceptional overload
capability. They are designed to carry 150% of their continuous
current rating continuously without damage to the fuse link itself or
to the cutout fuseholder in which they are installed. (Care should be
exercised so that the current rating of the cutout is not exceeded.)

Tin element
Links using pure tin elements have a precision gauged strain
wire crimped in parallel to provide tension loading properties.
The tin element is soldered into position providing the industry’s
best possible electrical connection between the element and its
terminals. The low melting temperature of the tin allows all of the
fuse link components to operate at a lower temperature while
providing long term reliable TCC.

REMOVABLE
BUTTONS
Allow fuse links
to be used
in all open
and enclosed
cutouts, including
cutouts with arcshortening rods.
CAPTIVE WASHER
Will not fall off prior to
or during installation.
(Can be removed for
use where 1/2" button or no button is
required.)

AMPERE SIZE
Marked on top of screw
terminal, so that it can be
seen after the fuse link is
installed in a fuseholder.

IDENTIFICATION
Fuse link type, ampere size
and date of manufacture
marked on periphery of screw
terminal.
SWAGED FERRULE
Extends around fuse link
tube to ensure single end
expulsion on low fault currents.

Dual element
There are two dual element designs. The dual element design
for 1 and 2 A K, KS, X, T, 200 (N), QA, and SQ 0.2 A - 1.45 A link
assemblies is composed of a heater coil mounted around a solder
pot that is soldered to a fuse element. Types KS and X links above
2 A and SQ links above 1.4 A have two wire elements in series
which are axially inserted into a soldered coil.
Dual element links which use solder coils are mechanically crimped
to the body and screw terminals. The elements are inserted into the
coil and meticulously gauged to assure that active element lengths
are maintained. The soldering process then permanently sets the
active elements to the proper TCC curve and guarantees positive
electrical continuity.

FUSE LINK TYPE
Marked on length
of tube to aid in
identification of fuse
type.

COLOR CODE
High bust strength tube
color coded for each
fuse link to minimize the
potential of installing
wrong fuse link type.

SPRING
On all fuse links through 25
A to aid in clearance of low
level faults by ejecting the fuse
cable and creating a positive
element separation.

Dual elements allow the fuse to respond as low temperature single
element fuses for long time overloads, yet have superior lightning
surge withstand capability. Both types of links have up to 26 times
more surge withstand capability than single element fuse links.

Final construction
After passing in-process QA checks, high strength color coded tubes
are swaged to both the single and dual element fuse links. A unique
self locking washer and button is attached to the screw terminal.
Every fuse link is axial pull tested to verify mechanical strength
before packaging in the Kearney unique “lineman friendly” pull-tab
fuse packs.

Fuse link selection
Type K (tube color brown)
Kearney Type K fuse links have been tested to the IEEE Std C37.42™
standard requirements for a “fast” fuse. The nominal speed ratio
of Type K fuse links is 7. Type K fuse links are well suited where
“fast” time-current characteristics are desired such as for capacitor
protection.

Figure 1. Fuse link features.

Type 200 (N) (tube color green)
Kearney Type 200 fuse links are classified as “medium” speed
fuses, with a nominal speed ratio of 10. Type 200 fuse links provide
more surge withstand capability than Type K links, and provide good
coordination possibilities with relays and reclosers.

www.cooperpower.com

Type QA (tube color yellow)
Kearney Type QA fuse links are classified as “medium” speed fuse
links with a nominal speed ratio of 10. Type QA fuse links will carry
100% of the rated current continuously without damage, and provide
good coordination possibilities with relays and reclosers.

Technical Data 327-40

Kearney fuse links

Effective March 2014

Type T (tube color white)

Kearney Type KS fuse links employ dual element construction which
gives the Type KS high surge withstand capability, and a nominal
speed ratio of 20. Classified as “very slow” fuse links, the Type KS
has greater surge current withstand capability than the Type T, and is
a good choice for line fusing and transformer protection.

Type X (tube color orange) and Type SQ (tube color brown)
Kearney Type X and SQ fuse links are specially designed for transformer protection. Type X and SQ fuse links employ dual element
construction, which allows the time- current characteristic to be carefully shaped to closely match the IEEE Std C57.91™ standard loading
curve for transformers while providing excellent surge withstand
to avoid nuisance blowing from lightning and switching surges. The
nominal speed ratio of the Type X and SQ fuse links is 32.

Packaging
All fuse links are packed in individual cartons for the maximum
protection and ease of use. Cartons are perforated for easy opening.
Fuse links can be removed with gloves on. Fuse Link Type and
Ampere Ratings are clearly marked on the carton. The print will not
smear or run.
Five Pack Sleeves: Fuse Link Type and Ampere Rating are clearly
marked on box front and end of cartons. Individual cartons are
tabbed so that remaining fuses stay securely in the carton as others
are removed.
Overcartons: All fuse links 100 A and below are packed in protective
overcartons 25 per box. Catalog Number, Fuse Link Type, Ampere
Rating, and Date of Manufacture are marked on the label for ease of
selection.
NNote: SQ links are individually packaged in transparent plastic bags. Bagged
fuses are packed in an overcarton for protection and ease of handling. The
catalog number, fuse type and amp rating are clearly marked on each bag and
on all cartons.

Type

Electrical equipment such as transformers, switches, relays, and
conductors are exposed to various levels of current during normal
operation. Generally, electrical devices can withstand high currents
for a short period of time and low current for longer periods of time
without thermal or mechanical damage. The ability to withstand
various levels of current for various periods of time is referred to as
time-current characteristics.

Coordination of power systems involves the selection of fuse links
to protect equipment with various time-current characteristics while
coordinating with reclosers, circuit breakers, sectionalizers, relays,
and other fuses. Kearney offers six types of fuse links with a wide
range of time-current characteristics (refer to Table 1).
The speed ratio of all fuse link sizes 100 A and below is the ratio
between the current that melts the fuse in 0.1 seconds to the
current that melts the fuse in 300 seconds. The higher the ratio,
the slower the speed of melting. For fuses rated above 100 A, the
speed ratio is between the melting currents at 0.1 second and 600
seconds.

Indicating type tubular secondary fuses

Universal adapter assemblies

Indicating type tubular secondary fuses protect transformers and
capacitors from secondary overloads and faults. Each secondary
fuse has a spring locked red plastic flag which springs out from the
cartridge when the fuse link melts, indicating an outage. Fuses are
available with insulated or non-insulated leads.

This universal adapter assembly will adapt Fit-All™ fuse links for use
in the cutouts that have bolt-type cable connections to connect the
upper as well as the lower cable. Note from the table that only five
sizes are required to adapt to any type fuse.
