Interchangeability
STANDARD Cutout
Chance was the first to design a cutout that could interchange
fuseholders and mounting assemblies with those of another
manufacture. Standard Type C fuseholders and mounting as-
semblies are mutually interchangeable with the S&C Electric
Company’s Type XS cutout (within the same voltage class).
The Type C-Polymer Standard cutout is mutually interchange-
able with Chance Type C Porcelain Standard cutout.
Synthetic Arc-Quenching Fusetube
The 1/2-inch inside diameter of the Type C-Polymer cutout’s 100
ampere fusetube increases internal pressure giving superior
and reliable expulsion action. During frequently encountered
intermediate fault ranges this diameter also permits higher
TRV (transient recovery voltage) values to be tolerated. This
small bore design eliminates any concern related to high
impedance phase-to-phase faults on ungrounded wye and
delta systems.
The inside liner is a synthetic arc-quenching formulation in
part consisting of polyester fiber, epoxy and Aluminum Tri
Hydrate. The liner is chemically bonded to the tube's glass-
reinforced shell. This combination provides a moisture source
to extinquish the arc during interrupt operations without
absorption of atmospheric moisture leading to potential
swelling and delamination, and provides a high bursting
strength. It is protected from the weather and environment
by a special ultra-violet resistant coating. For more infor- 100 Amp –
mation on the synthetic arc-quenching material, refer to Single Vent
Bulletin 10-0201. 15 kV/110 kV LIW (BIL)
The Hubbell fuse tube operates with fuselinks from all major
suppliers.
100 amp or smaller fuselinks shall not be used in 200-amp
fuseholders.
Brackets
Type C-Polymer cutouts come packed one per carton includ-
ing a NEMA Heavy Duty “B” bracket with captive 11/2" bolt
for crossarm mounting.
Type X brackets, also for crossarm mounting, provides 25/8"
additional clearance between the crossarm and the cutout.
“D” brackets are used to mount cutouts and/or arresters
directly to the pole. Three brackets may be used for three-
phase application. Type D brackets provide a clean, quick
mounting without crossarm or special pole bands.
All the above brackets are galvanized steel for long lasting
service. Cutouts can be ordered without any brackets.
Higher Interrupt Capacities
By using a copper arc shortening rod inside the top of the
110 kV LIW (BIL) product is

much shorter arc, resulting in less arc energy, and higher
interrupting capacities. For 200 A tubes, it allows for full
voltage ratings.
It is necessary to use fuse links with removable buttonheads
when arc shortening rods are employed.

Tin-plated bronze parallel groove type terminals are standard
on Type C cutouts. They can accommodate aluminum or kV
