IEEE Standard Design Tests for High-Voltage (>1000 V) Fuses
and Accessories
The test report shall report all of the tests performed, including the
“unsatisfactory” test. Only one “unsatisfactory” test, involving
failure to drop open, is acceptable during an entire group of tests
as specified in Table 5.
c) A filled current-limiting fuse shall not emit filler material or flame
during interrupting tests, although a minor emission of flame from
a striker or indicating device is permissible, provided this does not
cause breakdown.
d) Indicating fuses need not comply with any specific additional
requirements other than that the indicator shall fully operate. If a
fuse includes a device, the only function of which is to provide
indication of a fuse operation, and that indicator does not operate,
then although the fuse has failed to pass the test as a fuse with an
indicator, the test may be used as part of a series to demonstrate
that an otherwise identical non-indicating fuse has met the
requirements of the standard.
e) After an interruption test, all parts of the device shall be in
proper position, and the fuse shall be removable from its support
in one piece as intended.
In addition, after replacing parts that are normally field replaceable
(see NOTE below), excluding a fuseholder, the condition of the
device shall be as follows:
f) Mechanical requirements: The condition of the device shall be in
substantially the same condition as at the beginning of the test. It
is acceptable for the bore of expulsion devices to have some
amount of erosion.
g) Electrical requirements: The device shall be capable of carrying
rated current continuously at the rated maximum voltage. If there
is evidence to suggest the device may not be able to carry rated
current continuously because of contact deterioration, a
temperature-rise test (see Clause 11) shall be performed using the
maximum size fuse link, fuse unit, or refill unit. This temperature-
rise test shall be performed on the device at rated current for the
time it takes for the temperature to stabilize. Temperatures
reached by the device may be higher than those achieved by a
new device.
h) Dielectric requirements: If there is evidence of insulator
contamination from the test, a powerfrequency dry-withstand test
shall be performed at 80% of the normal test value for the device
specified in IEEE Std C37.42-2016.
After certain groups of tests, as specified in Table 5 and Table 17,
the fuseholder may be changed. The acceptance criteria f)
through h) are to be met with the fuseholder that has just been
tested, even though it may not be suitable for any additional
testing.
NOTE—Examples of parts that are normally field replaceable
include replaceable fuse links, fuse units, refill units, expendable
caps, and exhaust-control devices. The device manufacturer will
specify which parts are to be replaced after a test, but note that
the requirements of individual tests may limit the replacement of
some parts until certain tests, or groups of tests, have been
completed.

Durante todo el ensayo, el fusible se montará en la (s) posición
(es) de servicio que probablemente permitirían que el agua
ingrese a cualquier abertura en el dispositivo.
