This rugged design features show the highest reliability levels endorsed by extensive field use records. The V-Rupt parts are made of brass, silver-plated copper and tin-plated. The materials are chosen with particularly attention to galvanic corrosion.

​

• The fuse holder is made with fiber-glass filament wound tubing resistant to UV rays and harsh weather. It is interchangeable and easily traceable due to the specific identification on the stick;

• The fuse holder is equipped with expendable cap with rupture capacity of 8,275 kPa

(1,200lb/po2);

• The cable terminals are sized for cables with diameter between 5 and 21 mm;

• The insulator is especially made for the application following very strict specifications to ensure reliability and durability in a wide range of temperature and within harsh environment. Each insulator is identified for easy traceability;

• Reverse current loop contacts at both line and hinge ends increase contact pressure during high surges preventing pitting and burning;

• Positive lever operated latch prevents accidental opening;

• High quality cast bronze construction. Stainless steel utilized in selected pins and springs;

• Animal proofing;

• Silver-plated, spring-loaded copper contacts;
