Abstract

This paper describes the development of a prototype of an enclosure for a fuse cutout, for distribution networks of class 15 kV and 36.2 kV. The purpose of the enclosure is to protect the fuse cutout against third party intervention and ensure that only linemen will be able to perform maneuvers and maintenance. Besides protecting the fuse cutout, the enclosure should allow the proper operation of the device while still ensuring signaling the occurrence of events in the distribution network. The enclosure may be used in any fuse cutout, even in operation, with certain nominal characteristics and can still be installed with the line energized.
