HRW5-35 Drop-Out High Voltage Fuse
The HRW5 series drop-out fuse is designed for outdoor high-voltage protection in overhead line networks and distribution transformers up to 12kV. It provides effective overcurrent protection by interrupting short-circuits and overloads with a visible fuse disconnection.
Commonly used in rural grids, substations, and industrial feeders, the HRW5 fuse is a reliable and cost-effective safety solution in medium voltage networks.

🌍 Real Case Example: Power Grid Upgrade – South Africa (2021)
In 2021, over 5,000 HRW5 drop-out fuses were installed in Limpopo Province to improve grid reliability in remote areas. Each fuse assembly included an anti-pollution ceramic insulator, rated at 12kV/100A.
• Cut total transformer outage time by 30%
• Enabled visual fault isolation for faster maintenance
• Compatible with local standard cross-arm brackets
❓ Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
• Can this fuse be used in high-pollution outdoor areas?
Yes. Polymer and anti-pollution porcelain options are available.
• How is the fuse replaced after breaking?
The drop-out design allows easy fuse tube removal and replacement using a hot stick.
• What fuse links are compatible?
DIN, ANSI, and custom-sized links can be configured depending on your grid standard.
• Does the fuse provide visible disconnection?
Yes. After blowing, the fuse tube drops visibly, confirming isolation.
• Can it work with distribution transformers directly?
Absolutely. It is commonly mounted on poles to protect 10–12kV transformers.
