Descriprion Of

Drop Out Fuse Unit

A Drop Out Fuse Unit is a critical protective device used in electrical power distribution systems to safeguard transformers, conductors, and other electrical equipment from overcurrent and short-circuit faults. This unit consists of a fuse carrier mounted on a pivoted hinge, which "drops out" or swings open when the fuse blows, providing a clear visual indication of a fault.

The drop-out mechanism not only interrupts the fault current but also ensures isolation, enabling safer maintenance and repair.
