The Tandem ELFfuse can be applied for fusing single-phase transformersand for fusing three-phase transformers (or three-phasebanks of single-phase transformers). This fuse combines thefeatures of a series fuse link and a backup current-limitingfuse in one package. The Tandem ELF fuse (refer to Figure1) features a unique design for fast replacement of thefuse link after a low fault current operation or excessivetransformer overload current or replacement of both thefuse link and backup current-limiting fuse after a high faultcurrent operation. Note that when using recommended fuselinks or other properly coordinated fuse links, the fuse linkwill operate to provide for the dropout action of the TandemELF fuse following an interruption.Read this manual firstRead and understand the contents of this manual and followall locally approved procedures and safety practices beforeinstalling or operating this equipmentAdditional informationThese instructions cannot cover all details or variationsin the equipment, procedures, or process described norprovide directions for meeting every possible contingencyduring installation, operation, or maintenance.
