2. APPLICATIONS Fuse−base Rated voltage
The WBP fuse−links are used to protect switchgear equipment against type 6 – 7,2 kV
short−circuits in voltage transformers. Protection of switchgear equipment 10 – 12 kV
is very effective thanks to unlimited breaking capacity and short circuit 20 – 24 kV
current limitation. Thanks to very small dimensions WBP type fuse−links 30 – 36 kV
can be used in various types of switchgears, including flame−proof types.

Note: In case of installation of WBP fuses in closed housing and similar equipment characterised by heat exchange (stabilised ambient air
temperature exceeds +40˚C) the value of nominal current In should be reduced by 0.1 A.

Recommendation of fuse links selection for MV voltage transformer protection

ABB Sp. z o.o. recommends using instrument transformers fuse elements type WBT from our production portfolio as protection for ABB's voltage transformers types UMZ and UDZ
equipped with fuse holder. Using instrument transformer fuses has two main functions; to protect distribution equipment against results of internal voltage transformers short circuits and to
reduce probability of explosion possibility in case of damage of internal isolation of voltage transformers.
The selection of fuse element for protection of voltage transformer should be done mainly in dependence on rated primary voltage of voltage transformer*. The rated voltage of fuse element
should be equal or higher of (phase to phase) rated voltage for primary winding of voltage transformer, for example for VT type UMZ 15-1 working with voltage √ 3 kV on primary winding, one
should select fuse link type WBP-10 that rated voltage is 10 kV.
The rated current of fuse links type WBP was reduced from 0,8A to 0,4-0,7A (depending on Un ) starting from January 2001. The reason of this change was to improve
cooperation between fuse link and voltage transformers.
Comparison of past voltage transformer fuse links type WBP with the new one is presented in the table below:
ABB Sp. z o.o. recommends to use new fuse links with limited rated current (0,4- 0,7A) for protection voltage transformers type UMZ and UDZ instead of using former ones with
rated current 0,8A.
