ELF Current-Limiting Dropout Fuse
The Cooper Power Systems ELF Current-Limiting Dropout Fuse is a full range current-limiting fuse designed for mounting in an industry standard interchangeable cutout that is presently used for expulsion fuses. The ELF fuse is designed to be used to protect pole-type transformers, single-phase and three-phase laterals and underground taps.
The full range current-limiting rating ensures reliable operation of all overloads and fault currents. The element construction consists of two separate sections (low-current section and high-current section) which are self-contained. The lowcurrent section provides consistent, reliable clearing of all currents high enough to melt the element.

Features
- The ELF dropout fuse operates silently, unlike expulsion fuses. In addition, the expulsive shower that exists with an expulsion fuse operation is eliminated. This offers increased safety to line personnel during circuit energization operations. In addition, the reliable drop open design makes locating the fault easy.
- The high-current section is a punchedhole ribbon design which controls peak arc voltage levels and limits both current and energy (I2t) letthrough levels during high-current fault clearing operation.
