CS-3 E-rated 5kV 8kV and 15kV fuses
have 2 or 3 inch diameter barrels with ferrules and
are mounted in spring reinforced clips. They are UL
listed as “general purpose current-limiting fuses” and
are for use indoors (or outdoors in a weatherproof
enclosure). The unique time-current characteristic
of Ferraz Shawmut E-rated fuses allows them to be
closely sized to transformer full-load rated current,
as recommended by IEEE guidelines, without being
affected by normal magnetizing inrush current. CS-3
fuses are typically sized at transformer rated current
of 133%, thereby providing superior overall
protection.

DEFInITIOnS:
E-rating
E-rated fuses operate as follows:
100E or less - must melt in 300 seconds (5 mins.)
at 200 to 240% of E (ampere) rating.
Over 100E - must melt in 600 seconds (10 mins.)
at 220 to 264% of E (ampere) rating.
Example - A 100E fuse must melt in 300 seconds with an
applied current of 200 to 240 amperes.
General Purpose Current-Limiting Fuse
A general purpose current-limiting power fuse is one that
is capable of interrupting all currents from its rated inter-
rupting rating down to the current that causes melting of
the fusible element in one hour.
