Need help finding info on this M.V. Fuse

Need help finding info on this M.V. Fuse

Need help finding info on this M.V. Fuse

(OP)
This fuse is in an indoor 12kV switchgear, it feeds an indoor transformer. I want to model it in Etap to conduct an arc flash study. I don't really care much about the manufacture, just want info on it so I can cross reference it with a common fuse type from one of the other popular manufactures.

I have no idea what it is.

Anyone see the logo or company before?

I think I am out of luck trying to find info on this fuse.

RE: Need help finding info on this M.V. Fuse

Looks like a standard European DIN medium voltage fuse. Plenty manufacturers, here is ABB's catalogue page:

Thanks, on the SLD is has the following:

EPE 200A

I'm not sure what the EPE stands for?
There is another similar substation that has a 150E fuse. I'm assuming that is an  “E” Designation: Fuses rated 100E or below will melt in 300 seconds at a current value between 2.0 and 2.4 times the E number. Fuses rated above 100E will melt in 600 seconds at a current value between 2.2 and 2.64 times the E number. If the current is higher than 2.4 or 2.64 times the E number, the user must consult the time-current curves for that particular fuse.

RE: Need help finding info on this M.V. Fuse

I did not realize that was the definition of an E fuse.

RE: Need help finding info on this M.V. Fuse

This happened to me twice: In both cases, I found out that they were Driescher fuses.
