BIL rating of fuse. 1

[uts123]

Dear All,

Are fuse rated for BIL?
I haven't seen in manufacturer's catalog that it is rated for XXX BIL. I saw fuse is rated for current and system voltage.

So if we are using fuse for 95kV BIL system, the fuse should be rated for 95kV BIL. Am I right?

And there is no BIL declared in fuse manufacture's catalog. how I know that fuse is rated for which BIL ?

Please reply.

So why would anyone be concerned about a surge into failed equipment?

If you look at most cutouts, the air distance from jaw to jaw is usually greater than the air distance from jaw to ground.

It sounds like someone needs some field experence.
