HIGH-VOLTAGE FUSES –

Part 4: Additional testing requirements for high-voltage
expulsion fuses utilizing polymeric insulators

FOREWORD
1) The International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) is a worldwide organization for standardization comprising
all national electrotechnical committees (IEC National Committees). The object of IEC is to promote
international co-operation on all questions concerning standardization in the electrical and electronic fields. To
this end and in addition to other activities, IEC publishes International Standards, Technical Specifications,
Technical Reports, Publicly Available Specifications (PAS) and Guides (hereafter referred to as "IEC
Publication(s)"). Their preparation is entrusted to technical committees; any IEC National Committee interested
in the subject dealt with may participate in this preparatory work. International, governmental and non-
governmental organizations liaising with the IEC also participate in this preparation. IEC collaborates closely
with the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) in accordance with conditions determined by
agreement between the two organizations.
2) The formal decisions or agreements of IEC on technical matters express, as nearly as possible, an international
consensus of opinion on the relevant subjects since each technical committee has representation from all
interested IEC National Committees.
3) IEC Publications have the form of recommendations for international use and are accepted by IEC National
Committees in that sense. While all reasonable efforts are made to ensure that the technical content of IEC
Publications is accurate, IEC cannot be held responsible for the way in which they are used or for any
misinterpretation by any end user.
4) In order to promote international uniformity, IEC National Committees undertake to apply IEC Publications
transparently to the maximum extent possible in their national and regional publications. Any divergence
between any IEC Publication and the corresponding national or regional publication shall be clearly indicated in
the latter.
5) IEC itself does not provide any attestation of conformity. Independent certification bodies provide conformity
assessment services and, in some areas, access to IEC marks of conformity. IEC is not responsible for any
services carried out by independent certification bodies.
6) All users should ensure that they have the latest edition of this publication.
7) No liability shall attach to IEC or its directors, employees, servants or agents including individual experts and
members of its technical committees and IEC National Committees for any personal injury, property damage or
other damage of any nature whatsoever, whether direct or indirect, or for costs (including legal fees) and
expenses arising out of the publication, use of, or reliance upon, this IEC Publication or any other IEC
Publications.
8) Attention is drawn to the Normative references cited in this publication. Use of the referenced publications is
indispensable for the correct application of this publication.
9) Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this IEC Publication may be the subject of
patent rights. IEC shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
International Standard IEC 60282-4 has been prepared by subcommittee 32A: High-voltage
fuses, of IEC technical committee 32: Fuses.
The text of this International Standard is based on the following documents:

INTRODUCTION
High-voltage expulsion fuses are tested according to IEC 60282-2 which recognizes that fuse-
bases may use polymer (non-ceramic) insulators. However, very little additional testing is
specified for fuses using such insulators. In the case of polymer post insulators and
suspension insulators, only artificial pollution tests are required in accordance with IEC 61592
and IEC 61109, respectively. However, for fuses that use insulators not covered by these
International Standards, such as certain fuse-cutouts, the additional testing required is by
agreement between manufacturer and user. Fuses that need such "additional testing" are
expulsion fuses that utilize polymer insulators in which a single mounting bracket is used,
either at the centre of an insulator or connected to two insulators (a "cutout fuse-base"). As
the market for expulsion fuses using polymer insulators has grown, manufacturers have
introduced many tests in addition to artificial pollution tests, covering other aspects of a fuse's
performance. This document formalises such testing and provides standardisation and
consistency. It should be noted that the document focusses on product testing as opposed to
material testing. In addition to drawing on test procedures covered by IEC 62217:2012,
Polymeric HV insulators for indoor and outdoor use – General definitions, test methods and
acceptance criteria, material from IEEE Std C37.41™:2016 (primarily 18.1.2 Long-term
deformation/creep testing) is also used, with the permission of IEEE.
