2 Telecom WIA Training Section 1 Fuse Definition and Telecom Circuit Protection Needs Fuse Definition A fuse is a calibrated, intentionally weak link in an electrical circuit that provides over-current protection. Circuit Protection Needs in the Telecom Segment Lightning ESD Inductive Short Circuit/Power-Cross Fuse Technology for Telecom Overcurrent Circuit Protection Elimination of series line resistance enabling longer loop lengths Precise longitudinal balance allowing better transmission quality Typical Telecom Test Standards ITU K.20 K.21 Bellcore GR-1089 UL 60950 Typical Fuse Test Standards IEC 60127 UL 248 MITI

3 Fuse Definition and Telecom Circuit Protection
A fuse is a calibrated, intentionally weak link in an electrical circuit. Fuses function by reacting to the heat generated from excessive current flow. Once the fuses I2t rating is exceeded, the center conductor opens. A fuse is used to prevent fires and overheating when something goes wrong with electrical equipment. This can be the result of an accident, such as unintentional contact between power and the telephone line, an improper connection/installation, poor maintenance work, or a vandalism. A fuse is intended to operate before a catastrophic event occurs and can create a safety hazard. Electrical components such as capacitors, transformers, resistors, etc., can fail due to a manufacturing defect or old age, and could draw an excessive amount of current and catch fire. A fuse does not prevent a fault from occurring, but will operate quickly to prevent further damage occurring or the equipment becoming a safety hazard. The fuse can also limit the extent of the damage to a small portion of the equipment making repairs less costly IEC, UL, MITI, and CCC standards all provide definitions and requirements for fuses. For example, IEC-127 gives specific dimensional requirements and also specifying a series of fuse tests.

4 Fuse Definition and Telecom Circuit Protection
Circuit Protection Needs in Telecom Systems Thunderstorms around the world deliver 8 million lightning flashes every day. Peak current in lightning discharges range from a few KA to many hundreds of KA. Induced currents from indirect strikes range from 10A to 20KA. ESD results from the build up of electrical charge, when two non-conductive materials are brought together then separated. The potential between a human body & an object can exceed 35,000 volts. An ESD event can occur to the telecom system or portable devices through human contact and usage of the telecom devices. Inductive Load Switching is caused when an inductive load is interrupted. It occurs in factory/industrial environments where motors and relays (inductive loads) are turned on and off. Short Circuit or Power Cross events can occur due to human error (such cutting a phone and power line simultaneously during construction) or natural disaster such as hurricane, thunderstorm. One or a combination of the above threats can have obvious adverse effects on semiconductor/IC devices, electro-mechanical contacts, wiring insulation, etc., to cause interruption of telecom equipment operation, telephone service, and even fire.

5 Fuse Definition and Telecom Circuit Protection
Fuse Technology for Telecom Overcurrent Circuit Protection Telecom equipment should be protected from overcurrnent conditions using either PTCs, fuses, power/line feed resistors, or flameproof resistors. A Fuse is a series element placed in front of the overvoltage protector on either Tip or Ring for metallic applications and on both Tip and Ring for longitudinal applications. Due to their stability, fuses are one of the most popular solutions for meeting AC power cross requirements for telecommunications equipment. Littelfuse Telecom WIA Fuses are designed to only interrupt a circuit when extreme fault conditions exist and, when coordinated properly with an overvoltage protector, offer a very competitive and effective solution for transient immunity needs. Advantages include: Elimination of series line resistance enabling longer loop lengths Precise longitudinal balance allowing better transmission quality Robust surge performance which eliminates costly down time due to nuisance blows Greater surge ratings than resettable devices, ensuring regulatory compliance Non-degenerative performance Telecommunication equipment best suited for a fuse is equipment that requires surface mount technology (and is thus sensitive to transients), accurate longitudinal balance, and regulatory compliance without the use of additional series line impedance.

Adiabatic Process: No heat transfer to surrounding. All energy concentrated in a specific area for a split second. 2. Measure of the energy required to open a fuse when subjected to an adiabatic current pulse. 3. Due to adiabatic current pulses, the fusing element is stressed both thermally and mechanically. Depending on the energy and number of pulses it could weaken due to aging: - Fatigue - Pre-diffusion - Oxidation

Maximum Ratings (Breaking Capacity) Fuse Voltage Rating The maximum system voltage for which the fuse can be used without affecting the breaking capacity. When Fuse is subjected to high voltages (>rated voltage) and high currents (> rated breaking capacity), the fuse may explode. Interrupt Rating = Breaking Capacity = Prospective current a fuse can interrupt safely at rated it’s voltage: - No damage to environment - Fuse remains intact - Insulation resistance maintained Pulse Withstanding Capabilities Ability of fuses to sustain a number of adiabatic current pulses containing a specified amount of energy with sufficient cooling in between. - Pulse in % of I²t value - Fuse remains intact with a minimum aging

16 WIA Fuse Characteristics and Device Physics
Fuse Elements: Slow-blow vs. Fast Acting Diffusion (Slo-Blo) Non Diffusion (Fast Acting) At high overloads a Slo-Blo in principle acts like a Fast Acting fuse because no time is available to start the diffusion process. - High overloads: about 4In (4x current rating) and higher. Diffusion starts at °C. Slo-Blo fuse elements should not be operated continuously above 150°C to prevent aging. Although no Sn pellet / plating is present it is not recommended to load Fast acting fuses continuously above °C due to: - Oxidation of the fusing-element material - Change of material properties Non Diffusion (Fast Acting) Diffusion (Slo-Blo)

17 WIA Fuse Characteristics and Device Physics
Fuse Body Strength and Breaking Capacity Interrupt Rating = Breaking capacity Prospective current a fuse can interrupt safely at it’s rated voltage. - No damage to it’s environment - Fuse body remains intact - Insulation resistance maintained (> 0.5MOhm) Rated Voltage / Voltage Rating: - The maximum system voltage for which the fuse can be used without affecting the breaking capacity - Typically 32, 63, 125, 250, 600V - The rated voltage is marked on the fuse body or terminations (end caps) Breaking Capacity Factors 1. Air Pressure from out-gas (due to fuse opening) cannot be larger than fuse body can withstand 2. Temperature of fuse body due to fuse element melting and arcing must not be higher than the ignition temperature of the fuse body 3. Fuse arcing time (time to extinguish) must not be longer than fuse body can withstand (could cause ignition or even vaporize fuse body) "Equivalent Fuse Body I2t" as Breaking Capacity.
