General
Chardon Bayonet Fuse Holders are used to protect transformers, switchgear, and
distribution systems. They are designed for use in oil filled (or approved equivalents) Installation

Chardon Bayonet Fuse Holder to complete
Two options are available on the sidewall mounted Bayonet Fuse Holder. the circuit.
1. A flapper valve is available inside the upper portion of the outer tube (see
Figure 2). This flapper valve closes when the inner fuse cartridge assembly is
removed. This results in minimal oil leakage from the transformer tank during
fuse link replacements, especially when the pressure relief valve fails to
potential risk of environmental damage due to oil escaping from the
transformer. It also reduces potential oil contamination to the rubber cable
accessories mounted on the transformer. The flapper valve also reduces
potential spillage due to pad tilting, or during installation and/or replacement of
the transformer, when tilting of the transformer is likely to occur.
2. The standard Chardon Bayonet Fuse Holder includes copper contacts for
connection to the transformer. Optional silver plated contacts are available
(and recommended) with high ampere bayonet fuse links. Silver pated
contacts, along with high ampere fue links, allow the fusing or lager kVA
transformers.
Chardon Bayonet Fuse Holders are designed to be used with Current Sensing, Dual
Sensing, and Dual Element fuse links. The Chardon Bayonet Fuse Holder must be
used in series with a current limiting fuse, or isolation link, to prevent the possibility of a
high current fault – even after replacement of a fuse link. Partial range current limiting
fuses use the low current clearing capabilities of the Chardon Bayonet Fuse Holder
while protecting the transformer or apparatus from high current internal faults that
could cause failure to the specific piece of equipment, as well as other system
damage.
