Technical Data 1042 Effective February 2019 Supersedes October 2017 250 V and 600 V cable limiters Features and benefits: • Cable limiters enhance multi-conductor system reliability by isolating faulted conductors and taking them offline while the balance of the conductors continue delivering power to their circuits. This is why cable limiters are often used in utility low voltage networks and large multi-cable per phase service entrances. • Cable limiters enhance service entrance conductor short-circuit protection with currentlimiting performance that exceed the typical protection offered by utility overcurrent protective devices. • Cable limiters meet many system requirements with 250 Vac or 600 Vac ratings for conductor sizes from 12 AWG to 1000 kcmil and terminal options available that make them easy to install including: • Tube-to-tube (crimp) Product description: Cable limiters are intended to provide short-circuit protection to electrical systems, typically between the transformer and service entrance. Should a short-circuit occur, the cable limiter removes the affected cable(s) from service and permits the other conductors to continue delivering power. Cable limiters are often used in utility low voltage networks and large multi-cable per phase service entrances. Unlike fuses, cable limiters are selected by cable size rather than amp rating, e.g., a “4/0” limiter will carry the current of a 4/0 cable. Limiters are stable, totally self-contained, static devices with unchanging characteristics that operate without venting ionized gases or explosive action. Under high short-circuit conditions, limiters cut off fault currents within one-half cycle (0.008 second) and reduce insulation damage from the immense heat that is developed by sustained fault current flow. They confine damage to the point of the short-circuit and stop long-length cable burn-back and striking of multiple arcs. This minimizes or eliminates damage to adjacent conductors. • • Tube-to-offset bolt (crimp/bolt-in) • Tube-to-center bolt (crimp/bolt-in) • Compression rod-to-tube (crimp) • Bolt-to-offset bolt (bolt-in) Select cable limiters are UL Listed under File E90818 for use on 600 V circuit for protection against faults up to 200 kA. Technical Data 1042 Cable limiters Effective February 2019 250 V UH Series Catalog Symbol • UH__ Applications • The 250 Vac UH cable limiters are designed specifically for use in residential applications.
