When High-Current Protection Meets Smart Engineering
In a solar farm project in Arizona, engineers faced repeated downtime caused by 15kV capacitor bank failures. The solution came from an unexpected hero – the FERRAZ AJT15 current-limiting fuse. This 15kV-rated protector reduced fault clearance time to 0.003 seconds, cutting maintenance costs by 40% compared to previous solutions.
Precision Protection for Modern Grids
The AJT15’s silver-sand fuse element achieves 200A continuous current rating while maintaining ultra-fast response. Field data from Spanish wind farms shows 98.7% reliability over 50+ operations – crucial for protecting $500k+ MV transformers. Its unique axial exhaust design contains arc gases effectively, proven in confined substation installations across Tokyo’s metro system.
Beyond Spec Sheets: Real-World Impact
- Brazilian steel mill: Reduced arc flash incidents by 73% after AJT15 implementation
- Dutch datacenter: Achieved 99.995% power continuity using AJT15-backed protection
- Mining operations: Withstood -40°C to +85°C temperature swings in Siberian copper mines
FERRAZ’s 68 years of fuse manufacturing expertise shines through in the AJT15’s 50kA breaking capacity. As renewable energy projects grow 12% annually (Global Energy Council 2023), this French-engineered protector becomes indispensable for modern power infrastructure.
