Full-range technology fuses
SIBA Fuses introduces True Full-Range Technology with their SIBA 7.2kV and 12kV fuses which are capable of operating at 100% full-range tested voltage and rated currents. eir 7.2kV fuses are available up to 180A in a single body and 12kV fuses up to 160A. For the increased levels of power used, such as in wind applications, SIBA developed high-voltage SSK type fuse-links that extend the range of usage for switch-fuse combinations up to larger transformers. In connection with the temperature limiting striker pin, which avoids switchgear damage caused by higher temperatures, this high-voltage fuse type allows proper and cost-e ective fusing of distribution transformers by means of switch-fuse combinations with low power losses and high interrupt rating. ese switch-fuse combinations can replace more expensive CB’s, even in the case of transformer powers of up to 3,150kVA, and can limit the short-circuit power early in the process.

Craneless technology reaching new heights
e LT1200 Liftra Self-Hoisting Crane is Liftra’s contribution to lower costs for owners and operators by enabling craneless replacement of major components. Getting the crane up to the nacelle is accomplished with a base system that is installed inside the nacelle, and a hoist block is lifted up, threading wires from the container to the base. e crane itself climbs the wires from the container and mounts onto the base. From there, no further assembly is required, and operation can begin. e new LT1200 Self- Hoisting Crane can lower and lift major components up to 78 tons, can be used on turbines with a hub height up to 170m, and is safe to operate in winds up to 18 m/s. LT1200 is delivered in a single 40ft container for easy mobilization, meaning no prior groundwork, and a minimal on-site footprint.
