A fuse cutout is a safety device on power distribution lines that protects equipment from overcurrents by using a fuse link to interrupt the flow of electricity when a fault occurs.
Porcelain & Silicone Cutouts
Peak Demand offers its line of porcelain cutouts as part of the Pinnacle™ Series product family and its line of silicone-composite cutouts as part of the Summit™ Series family of products. Regardless of the insulator selected, Peak Demand cutouts have been designed and tested to stand up to the toughest environment. We designed, tested, improved, and tested again until we were sure we had a cutout that is second to none.
The Design Team
Peak Demand cutouts were designed by an engineering team with more than 30 years of experience in design, manufacturing, component supply, sales, and customer support of cutouts in the United States and abroad. Each individual on the team is a member of IEEE with one having a presence with the IEEE Committee which writes, reviews, and updates the IEEE cutout standards.
Test Reports
All cutouts have been or will be tested to IEEE C37.42. All tests have been done at globally recognized labs. Test reports are available by request.
Verified Interchangeability
We tested interchangeability because we know it’s critical to utility customers. Peak Demand’s fuse holders have been tested for fit and thermal heat rise in the fuse supports of other manufacturers’ cutouts. These tests prove that Peak Demand’s fuse holder and fuse supports fit and function in the fuse supports or the fuse holders of other manufacturers. With verified interchangeability, Peak Demand cutouts will be easily deployed and serviced.
