Why Leading Factories Source Their Components from Us:
CNC-Machined Copper & Brass Parts: We use advanced CNC technology for all copper casting and brass components. This guarantees a smooth surface finish and uniform dimensions, eliminating the friction and fitment issues common with manual casting.
Automated Fuse Holder Assembly: While other factories rely on manual labor, our fuse holders are assembled by high-precision machines. This ensures consistent lengths and zero angle deviation, allowing for 100% interchangeability.
Minimized Tolerance on Insulator Pins: We fix our porcelain insulator pins with extremely tight tolerances. This precision means you can replace a fuse holder or insulator in the field effortlessly, without the “hit-or-miss” struggle caused by manual alignment errors.
Our Full Range of Spares Includes:
Fuse Holders & Fuse Tubes (Precision-fit)
Upper & Lower Assemblies (High-conductivity copper/brass)
Porcelain/Composite Insulators with Pins
NEMA Mounting Brackets & Hardware

FAQ
Q：What is a dropout fuse cutout?
A dropout fuse cutout is an overcurrent protection device used in medium voltage overhead distribution lines. When a fault occurs, the fuse link melts and the fuse tube automatically drops open (dropout action), creating a visible break and isolating the faulty section. This visible open gap provides safety for line crews and prevents sustained arcing. The cutout can be manually reclosed by a hot stick after replacing the fuse link.
Q：Are your parts compatible with ANSI standards?
Yes. AsiaPower manufactures fuse cutouts and replacement parts that are fully compatible with ANSI/NEMA SG 2 and ANSI C37.42 standards. Our products are designed to interchange with major North American brands including Chance, Kearney, S&C, and others. We also supply IEC-compliant versions for international markets. Please provide your existing part number or drawing for cross-reference.
Q：Can you manufacture according to drawings?
Yes. AsiaPower offers OEM manufacturing based on customer drawings, samples, or technical specifications. We can produce custom fuse tubes, fuse links, pull rings, hinge assemblies, and complete cutout bodies. Our engineering team reviews drawings and provides dimensional validation, material recommendations, and sample approval before mass production.
Q：What materials are used for contacts?
Fuse cutout contacts are manufactured using high-conductivity copper alloys, typically silver-plated or tin-plated to ensure low contact resistance and corrosion resistance. The stationary contact and hinge assembly are made from robust brass or bronze alloys. For harsh environments, we offer extra-thick silver plating and anti-corrosion treatments to extend service life.
Q：Do you supply OEM replacement parts?
Yes. AsiaPower is a dedicated OEM supplier of replacement parts for medium voltage fuse cutouts. We supply fuse links (fast, slow, and current-limiting types), fuse tubes (paper-phenolic or fiberglass), pull rings, hinge contacts, mounting brackets, and complete cutout assemblies. All parts are traceable with factory test reports and can be branded with your logo and packaging requirements.
