POWER LINE PROTECTION COORDINATION SCHEMES USING PIVOTABLE MULTI-FUSE ASSEMBLIES

Power line protection coordination schemes using pivotable multi-fuse assemblies includes multiple power line fuse assemblies deployed on a power line. Each fuse assembly includes multiple fuses that can be pivoted about an electrical connection point. Multiple fuses across the multiple power line fuse assemblies are tagged with a common visual code. Multiple such common visual codes are defined. Each common visual code maps to a protection coordination scheme to manage power flowed to loads on the power line. In turn, each protection coordination scheme is mapped to a direction of flow of power. Based on a chosen direction, a protection coordination scheme is identified. When the identified scheme is deployed, all fuses tagged with the visual code mapped to the scheme are deployed by pivoting fuses about the electrical connection point.
