Switching of capacitors
3TL vacuum contactors
can interrupt capacitive
currents up to 250 A up
to the rated voltage of 12
kV without restrikes, and
thus without overvoltage.

HV HRC (high voltage high

rupturing capacity) fuses are
used for short-circuit
protection. They protect
plant and equipment from
the dynamic and thermal
effects of high short-circuit
currents by interrupting them
when they occur.

makes it possible to reduce
inrush currents to acceptable
values for the corresponding
control device.
