Overcurrent / short circuit protection

7.1

Overcurrent / short circuit protection

HRC fuses or moulded case circuit breakers for short circuit protection have to be used. Short

circuit protection equipment and connection cable should be dimensioned to handle the 1.5

times rated current of the capacitor permanently.

• Selection of connection cables should be dimensioned according to handling of current (for

recommendations, refer to the appendix).

•

protection!

• MCCBs and HRC fuse rating has to be 1,6 ... 1,8 times nominal capacitor current.

• Do not use HRC fuses for switching capacitors (lightning arc!).

• Use thermal / magnetic overcurrent relays for overload protection.

HRC fuses do not protect the capacitor against overload. They are only a short circuit
