In case of short circuit, the HV HRC fuse melts already during the current rise. The released thermal striker activates an indication and operates the vacuum contactor. In the optimum time sequence, the fuse has already interrupted the short-circuit current at this time. In case of overload, a high continuous current overloads the fuselink thermally, thus tripping the thermal striker. The contactor already operates within the arcing time of the fuse, making a take-over current ow through the vacuum interrupters. The take-over current must not exceed maximum switching capability, as this could damage the vacuum interrupter. This is prevented by selecting the correct fuse. Application examples Contactor-fuse combinations are suitable for operational switching of alternating-current consumers in indoor switchgear. They are used, for example, for the following switching functions: Starting of motors Plugging or reversing the direction of rotation of motors Switching of transformers and reactors Switching of resistive consumers (e.g., electric furnaces) Switching of capacitors and compressors. With these duties, contactor-fuse combinations are used in conveyor and elevator systems, pumping stations, air conditioning systems as well as in systems for reactive power compensation, and can therefore be found in almost every industrial sector.
