Technical characteristics
HV HRC Fuses 3GD are specially suitable for the short circuit protection of supply system units. Properties: Short circuit currents do not rise to their peak levels By virtue of the very short pre-arcing times ts< 5 ms, even short circuit currents of more than 20 to 25 times the rated current of the fuse are cut off The current limiting effect of HV HRC fuses enables the dimensioning of apparatus with lower short circuit rating (e.g. switching devices, instrument transformers, cabel)
