to approximately 10 seconds. acceptable for the corresponding operating device.
This reduced discharge time: These are necessary in the following situations:
- Provides safety for staff when carrying out work - Step capacitor banks
- Reduces waiting time before earthing (closing of the - Very high mains short-circuit power in relation to the
earthing switch) power of the capacitor bank to be connected
- Makes it possible to reactivate the capacitor banks - Frequent control operations of the capacitor bank
in steps more quickly after breaking, although a
minimum time of 30 minutes between two discharges
is essential, to ensure correct cooling of the reactors.
