Operating behaviour
of the FCL
• ultrafast
reacts in 1-2 milliseconds
• automatic
no external trigger necessary,
self-recovering
• wear-free
service only for cooling

High Short Circuit Currents
high mechanical and thermal forces
No “fuses” on the MV power distribution level
equipment and grid must be short-circuit proof
high investment for equipment “oversizing”
