Pioneers of Vacuum Interrupter technology

Environmental regulations and constraints are becoming increasingly
stringent. Vacuum technology is the perfect answer by investing in
electrical equipment with a minimal environmental impact.
More than 70 years ago, Schneider Electric started to explore
the feasibility of interruption by vacuum. Schneider Electric
was among the earliest trend setters when vacuum switching
technology became industrially viable in the 1950’s.
A complete range of high performance interrupters

Moving contact Moving end plate Schneider Electric’s vacuum interrupter product range is the result

The range includes dedicated and optimized interrupter models

Chopping for the different ratings and both for insulation in air and other
current insulating media.
Applications
Vacuum contactors are mainly used in MV switchboards for high
requirement applications such as motor starting applications, and
applications in the Industrial, Mine & Metal or Oil & Gas sectors.
Industries, Mine & Metal or Oil & Gas. They can be used in more
specific activities such as public lighting or power factor correction.

Fuse selection
The table in below contains a summary of the requirements of the
different types of fuse according to the type of load:
Type of load Tranformer Motor Capacitors

Single bank Multiple step banks
Ordre of magnitude 4 to 100 A 100 to 250 A 100 to 250 A
of fuse rating
Selection rules IA < IN transf. < IB Fixed by IP and tD IN bank x 1.7 < IN fuse
IN motor x 1.2 Insc fixed by î. t
Ip No specification Low High

t ≈ 1 ms
I fusing 0.1 s High No specification High (t ≈ 0.1 s) No specification
I fusing 10 s Low for close-up protection High Low for close-up protection
I3 No specification
UN 0 to 36 kV 0 to 12 kV 0 to 36 kV
These specifications can be used to plot the ideal time/current characteristic

for a fuse according to its use (refer to the diagram in below). This diagram
clearly shows the requirement parameters for each type of protected load.
It also clearly illustrates the relative insignificance of the IN value of a fuse
when it is taken alone as a selection criterion (as is unfortunately too often
the case).
Ideal time/current characteristics for protecting:
a) a transformer. b) a motor. c) a capacitor.
