LS Vacuum Contactors
We have the major technology that others can not catch up.
LS vacuum contactors provide high withstand-current strength and
switching capacity as well as versatile auxiliary functions.
General description
LS Tri-MEC vacuum contactors are mainly used for the switching of motors,
transformers, capacitors in AC power lines. They can be installed in multi-stack
cubicles.

Power fuse
Power fuse
LS Prime-MEC power fuses are designed to protect equipments from fault current such as
short-circuit, and generally used for the protection the circuits of transformers, capacitors
and motors they protect.
For further safety and reliability the elements inside of fuses are made of silver, and high
quality quartzs and and ceramic are used for magnetic rods and tubes, respectively.
KERI(24kV)
Considerations in application
�Power fuses are suitable for the protection from a short-circuit, Overload current will not
protected.
�Reset or re-use after blowing is not possible. Fuse reset or re-use is not possible after fused
are blown out.
�When the fuses are selected, the inrush currents arising from the starting transformers,
motors, capacitors should be considered.
�When the fuses are selected, their usage and circuit requirements should be considered.
�For the purpose of protection from the fault current below the lowest interrupting current
of the fuse it is desirable to replace it with a fuse having lower interrupting rate or add
other overcurrent relay in series
�Withstand voltage of the circuit should be higher than that of a fuse that protects it.
�If possible, select the fuse whose rated current is much higher than the load current. The
rated current not sufficiently exceeding the normal current of the load may cause
reduction in the service life.
�Replace all three fuses in case of blowing in a fuse.
General considerations
�When the fuses are selected the sufficient rated current should be considered to avoid
the deterioration of the fuse element due to sustained load current in the long term.
�The fuse rated current should be higher than the sum of all load currents.
�The estimated overload current should be within the fuse's time/current characteristics.The
estimated overload current should not exceed the allowable overload withstand currents
of the equipment and the number of its events should not exceed 100 times.
�The characteristic curve of a fuse must lie to the right of those of other equipments to be
protected.
�The withstand strength such as permissible let-through current, I²
t of the equipments to be
protected must be higher than that of a fuse.
�Coordination of permissible time limit
Protection equipments in the line side < Fuses < Protection equipments in the load side
�Coordination when fuses are used as back-up protection
Permissible let-through current of a fuse < That of a protection equipment
�Use the same rating for all three phases even the differential current between phases
exists.
