ABB offers its new vacuum circuit breaker with servomotor actuation and controlled switching technology up to 38kV, 2500A, 31.5kA and up to 150,000 operations with extremely low inrush, to support your business needs in transformer switching.
Key benefits
Up to 5-to-10-times higher endurance performance than the market standard, including predictive health indication
Elimination of inrush limiting reactors and resistances, leading to significant cost and space savings
Cost saving by as much as 20%, using same ratings, same interfaces of existing MV substation thanks to optimized footprint equivalent to standard distribution breakers
Reduced total cost due to elimination of process downtime for breaker overhaul
Fast and reliable support thanks to ABB’s global availability
Assets optimization having both circuit-breaker and transformer switching devices in one single solution
Enables increased lifespan of transformers by more than 10% in e.g. 3 years
Overall reduction of hazards due to improved protection set-up, specifically increasing accuracy during switching operation
Eliminated compensation losses up to 10% while increasing power quality
Key features
Embedded advanced diagnostics
Up to 38 kV, 2500, 31.5 kA
150,000 maintenance-free and noise-free operations
