WHAT IS ASUBSTATIONS VACUUM CIRCUIT BREAKER MODULE

The VX type of circuit breaker series is designed for all standard applications in the medium voltage range. The compact VX type vacuum circuit breakers can be easily integrated not only into all types of switchgears, but also retrofitted into existing switchgears. They are produced for long life time operation and switching under short circuit conditions. VX circuit breakers can be installed in all type of air insulated medium voltage switchgear assemblies. The compact design, especially the small depth and width, are the key advantages of the product. The VX type of circuit breaker frame is made of premium class "marine" grade stainless steel to avoid corrosion and related problems
