Vacuum Substation Circuit Breakers15.5 to 38 kV
VDH
VDH Series
Suitable for protection and control of distribution lines, networks and
transformers substations, switching of power transformers, motors and
capacitor banks, industrial main breaker requirements, etc.
Manufactured and tested to meet ANSI C37 and IEC 62271-100
standards.
Wide variety of voltage and current ratings to select the most economical
model for each application.
Metal enclosed, self-supporting and free standing construction, with
weatherproof design suitable for installation in an unprotected
environment.
All exterior parts fabricated from steel sheet with cataphoresis protection
as anticorrosive process which provides longlasting perfomance in
corrosive or contaminated environments.
Roof assembly particularly fabricated in aluminium to prevent eddy
currents around bushings.
Easy installation and accessibility, minimal maintenance and long
service life.
