Monoruptr® Vacuum Interrupters
Type: VM
Voltage: 46 – 230 KV
Maximum Interrupting Current: 3000 Ampere
Number of Vacuum Bottles: 2 – 8
Description
A multi bottle vacuum interruption device for use with vertical break switches. Provides full load or reduced voltage interruption capabilities.
Application
Common applications for multi bottle interrupters include:
- Load dropping
- Line dropping
- Loop splitting (parallel break)
Monoruptr® vacuum interrupters are not designed or rated for fault duty. Please contact the factory for confirmation of the appropriate interrupter configuration for your specific requirements.
Features & Benefits
- Provides arc-less switching
- Supports load management, remote switching and automatic sectionalizing schemes
- Full load interrupters provide convenience, flexibility and clarity in switching; reduces confusion about switching “rules” under various operating conditions
- Interrupter units are out of the main current path when not in operation and are not subject to fault currents
- Proven vacuum bottle technology with an established history of successful field service
- Environmentally friendly – dielectric medium is a silicon oil; no special handling or disposal procedures required
- Safety – no SF6 that can produce hazardous byproducts, when exposed to an arc
- Quick, simple field installation
