Overview

The VS1-12 indoor fixed HV vacuum breaker (three-phase 50 Hz, 12 kV) controls and protects electrical facilities in industry, power plants and substations, and suits frequent-operation duty. The operating mechanism is integrated with the breaker body as a fixed unit; the main circuit can adopt integral solid-sealed poles for miniaturisation, high reliability and maintenance-free service, mating with XGN-series fixed switchgear.
