VCP-W Medium Voltage Circuit Breakers

The industry’s most complete family of technologically advanced vacuum circuit breakers at 5, 15, 27, and 38 kV. VCP-W Medium Voltage Circuit Breakers provide versatility in a Drawout or Fixed configuration and incorporate design features which have been proven in the field for over 25 years. Features - Premium control wires and terminals provide reliable control and protection for electrical equipment and circuits, and are capable of being operated manually under full load conditions.

Features
• Premium control wires and terminals provide reliable control and protection for electrical equipment and circuits, and are capable of being operated manually under full load conditions.
• Represents a common line that utilizes common parts. Standardarization provides for fewer total parts which, in turn, reduces and simplifies spare parts inventory.
• Front accessible mechanism allows for easy access to the mechanism and user friendly control components.
• Provides higher insulation levels in less space, thus reducing the overall switchgear size.
• Eaton's patented V-FLEX System features fewer moving parts which allows for vacuum stem movement without friction and without the wear normally associated with rolling/sliding designs.
• Unlike sliding or rolling designs, there are no moving parts to wear out, requiring no maintenance and resulting in longer circuit breaker life.
• Spiral contact design provides a self-induced magnetic effect that moves the arc root around the contact periphery. This efficient arc control prevents hot spots and minimizes contact erosion.
• Double dead front shields isolate the operator from high voltage when the breaker is energized, providing optimum operator safety.
• Mechanically and electrically trip-free stored energy mechanism design ensures that while holding a mechanical trip command, breaker contacts will not close or touch even if an electrical or mechanical close command is received. Closing springs will discharge automatically when the breaker is withdrawn from or inserted into it's compartment, for added user safety.
