MEDIUM VOLTAGE VACUUM CIRCUIT BREAKERS

Vacuum compact circuit breaker series VK is third generation of medium voltage vacuum circuit breakers manufactured in KONCAR - MEDIUM VOLTAGE APPARATUS, Inc. Vacuum compact circuit breakers have been designed to meet requirements of domestic electric distribution networks, and also fit well in industrial switchgear. The design of these series complies with current world trends in medium voltage apparatus design and development.

Vacuum circuit breakers series VK are based upon latest generation of vacuum interrupters, distinguished by minimal dimensions and masses. Product range of series VK covers rated voltages up to 38 kV, rated breaking/making capacities up to 40/100 kA and rated currents up to 3150. Circuit breakers are designed as three-pole units, with vacuum interrupters built into insulating cylinders.

The complete line of circuit breakers is designed and type tested in accordance with IEC Norms (Pulication 62271-100).
