Dry Air Insulated Dead Tank Vacuum Circuit Breaker
Available in 38, 72.5 and 145kV
Meiden’s dead tank vacuum circuit breakers (VCB) are engineered with the climate in mind; dry air is the insulating medium, eliminating the need for potent SF₆ or other greenhouse gases.
Product Features
Meiden’s dead tank vacuum circuit breakers are the optimal switching equipment for the green grid. These breakers utilize dry air as an insulating medium in place of SF₆ which is a potent greenhouse gas. Sustainably designed and emissions-free, these high-performance VCBs are capable of approximately five times more mechanical operations and four times more interruptions of rated breaking current than standard gas-insulated circuit breakers.
With the founding of Meiden America Switchgear (MAS) in Greenville, South Carolina, Meiden’s DT VCB products will now be assembled in the United States!
