Introducing the VacStat(TM) Vacuum Interrupter Monitor
Now Available in VBM Capacitor Switches. The only Online vacuum interrupter monitor on the market.
The new VacStat(TM) vacuum interrupter monitor is a breakthrough in vacuum switching technology. Vacstat provides real-time monitoring of vacuum interrupters. If a loss of vacuum is detected it blocks operation of the switch, provides local indication and actuates a relay contact that can be monitored remotely. This exciting new technology is now available in our VBM capacitor switches. Maintenance and operating costs are reduced because offline routine inspections can be eliminated. The indicator tells the operator if there is a problem and the switch will not operate.
FEATURES:
o Continuously monitors the vacuum interrupters
o Blocks electrical operation if problem is detected
o Local and remote indication of interrupter status
BENEFITS:
o Eliminates off-line routine vacuum interrupter inspection
o Increased reliability
