VerSaVac(TM) II LE Pole Top Capacitor Switch
The new VerSaVac II LE capacitor switch is now available from Joslyn Hi-Voltage of Cleveland, Ohio.
The VerSaVac has been improved to require 20% less operating voltage than previous models. This maintenance-free switch has a long life solenoid operating mechanism that provides 100,000 operations (50,000 open/close) and operates as low as 80VAC. No oil or gas is used for interruption or insulation, eliminating costly maintenance.
The VerSaVac II LE can be used to replace existing oil switches or used with new capacitor banks. Installation is easy since the switch is compatible with existing power supply and wiring.
The VerSaVac II LE can be used in conjunction with the Joslyn Zero Voltage Closing Control which mitigates transients associated with bringing capacitor banks online. The ZVC control
eliminates costly customer equipment damage and downtime resulting from voltage spikes.
