Vacuum circuit breaker VS1-12

Automatic vacuum circuit breaker with spring-motor operating mechanism VS1-12 is designed for switching AC three-phase current with a frequency of 50 Hz with an isolated or earthed through an arc-suppression reactor neutral with a rated voltage of up to 12 kV.

The VS1-12 circuit breaker is used to control and protect electrical equipment at industrial enterprises, distribution and transformer substations. It is available in fixed (for KSO cubicles) or draw-out (for switchgear panels, LV switchgear) versions, featuring high electrical endurance and increased mechanism reliability.
