Capacitor Switches

Capacitor Switches

The CSD oil switches are single-phase, motor-operated capacitor switches designed for 15kV and 25kV, and also for 35kV grounded wye distribution applications.
The VS Series vacuum switches uniquely combines the extended maintenance-free life cycle benefits of a vacuum interrupter with the economical advantages of oil insulation. The switch is designed to perform in excess of 30,000 operations and should last over 30 years under normal operating conditions with appropriate maintenance.
The UltraVac family of vacuum capacitor switches is “UltraFlexible” and is designed to fit a wide variety of capacitor switching applications. The long life vacuum interrupter combined with solid-dielectric insulation means many years of maintenance free switching. The UltraVac is designed for 110kV, 125kV, and 150kV BIL applications with a current rating of 200A; 400A rating options are also available.
(PATENT PENDING) Capacitor switching applications often have demanding electrical and ambient operating requirements. Whether for indoor or outdoor applications, each installation has unique challenges. In the tradition of our time-proven UltraVac series of switches, the UltraVacLT 15kV capacitor switch is designed to meet these additional requirements while providing best-in-class performance. UltraVacLT conforms to ANSI C37.66 and IEC 815 Class IV (for heavy pollution).
The UltraSync family of vacuum capacitor switches is “UltraFlexible” and ideal for switching capacitor banks in multi-stage capacitor bank, back-to-back capacitor bank, large banks, or other sensitive system applications where conventional capacitor bank switching causes disruptive disturbances to existing customers or processes.
(PATENT PENDING) Trinetics® synchronous vacuum capacitor switches bring new focus to the synchronous close and zero voltage close capacitor bank-switching applications. Commissioning time, complexity and cost have been greatly reduced, while the precision and reliability of close on wave form switching has been substantially improved. Automatic self-calibration and durable, restrike-free, maintenance-free switching are just a few of the benefits gained by adding Trinetics® SmartClose synchronous vacuum switches to your capacitor bank applications.
