Modular Vac-Rupter Interrupter

Modular Vac-Rupter Interrupter

The Joslyn Modular Vac-RupterÒ Interrupter (MVI) is installed on a disconnect switch to provide load switching, line dropping or parallel switching capability through 230kV capability. The extremely high rate of dielectric recovery of vacuum interrupters enables restrike-free switching of loads of any power factor.

Applications include high voltage transmission line switching, capacitor bank switching, shunt reactor bank switching, and cable switching. Switches equipped with MVIs can provide a high degree of pole-to-pole synchronization.

MVIs are supplied complete with all mounting hardware for installation on most vertical break disconnect switches of any manufacturer. They re often supplied with Joslyn RF-2 vertical break switches as complete load interrupter switch packages.

Maintenance-Free
  Long life of 5,000 operations, no oil or SF-6 gas.
Ease of Installation
  Lightweight modules complete with mounting hardware allow quick and easy installation.
Flexible Application
  Adaptable to most vertical or horizontal mounting and is applicable to loads of any power factor .
Proven Performance
  Installations of more than 35 years demonstrate the reliability and proven performance of the interrupter.
Air Switch Ratings Unaffected
  The continuous, momentary, and impulse ratings of the switch are unaffected since the MVI is in the power circuit only for a few seconds.
