Capacitor Switches - VerSavac single and three phase vacuum switches

The VerSaVacä (VSV) is a long life vacuum switch used for pole top capacitor switching. The VSV was specifically designed to replace oil switches to eliminate costly maintenance.

The VSV can be used as a direct replacement on existing banks or supplied by manufacturers on new banks. Joslyn's unique design incorporates Joslyteä , the field proven solid dielectric foam that has been successfully used over 35 years.

	Long Life
	50,000 maintenance-free operations.
	No Oil or Gas
	35 years field-proven Joslyteä solid dielectric insulation.
	Solenoid Operating Mechanism
	Simple design with fewer moving parts compared to motor operator.
	Visible Position Indicator
	Red and green reflectant colors can be seen from the ground.
	Proven Design
	Vacuum interrupter encapsulated to Joslyteä foam inside a porcelain housing eliminates concerns with thermal expansion and housing cracking.
	Synchronized Operation
	All phases operate within a 1/4 cycle.
	Zero Voltage Closing Compatible
	Can be applied with with Joslyn's Zero Voltage Closing Control to eliminate transients.
