    Vacuum Interrupters, a manufacturer of replacement vacuum interrupters, pole assemblies, parts, and components for medium-voltage vacuum circuit breakers and contactors, introduces the RVI-167835A00 replacement vacuum interrupter.

    This direct fit-and-function replacement unit meets original equipment ratings and is intended for use in the ABB Advac and VHK-R vacuum circuit breaker. The RVI-167835A00 is built to provide excellent high-voltage insulation, high cumulative and breaking capacity, exclusive internal torsion control, and a reliable vacuum seal thanks to its fine alumina ceramic.

    The replacement vacuum interrupter offers 3000 A RMS-rated current, 15 kV RMS maximum voltage, 95 kV peak impulse withstand, and 50 KA RMS-rated short-circuit breaking current.

    No modification is required for proper installation and operation in the existing electrical equipment. Vacuum Interrupters can also provide assembly components and mounting hardware to aid in installation and shorten downtime.
