Advantage of Vacuum over Salient features of 3AK6


other interrupting media: Vacuum Circuit Breaker
• Highest dielectric strength • Conforms to IEC 62271-
over a small contact gap 100/Latest IS standards
• Constant low contact and is fully type tested
resistance. • Simple and compact
• Fastest recovery design
strength. • Interrupters housed
• Lowest arc energy inside a enclosed
dissipation insulated pole
• Lowest drive energy • Totally restrike free
requirements • Suitable for rapid auto
• Minimum contact erosion reclosing
• No fire hazards or • Highly reliable operation
explosion risks • Long maintenance free Construction
• VCB has least number of life The 3AK6 compact and reliable
moving parts and hence • High switching capability vacuum circuit breakers consist
highest reliability • Fully established for all of three poles incorporating the
applications vacuum interrupters housed in
• Matching drive and insulated shell. These poles are
interrupter characteristics then covered via a insulated
• Best suited for all medium pole cover from behind to make
voltage applications the design completely enclosed.
The moving contacts of the

Switching application connected to the drive
3AK6 VCB is very well mechanism through insulated
suitable for all medium connecting rods. Operating
voltage applications e.g. mechanism is of stored energy
switching of motors, type and suitable for auto
transformers, capacitors, reclosing duty. The operation
cables, overhead lines and can be manual/electrical as
other industrial loads desired.

Maintenance free Environmental compatibility


The 3AK6 vacuum circuit 3AK6 vacuum circuit breakers
breakers are truly are environment friendly with
maintenance free with respect to material selection and
new generation manufacturing methods and
interrupters from have no effect on the
