Voltage Vacuum
Circuit Breakers
Up to 15 kV
Up to 25 kA
Small Without Compromise
Introducing the VCP-T drawout medium voltage circuit
breaker and cassette. Designed for use where space is at
a premium, VCP-T is ideal for applications such as power
houses, shipboard use, engine generators, restricted
access locations, and low profile areas.
● 60% smaller than comparable breakers
● 50% lighter than comparable breakers
● One compact footprint through 15 kV
● Reduction of installed space
● Reduced material and shipping costs
● Reduced installation space and weight
● Installation / startup time savings
● 3-cycle (50 ms) interrupting time
● Mechanical endurance up to 20,000 operations
Value Added Flexibility
The VCP-T design offers unmatched flexibility, even after
installation. VCP-T simplifies design, installation and use.
