    With ever increasing pressure on railway operators to improve service quality


    and reduce operating costs, an efficient and reliable electrical power network
    is a crucial requirement to achieving the performances demanded by today’s
    customers.

    PM100908
    The Schneider Electric solution
    Our proven range of indoor vacuum circuit
    breakers has been specially designed to meet
    the specific requirements of AC traction power
    supply systems. By constantly seeking to improve
    our design, we can offer you a highly reliable
    solution with minimum installation work and
    reduced life-cycle costs.
    PM100907

    Proven technology
    VXA and VXB are indoor circuit breakers, developed for switching applications
    on AC traction power supply systems at 17 kV 16.7 Hz or 27,5 kV 50/60 Hz.
    These traction circuit breakers can be delivered in single – VXA – or two-pole –
    VXB – configurations.
    The breakers can be fixed pole-mounted type or mounted on withdrawable
    trucks.

    VXA and VXB combine our latest range of vacuum interrupters providing unri-
    valled performance for reduced size with a well-proven and robust spring drive
    mechanism.

    To guarantee high reliability, the VX breakers can be configured with a rated


    lightning impulse withstand voltage (BIL) up to 250 kV.

    Already installed on many national railway networks around the world, VXA and
    CUSTOMER BENEFITS
    VXB meet the requirements of IEC and EN standards, as well as many country
    specifications.
    • Proven experience
    • Cost-effective solution
    • Extremely robust construction
    • Compact design
    • Flexible integration into switchboards
    • High number of mechanical and
