the new vacuum circuit-
breaker for the medium
voltage range.
We started with the idea to build a compact and multifunctional vacu-
um circuit-breaker: One that could be integrated quickly and easily into
any switchgear panel to provide a superior solution for all switching
functions in medium voltage networks. It would include everything
required for long lasting operating and switching under short-circuit
conditions.

for the first time to design an air-insulated vacuum
circuit-breaker with a lower depth and narrower
