EMPOWERING THE FUTURE

MVO Vacuum
Contactor
MVO contactors encapsulating vacuum interrupters are
suited for heavy duty applications like crane & hoist,
mining etc. The contactors, available from 400A to 820A
AC-3 in line with MO contactors having faster switching
capabilities and higher reliability in dusty environment.

Why Vacuum Contactor?
Vacuum as a medium has better di-electric strength, which makes electrical arc quenching easier than the same
in air. Vacuum interrupters make the main contact system of a vacuum contactor. These encapsulated contacts
prevent any arc from coming out of the interrupter and it also prevents entry of foreign particles inside the
contacts. This makes the vacuum contactor a viable solution in harsh environmental conditions like mining and
steel plants.

In vacuum contactor, the arc gets quenched at first zero crossing without a restrike. The duration of the arc is very
short. This gives minimal wear and tear to the contacts and the electrical life of the contactor is much higher as Potted Coil Drive
compared to conventional air brake contactor. • Vibration & shock resistance • Available with universal AC/DC
