      Product Details
     
Autometers Alliance Ltd offers technologically sophisticated and advanced Vacuum Circuit Breaker(VCBA Type) built in accordance with IEC 60077.
       
      Salient Features
     
  • Single pole AC circuit breaker
  • Equipped with vacuum interrupter 
  • Pneumatic closing and holding with opening through spring induced force 
  • Earthing switch can be engaged directly on breaker. 
  • Constructed for roof mounting 
  • Requires less space for installation 
  • Requires minimum maintenance 
  • Provides protection against fault currents 
  • Isolates the traction vehicle from the overhead catenary wire

Applications

The VCBA  type circuit breaker is used as a line circuit breaker: 

  • To close and open the power circuit of the vehicle from the overhead catenary
  • To interrupt the power circuit current under overload, short circuit or any other defined conditions
