Vacuum Interrupters Unveils RVI-WL-23338 Replacement Vacuum Interrupter
Vacuum Interrupters, a prominent player in the manufacturing of replacement vacuum interrupters and components for medium-voltage systems, has just announced the launch of its latest replacement vacuum interrupter, the
RVI-WL-23338, specifically designed for the
Westinghouse R-4 vacuum circuit breakers. This new addition to their product line promises to deliver outstanding performance and reliability.
Specifications and Features
The RVI-WL-23338 is engineered as a direct fit-and-function replacement for the original Westinghouse WL-23338 vacuum interrupters. It meets or exceeds the original equipment ratings, providing users with confidence in their circuit protection systems. Some of the impressive specifications and features include:
- - 2000 A RMS-rated current
- - 15.5 kV RMS maximum voltage
- - 110 kV peak impulse withstand capability
- - 25 kA short-circuit breaking current
Innovative Design
This replacement unit is built with
Cu-Cr contacts, which are known for delivering exceptional high-voltage insulation and breaking performance. The vacuum interrupter also employs fine alumina ceramic construction, ensuring superior vacuum seal integrity crucial to its functionality. Additionally, exclusive internal torsion control provides reliable operation over time, minimizing maintenance needs.
Rigorous Testing Protocols
To ensure the utmost reliability and durability, every RVI-WL-23338 unit undergoes stringent testing protocols. Not only does the product meet the highest industry standards, which include impulse testing and AC withstand testing according to
ANSI C37 standards, but it also showcases high cumulative and breaking capacity performance. This rigorous examination assures customers that they are purchasing a product they can depend on for enhanced circuit safety and efficiency.
MAC Testing Innovation
Vacuum Interrupters employs the
MAC-TS4 vacuum interrupter test set, which utilizes patented magnetron atmospheric condition (MAC) testing. This method assesses vacuum interrupters not just for pass or fail criteria, but it also gathers trendable lifecycle data for each unit. This innovative approach helps identify maintenance timelines proactively, thereby preventing unnecessary downtime and damage, and ensuring optimal performance of vacuum circuit breakers and contactors.
