Description:
VD4-CS is the unique solution based on new vacuum interrupter technology and an innovative actuation systems up to 38kV, 1250A, 31.5kA and with superior noise-free performances, to support your business needs in reactive power compensation.Noise-free power quality by safe and reliable switching and protection of capacitor banks.
Key benefits:
Inrush elimination thanks to high accuracy in controlled switching technology.
Up to 5-times higher performance than the market standard with 10,000 maintenance-, inrush- and restrike-free operations.
Enables elimination of inrush limiting reactors and resistances, leading to significant cost and space savings.
Cost saving by as much as 20%, using same ratings, same interfaces of existing MV substation thanks to optimized footprint equivalent to standard distribution breakers.
Reduced total cost of capacitor bank operation due to elimination of downtime for breaker overhaul and a lifespan 5 times the market standard, with predictive health indication.
Fast and reliable support thanks to ABB’s global footprint.
Assets optimization having both circuit-breaker and capacitive switching devices in one single solution.
Enables increased lifespan of capacitors by more than 10% in e.g. 3 years.
Key features:
Embedded advanced diagnostics.
Up to 38 kV, 1250A, 31.5 kA.
10,000 maintenance-free and noise-free operations.
The CB comprises of:
Three poles in epoxy resin containing the vacuum interrupter.
Three brushless servomotors, one per phase with double encoder.
Three electronic controllers, one per phase, communicating hierarchically with each otherand with the first unit controls the entire system.
An electronic supply unit.
A capacitor for storing the energy required to operate the CB in the absence of auxiliary supply.
Three sensors and three mechanical position indicators.
