72.5 kV switch attachment Vacuum interrupters

An economic solution in a
smaller footprint

Eaton vacuum interrupters (VIs) are used in load break
switches to connect and disconnect electrical load currents
providing limited load switch capacity. As a global leader of
the power switching industry, Eaton developed a 72.5 kV
vacuum interrupter for use in a vacuum switch attachment
for high voltage air disconnect switches. In this application,
the vacuum interrupter is only used to break current while
providing a lower cost and a smaller footprint alternative
to stacking vacuum interrupters in series.
