Pioneering zeal of Energypac Power created the first indigenously made outdoor porcelain clad vacuum circuit breaker in the country. With further innovative skills, Energypac made the circuit breaker to meet highly demanding needs for performance from all sections of people like Consultants, Contractors, and Industries & Utilities. Special feature of our outdoor vacuum circuit breakers include:

Each phase of the three phases circuit breaker is self contained in a porcelain bushing, which houses the Vacuum interrupter. This porcelain bushing is supported by another porcelain bushing which contains the drive and for the interrupter. OFVp-36 employs rated vacuum interrupters as an arc extinguishing medium. These interrupters are procured from the most renowned and best quality manufacturers of the world. Mechanism is designed for operation of very short stroke required in vacuum interrupter and is normally charged by motor but as a standby manual charging facility is also provided for the operation in case of necessity. The mechanism cabinet comprises of sheet steel enclosure, which conforms to IP 54 standards and is bolted directly with the circuit breaker supporting steelwork.

The closing mechanism includes the following indications:

The cabinet is also equipped with following features, wherever required.

The special features OFVp range provides customers are :

Current transformers and Potential transformers suitable for outdoor application can be provided for mounting on cantilever type support structure as package wherever required. Indoor or Outdoor type Control and Relay panels houses the meter, relays, switches etc suitable for structure mounting on to the VCB structure or for separate plinth mounting can be provided along with the Vacuum Circuit Breaker.

In addition to transformer and feeder switching where outdoor vacuum circuit breakers are widely used, OFVp-36 is capable of switching circuits for following applications. The circuit breaker is ideally suitable for capacitor switching up to 5 MVAR rating. OFVp-36 type Outdoor Vacuum Circuit Breaker is suitable for switching of arc furnace transformers up to 50 operations per day.
