June 10, 2019

A collaboration between Vizimax and Tavrida Electric, a Swiss-based company, has recently led to the release the world's first, compact SF6-free, single-pole operated 24 kV metal-clad switchgear with advanced, synchronous and transient-free switching control. This new solution will achieve near-zero inrush currents and reduce voltage dips when energizing power transformers, while eliminating destructive transients when switching MV capacitors, harmonic filters, reactors. The independent pole operated 24 kV metal-clad switchgear circuit breaker provides solution for CAPEX limitation, transient mitigation and asset preservation aimed at power utilities, renewables, mining, steelmaking, railway and electro-intensive industries.
