RVR retrofit VCB
The replacement of older and obsolete MV switchgear with complete fixed pattern switchboards is a time consuming and costly process, an option that is not viable for many. To prolong the reliable service life of your existing equipment with minimal disruption to your production / operational schedule, Slaters Electricals have introduced the “RVR” range, a modular pre-engineered ‘roll out’ ‘roll in’ retrofit vacuum circuit breaker replacing your existing oil or SF6 and vacuum insulated moving portion with the latest retrofit vacuum circuit breaker technology.
The “RVR” retrofit circuit breaker has been designed utilising the vast experience of our organisation in the field of Medium Voltage switchgear and is fully ‘type tested’ and approved by ASTA, BEAB and KEMA laboratories. All type testing has being carried out with the “RVR” circuit breaker located within each OEM’s fixed cubicle.
