The next generation in ANSI medium voltage vacuum circuit breaker technology.

The AMVAC is the next generation of ANSI medium voltage vacuum circuit breaker, 

utilizing magnetic actuation technology to provide a more reliable and longer lasting solution to the industry. 

This is made possible by the simplicity of the magnetic actuator design features such as one moving part and built-in safety features.

Benefits

•Requires the least maintenance of all medium voltage vacuum circuit breaker designs on the market today

•High number of operations between breaker servicing

•Increases safety by reducing personnel time in front of switchgear lineups

Features

– Comprehensive safety features

The Emax 2 Harness dual power conversion system is designed for ‘two inlets and one busbar’ power supply lines.

Using ABB’s latest third-generation circuit-breaker power conversion solution, the Emax 2 Harness eliminates the need for a traditional external stand-alone controller.

Emax 2 Harness can be directly through the intelligent off-trigger embedded logic to achieve efficient cooperation between the circuit breaker control, while supporting a variety of control modes, wiring, and so on.

The Emax 2 Harness supports multiple control modes, simple wiring, high reliability, shorter changeover times and intuitive control.

Emax 2 Harness is a high-performance automated power conversion system on the Emax 2 Ekip intelligent protective circuit breakers.

It provides safer and more reliable power switching without the need for additional control equipment, whilst providing circuit protection.

In industrial and power applications where efficiency and performance are delivered through digital communications, ABB is reinventing the way digital systems are embedded to help users achieve more efficient, safe and reliable power conversion.
