Indoor Vacuum Circuit Breaker for
AC Traction Applications
PM100906

With ever increasing pressure on railway operators to improve service quality


and reduce operating costs, an efficient and reliable electrical power network
is a crucial requirement to achieving the performances demanded by today’s
customers.

The Schneider Electric solution
Our proven range of indoor vacuum circuit
breakers has been specially designed to meet
the specific requirements of AC traction power
supply systems. By constantly seeking to improve
our design, we can offer you a highly reliable
solution with minimum installation work and
reduced life-cycle costs.
PM100907

Proven technology
VXA and VXB are indoor circuit breakers, developed for switching applications
on AC traction power supply systems at 17 kV 16.7 Hz or 27,5 kV 50/60 Hz.
These traction circuit breakers can be delivered in single – VXA – or two-pole –
VXB – configurations.
The breakers can be fixed pole-mounted type or mounted on withdrawable
trucks.

VXA and VXB combine our latest range of vacuum interrupters providing unri-
valled performance for reduced size with a well-proven and robust spring drive
mechanism.

To guarantee high reliability, the VX breakers can be configured with a rated


lightning impulse withstand voltage (BIL) up to 250 kV.

Already installed on many national railway networks around the world, VXA and
