The AMVAC breaker is a magnetically actuated and latched breaker capable of a high number of operations due to its simplified design. Fully compliant with IEEE Standards C37.04, C37.06 and C37.09, the AMVAC breaker is a great fit for many applications. Features −...
Introduced in 1997, the bi-stable magnetic actuator is used in The on-board capacitors of the AMVAC breaker deliver the many ABB products, including the AMVAC breaker. Due to its current needed for creation of magnetic fields within the mecha- simple design, no maintenance on the actuator is necessary for nism thereby eliminating current draw and voltage drop from the the lifetime of the product.
