Current test methods rely on a periodic inspection to identify the vacuum integrity of the interrupter—at that moment in time. By monitoring vacuum levels continuously, a loss of vacuum can be immediately identified and corrective actions implemented. With this information at hand, operating and maintenance personnel have a reliable method to know the condition of the vacuum level at any given moment, saving time and possible equipment damage.

VacStat™ is the only online vacuum loss detection technology that provides real-time monitoring of vacuum integrity while switchgear is energized and in service. Much like an oil pressure light on a car, you will know when you have a problem.

Features

• Detects vacuum loss in real time
• Disables the switch from its next operation (optional)
• Informs operators or maintenance personnel of the vacuum condition

Benefits

• Know when a catastrophic failure could occur
• Protect your critical assets and customers
• Proactively implement alternative corrective measures
