VCS-3 Description
The Kyle® Type VCS-3 Vacuum Capacitor Switch is
another in the complete line of capacitor switches
from Cooper Power Systems. The VCS-3 is a threephase switch combining the proven NOVATM solid
insulation system with technologically-advanced vacuum interrupters and an efficient magnetic actuator
operating mechanism.
VCS-3 Operation
Reliable operation of the mechanism is assured by
use of a magnetic actuator. Magnetic force provides
faster, more efficient latching action than mechanical
force. Magnetic latching utilizes fewer moving parts,
resulting in less wear on mechanical components and
yields latching force in excess of 136 kilograms (300
pounds), eliminating the need for closing/opening
springs and mechanical latches.
The lightweight VCS-3 switch is SF6 gas-free, oil-free,
and maintenance-free; utilizing Kyle’s environmentally-friendly NOVA solid-insulation system. The
switch is equipped with operating handles for manual close and open abilities, ensuring operational capabilities should control power be lost. And, to further
simplify your VCS-3 application, the power required
to operate the magnetic actuator is substantially less
than solenoid-operated switches — just 25 Watts (150
Watts peak).
Capacitor Bank Switching
The versatile VCS-3 switch is designed for a wide
range of inductive current and capacitive current
switching applications. A variety of options and
accessories makes applying the VCS-3 in your capacitor switching applications easy.
