UltraVacLT
15kV Vacuum Capacitor Switch
UltraVacLT 15kV vacuum capacitor switch
Capacitor switching applications often have demanding
electrical and ambient operating requirements. Whether for
indoor or outdoor applications, each installation has unique
challenges. In the tradition of our time-proven UltraVac
series of switches, the UltraVacLT 15kV capacitor switch is
designed to meet these additional requirements while
providing best-in-class performance.
Flexible for retrofit applications:
UltraVacLT is the smallest, most lightweight, capacitor
switch in the fleet, and the single solenoid operator only
requires 6A for proper operation. These minimal
requirements make this switch an easy choice when
performing field replacements of legacy solenoid switches,
as well as field replacements of most legacy motor
operated switches.
Flexible for confined space applications:
The UltraVacLT design is ideal for pad bank or other
applications where space is limited. The mounting bracket
is 290° adjustable to fit site requirements, and is limited
only by the position relative to the operating handle.
Additionally, the mechanism is designed either for vertical
or horizontal mounting as is often required when space
is at a premium in pad-mounted and metal-enclosed
capacitor banks.
Flexible for coastal and high contamination applications:
The UltraVacLT 15kV capacitor switch body is primarily a
one piece non-metal composite body. The only exposed
metal components are the mounting bracket, the manual
handle, the cover plate, the nameplate, and the terminals.
This design provides an easy upgrade path when
configuring the switch for coastal environments during
assembly prior to shipment.
