Vacuum Electric Switch Co. has made many switch part improvements to achieve high switch operations.  Many of these improved parts are in stock for immediate delivery including upgraded vacuum interrupter modules for VBM, VBT and VBU ^TM* switches.

They offer on-site switch repair, calibration for zero voltage close and synchronous operation. Testing available includes micro-ohm, hi-pot and dynamic operational timing.  The dynamic timing is done with a portable proprietary control which discharges a precise amount of energy into the switch and measures its' response with an oscilloscope.  This test shows switch operating time, contact synchronization and contact bounce as would occur during actual switch operation.  This test can identify conditions requiring repair which would not otherwise be apparent.

The Vacuum Electric Switch Co. web site at www.VacuumElectricSwitch.com explains the repair services they have offered for ten  years on VBT^TM* switches used by the steel industry.  Steel industry applications are very demanding because they frequently operate at 10,000 to 50,000 times per year.  Experience with high operating rates has made the Vacuum Electric Switch Co. very capable of addressing the problems of frequent switching of utility capacitors.  They are now offering the same services for VBM^TM* switches used by utilities.  The VBT^TM* and VBM^TM* solenoid operated switches have similar operating characteristics and share many common spare parts. 

The new VBM^TM* utility catalog is now available in printed form or PDF.  To request a copy, please call Sales Representative Douglas Corner at 239-451-0070.
