Masterclad™ Medium Voltage Metalclad Switchgear (UL Listed)

The Reliability of a Quality Design

Listed Metalclad
Switchgear


Two-high Masterclad 5–27 kV
Indoor, Metalclad Switchgear

Masterclad™ offers a customizable solution for demanding medium voltage applications. Rugged construction is coupled with low maintenance 3-cycle vacuum circuit breaker.

A comprehensive design testing program has been performed by Schneider Electric. The switchgear and breakers are designed and tested in accordance with all applicable ANSI Standards C37.04, C37.06, C37.09, and C37.20.2. The switchgear and breakers meet the requirements of ANSI, IEEE, NEMA, and exceeds most IEC standards.

Type VR Vacuum Circuit Breaker

Vacuum VR Circuit Breaker
for Masterclad Switchgear

The VR breaker is a horizontal drawout type designed to provide long life, reduced maintenance, and ease of handling. The Type RI advanced design motor-charged stored energy mechanism is a model of reliability with simplicity-with an operating life exceeding ANSI requirements. The VR circuit breaker is UL labeled and includes a permanently mounted manual charging handle.

Standard features include:

  • 3-cycle interrupting rating

  • Rated per ANSI/IEEE C37.06, C37.09, C37.013, C37.54

  • UL Listed

  • Motor operated, spring-charged, stored-energy operating mechanism

  • Permanently mounted manual charging handle

  • Five normally open and normally closed auxiliary contacts

  • Wheels that roll directly to floor level from lower cell
