The VEP indoor solid-embedded vacuum circuit breaker is the world’s first full-range solid-embedded vacuum circuit breaker developed by Xiamen Huadian Switchgear Co., Ltd., covering voltage ratings of 12kV, 24kV and 40.5kV.
Featuring high-performance, low-resistance vacuum interrupters, the VEP vacuum circuit breaker achieves fully solid-embedded insulation after epoxy resin casting, and is completely maintenance-free over its service life.
