Reclosers

V4H, V4E, V4L single-phase reclosers

Eaton's Cooper Power series V4H, V4E and V4L single-phase, hydraulically controlled reclosers provide reliable, self-contained overcurrent protection. Additionally, they’re offered at low initial cost and require minimal service.

Minimum 15 year routine maintenance
Cost-effective solution
Vacuum interruption
Long life, minimal maintenance
Hydraulic control
Reduce operation and installation costs

Core features

  • Economic V4H and V4L reclosers are rated for operation on 14.4 kV three-phase systems
  • Premium V4E reclosers rated for operation on 24.9 kV three-phase systems
  • Provides reliable, overcurrent protection at a low initial cost; no external power or battery source is required
  • Improves customer service and reduces operating costs as they help prevent permanent outages
  • Uses vacuum as the arc-interrupting medium
  • Enhanced safety with grounded tank

Simplified operation and reduced installation costs

Eaton's Cooper Power series types V4H, V4E and V4L single-phase reclosers are hydraulically controlled. No external power or battery source is required.

Simplified coordination with other protective devices

Eaton's Cooper Power series types V4H, V4E and V4L reclosers offer a choice of dual time-current characteristics. Current-carrying and interrupting capacities vary with the operating coil’s rating, which is selected to meet circuit requirements.
