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, self-contained overcurrent protection at a low initial cost
Improves customer service and reduces operating costs as they help prevent permanent outages
Uses vacuum as the arc-interrupting medium

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.
