VisoVac padmount switchgear

Eaton’s padmount VisoVac three-phase medium-voltage switchgear utilizes Eaton’s proven vacuum fault interruption technology and is available with visible isolation and visible grounding capability. The VFI, isolation and grounding positions are internally interlocked so proper sequence operation is ensured. The VFI mechanism is equipped with a spring charge motor that allows for seamless remote operation without the need for external motor operators.

Leverages Eaton breaker technology

Unlike other padmount switchgear, the VisoVac switchgear utilizes vacuum fault interrupter technology and leverages proven Eaton breaker technology. Tested to IEEE Std C37.04 and C37.09 standards and IEEE C37.74 standard provides a robust interrupter for padmount switching applications.

Meets all underground switching needs

Eaton's VisoVac compact switchgear is ideal for padmount switching applications as well as primary network isolation or distribution sectionalizing in single or multi-way configurations. The VisoVac compact switchgear can be configured to order, customized to meet any switching needs.

Value-added accessories

VisoVac switchgear is compatible with other Eaton value-added accessories such as Digitrip, remote access device, VaultGard communication platform, NPServe and other communications options.
