We Are Participating in NETA's
In person event is February 28 through March 4 in Denver, Colorado. The virtual component of the conference, PowerTest TV, will launch February 28 and remain available to attendees for 90 days. Our hands-on workshop "Vacuum Interrupter Test and Conditioning", which is being held Wednesday, March 2 at 1:15, is about a process to extend the life of vacuum interrupters. Our goal is to keep vacuum interrupters in service for more than 100 years. <Use the following link to a page where you can view information about Vacuum Interrupter Conditioning. Also, following the 2022 workshop, you can view the workshop's supporting PowerPoint presentation Vacuum Interrupter Test and Conditioning.

Replacement Vacuum Interrupter Pole Assemblies
Compatible With Power/Vac® Circuit Breakers
Utilizing Encapsulated/Embedded Vacuum Interrupters
Vacuum Interrupters, Inc. is pleased to announce the development and availability of replacement vacuum interrupter pole assemblies compatible with older Power/Vac® circuit breakers using encapsulated - embedded vacuum interrupters. By embedding the vacuum interrupter in epoxy, the assembly is substantially tougher and better suited to withstand impact, moisture, dust, and other environmental contaminates. ANSI/IEEE C37.09 tested and certified for use on compatible circuit breakers, our hardened, superior assembly will enable the user to upgrade and extend the life of original equipment; and, if combined with proper mechanical maintenance of the breaker, extend the life of that equipment another twenty-plus years. They are available now in selected ratings and others will be available in the near future.
