VMC24-20~32, 24 kV

VMC24
The VMC24 is a metal-clad vacuum switchgear using the VECTOR24 VCB.Essentially of the same design as the VMC12 and VMC18, the VMC24 has larger clearance distances, with phase-center distances of 230mm on the VCB, the external dimensions of each module are 800mm X 1650mm X 2200mm (WXDXH). Used on 24 kV installations, the VMC24 is also used on 17.5 kV installations requiring insulation levels of 125 kV BIL or more.
