Capacitor Switching Equipment
WaveGuard™ — vacuum switching equipment rated specifically for the inrush and restrike demands of capacitor bank duty.
WaveGuard™
IEC 62271-100 (C2 duty)
IEEE C37.66
IEEE C37.04 & C37.09
Switching a capacitor bank is a materially different duty from standard load switching — sharp inrush currents and real restrike risk. Our WaveGuard™ capacitor switching equipment is engineered and rated specifically for this duty, not a standard breaker repurposed for it.
