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.

Rated voltage
38 kV
Rated current
400 / 800 / 1200 A
Short-circuit rating
25 kA / 31.5 kA
Switching duty
Capacitor bank / back-to-back switching
Restrike performance
Class C2 (IEC 62271-100 Annex A)
Operating mechanism
Permanent-magnet actuator (PMA)
Configuration
Single-phase or three-phase double-break
