Reliability, safety and performance in a compact package
SecoVac 3.3kV-27kV Vacuum Circuit Breakers Provide:
Leading vacuum and
insulation technology
GE has developed environmentally
friendly vacuum circuit breakers which
are capable of reliably switching high
stress fault currents. Increased dielectric
strength of the SecoVac circuit breaker
is achieved through encapsulation of
the vacuum interrupter in epoxy resin
material. SecoVac circuit breaker family
utilizes this solid insulation technology
that has been catering to a wide scope of
applications for years.
Environmentally-friendly design

Built to highest quality standards
SecoVac circuit breakers are designed
and fully third-party KEMA type tested to
the latest IEC 62271-100 and IEC 62271-
1 standards. All SecoVac circuit breakers
meet or exceed the electrical and
mechanical endurance requirements of
E2 and M2 in accordance with IEC 62271-
100.
Storage conditions
In order to retain all of the functional
units qualities when stored for prolonged
periods, we recommend that the
equipment is stored in its original
packaging in dry conditions sheltered
from the sun and rain at a temperature
RI EHWZHHQ °C and 40°C. For storage:
-30°C.
