itself. Should it be necessary to use this technique, put the circuit-breaker onto a pallet or
a sturdy supporting surface (see fig. 3).
In any case, it is always advisable to carry out lifting using the supports (3). Hole "D" must

5. Description
The eVM1/P type vacuum circuit-breakers are designed for indoor installation in air-insulated
switchgear.
In respect of the technical characteristics, eVM1/P circuit-breakers are suitable for operation of
electric circuits under normal and fault service conditions.
The vacuum circuit-breakers have particular advantages when used in systems with a high fre-
quency of operations and/or which lead to a certain number of short-circuit trips.
The eVM1/P type vacuum circuit-breakers stand out for their particularly high operating reliability,
extremely long useful life expectancy and for being completely maintenance-free.
The eVM1/P type vacuum circuit-breakers are available in the withdrawable version. Their basic
structure is shown in the "Technical data" section.
