VBF(R)-12 Center-mounted fixed vacuum load switch-fuse combination

The VBF(R)-12 Center-mounted fixed vacuum load switch-fuse combination is a compact and reliable medium-voltage protection device. Designed for modern switchgear, it integrates a vacuum load break switch with a fuse in a fixed center-mounted structure. With a rated voltage of 12kV, the VBF(R)-12 Center-mounted fixed vacuum load switch-fuse combination offers high breaking capacity and excellent insulation performance. Its epoxy-sealed poles provide strong resistance to contamination and humidity. The modular mechanism ensures easy maintenance and long service life. Ideal for transformer protection, feeder circuits, and industrial power systems, the VBF(R)-12 delivers safe and efficient operation with minimal upkeep.
