The worlds fastest
switching device
Reduces substation cost
Solves short-circuit problems
in new substations and substation extensions
Optimum solution for interconnection of
switchboards and substations
In most cases the only technical solution
Tried and tested in thousands of installations
Worldwide in service
The peak short-circuit current will never be
reached
The short-circuit current is limited
at the very first current rise
