 MVR Test Data Summary

Elastimold

®

 MVRs are tested under the requirements of ANSI 

C37.60-2003.  

L7BOEL7.73T

are certified as single-phase devices 

and are capable of single-phase tripping on all grounded and 
ungrounded circuits within their respective rated maximum 
voltages (17.1kV for 15kV units  
and 29.3kV for 27kV units).

L7.73T

are certified for use  

as a single-phase device capable  
of single-phase tripping on 
grounded circuits and as a  
three-phase device capable  
of three-phase tripping only  
on ungrounded circuits.
