COMPONENTS
The Toshiba HCV-6KAU and HCV-6KALU
vacuum contactors described in this manual are
suitable for use on systems of 7.2kV – 720A –
7.2kA.
Arc interruption is accomplished inside sealed
vacuum interrupters mounted on track-resistant
insulators. Vacuum interrupters use low-surge
contact materials, which exhibit low current
chopping levels reducing switching over-voltage.
