ELASTIMOLD® SWITCHGEAR MOLDED VACCUM SWITCHES
ABB Elastimold molded vacuum switches deliver reliable, maintenance‑free load switching for 5-38kV systems.
DECADES OF PROVEN PERFORMANCE
ABB's Elastimold molded vacuum switches provide 600-amp load-switching capability across 5-38kV medium voltage distribution systems without oil or SF6 gas. Available in single-phase and three-phase models with EPDM insulation and submersible construction, these switches integrate into Elastimold switchgear systems – padmount, vault, subsurface and riser pole – to deliver reliable and virtually maintenance-free switching.
KEY FEATURES AND BENEFITS
<p>Assembled, tested and shipped from Hackettstown, New Jersey, USA, ABB's Elastimold molded vacuum switches deliver high reliability, safety, sustainability and operational flexibility for medium-voltage distribution.</p>
Cost-effective
<p>Without oil or SF6 gas, there is virtually no maintenance required. This helps lower the total cost of ownership for the life of the switchgear.</p>Submersible
<p>Sealed and fully submersible to 10 feet (3 meters).</p>Performance
<p>Reliable 600‑A load switching helps reduce outages.</p>Safe
<p>Dead-front construction eliminates exposed live parts and reduces arc flash risk. Available with the optional ABB Tru-Break™ switchgear module, allowing utility crews to visually verify circuit isolation and safely ground the de-energized line before performing maintenance.</p>Flexible
<p>Modular, component-based design is made of individual switch and interrupter components up to 35kV. These can be combined in an unlimited number of ways and configurations for extreme flexibility.</p>Corrosion-resistant
<p>Submersible, corrosion-resistant and fully shielded.</p>Reliable
<p>Made with a proprietary EPDM rubber formulation that has been tested and trusted in the field for over 50 years on a solid-dielectric platform. With a silicone diaphragm, it uses air as an insulating medium. </p>INDUSTRIES WE SUPPORT
