DISTRIBUTION SOLUTIONS

OVR three-phase vacuum reclosers

SCADA switch for smart networks

ABB offers a complete range of

three-phase mechanically gang-
operated vacuum reclosers suitable
for distribution networks up to 38 kV
in accordance with IEC 62271-111 and
IEEE C37.60. Advanced protection
functions and communication
protocols make them a more reliable
solution for smart outdoor networks
and substations.

Operator safety at its best Fast installation with easy operation

• Safer and more secure manual and maintenance
emergency trip handle to prevent • Site-ready units reduce installation time,
accidental closing in an emergency effort and cost
situation • Flexible mounting options for single/
• No electronics to maintain in high double pole or substation frame
voltage cabinet available
• Draw-out protection Relion® relay
Reliable in extreme conditions for quick and easy maintenance
• Solid dielectric design with HCEP or replacement
(hydrophobic cycloaliphatic epoxy • Relay configuration and settings
polymer) insulating material helps can be managed from front-panel
ensure superior performance over HMI, web-based user interface or
a longer service period connectivity tool
• Excellent performance even in high- • Integrated current and voltage
pollution environments measurement
• State-of-the-art magnetic actuation • Flexibility in protection relay selection
and vacuum interrupters help maintain
reliable switching performance over
the life of the recloser
