    Vacuum Interrupters Introduces RVI-41A4 Replacement Vacuum Interrupter

    01/21/2025

    ­Vacuum Interrupters, a leading manufacturer of replacement vacuum interrupters, pole assemblies, parts, and components for medium-voltage vacuum circuit breakers and contactors, introduces the RVI-41A4 replacement vacuum interrupter.

    This direct fit-and-function replacement unit for General Electric 41A4 vacuum interrupters meets original equipment ratings and is intended for use in General Electric PowerVac PVDB1, VB, and VB1 vacuum circuit breakers. The RVI-41A4 is built to provide excellent high-voltage insulation, high cumulative and breaking capacity, exclusive internal torsion control, and an excellent vacuum seal thanks to its fine alumina ceramic.

    The replacement vacuum interrupter offers 2000 A RMS-rated current, 8.25 kV RMS maximum voltage, 95 kV peak impulse withstand, and 33 kA RMS-rated short-circuit breaking current.

    No modification is required for proper installation and operation in the existing General Electric PowerVac PVDB1, VB, and VB1 vacuum circuit breakers. Vacuum Interrupters can also provide assembly components and mounting hardware to aid in installation and shorten downtime.
