Dead Tank Circuit Breaker 362-420 kV

The 362-420 kV rated Dead Tank Breakers provide robust performance at a low cost of ownership.  Tested for high transient recovery voltage (TRV) performance applications, mechanical endurance and switching capabilities and designed for the toughest transmission applications.

For shunt reactor protection, Hitachi Energy now offers Dead Tank Breakers with applied Metal Oxide Varistors (MOVs).  This solution increases the reliability of the breaker by limiting damaging overvoltages.
