Upgrading Medium Voltage Switchgear with VCB TV1 Retrofit Solution

Over many years of operation, medium voltage switchgear often encounters degradation: switching devices no longer operate stably, the risk of safety loss increases, and finding replacement components for old circuit breakers (VCBs) becomes difficult or nearly impossible. This leads to serious risks in the electrical system operation process, directly affecting the reliability, safety, and operating costs of the enterprise.

To thoroughly address the above issue, Truong Giang Electric (TGE) introduces the VCB TV1 Retrofit solution – an intelligent, efficient, and cost-effective upgrade method for existing medium voltage switchgear systems.

Why Is Retrofit the Optimal Solution?

Instead of investing in an entirely new switchgear system – which requires very high costs and entails long periods of downtime, Retrofit allows retaining the existing switchgear structure and only replacing the faulty VCB part with the TV1 vacuum circuit breaker.

This solution brings many outstanding benefits:

• Ensures safety & reliability: VCB TV1 applies advanced vacuum technology, minimizes arcing, enhances short-circuit interrupting capability and equipment lifespan.
• Saves investment costs: No need to replace the entire switchgear, focusing only on replacing critical equipment, significantly reducing costs compared to new investment solutions.
• Minimizes downtime: The retrofit process is quick, with compact installation, maximally limiting impacts on production and business activities.
• Extends switchgear lifespan: Upgrading with TV1 helps the system continue to operate stably for many more years, preserving the initial investment value.
• Suitable for various switchgear types: TGE designs customizable Retrofit kits, adaptable to most popular medium voltage switchgear lines on the market.
