Regular maintenance is the key to maximizing the lifespan and reliability of your high voltage vacuum circuit breaker (HV VCB). With proper care, Fenarro's VCBs can deliver over 30,000 mechanical operations with minimal downtime.
Here is Fenarro's recommended Vacuum Circuit Breaker Maintenance Checklist for 2026:
Visual inspection for loose connections, corrosion, or overheating
Verify operating mechanism smoothness and indicator functionality
Check auxiliary switches and control circuits
Measure contact resistance using a micro-ohmmeter
Perform timing tests (opening/closing time)
Conduct vacuum integrity test (Hi-Pot test)
Inspect for signs of arc chute damage or wear
After more than 2,000 operations
Following a major fault interruption (>50% rated current)
When abnormal noise or slow operation is observed
Fenarro's HV VCBs are designed for low maintenance thanks to their sealed vacuum interrupter technology. Following this checklist can significantly reduce unexpected failures and extend equipment life.
