Advanced Technology for Improved Reliability
For over 100 years, Square D products from Schneider Electric have been
setting standards in quality for the electric industry and serving utilities with
highly reliable products. By combining the latest developments in circuit
breaker technology with world-renowned quality, the Powersub Type FVR
Vacuum Substation Circuit Breakers from Square D Services are the most
advanced medium voltage circuit breakers available.

Compliance to ANSI standards

Designed and tested to comply with IEEE/ANSI standards for outdoor
circuit breakers.

ISO 9001 certification

Designed and manufactured in a facility that is Quality Systems
Certified by Underwriters Laboratories, Inc. to ISO 9001.

Arc-resistant construction
As standard, the 600 - 2000 A ratings of the FVR have
arc-resistant construction in accordance with EEMAC and IEC
standards for Type B enclosures.

Benefits
High-speed operation
Interrupting time of three cycles or less.
Long life
Hermetically sealed interrupters protect contacts from corroding elements
and contamination.
Ease of maintenance
Interrupter assemblies and contact wear indicators accessible via
a bolted panel.
Reliability
A minimum of moving parts on the motor-driven, spring-charged
Type RI mechanism.
Durability
Robust design tested to the highest IBC-2000 seismic standard.
Other seismic standards may be evaluated upon request.
Flexibility
Breaker height is adjustable from minimum to maximum in 3 in. increments.
Component Commonality
Utilizes Type RI operating mechanism/coils/motor, which are
commonly used among many Square D medium-voltage circuit breakers.
