Vacuum Interrupters

Product information "Vacuum Interrupters"

35 to 450 A RMS; Single Terminal; 28 to 45 kV; Mechanical Life 0.5 to 2 Mio. Operations

Jennings Technology’s series of vacuum interrupters handle a wide range of voltage and current interrupt levels, and high-quality and highly reliable interrupters are available for the utility and industrial markets.

Current interruption in a vacuum is recognized as the ideal switching technology in the medium voltage range, and it is also applied in high-voltage and low-voltage applications. Excellent switching capabilities and compact design make vacuum interrupters the most economical switching device solutions possible.

Jennings vacuum interrupters feature an evacuated ceramic insulating envelope surrounding two contacts, one fixed and one movable. The movable contact is operated from the outside through a metallic bellows. Contacts are typically a copper alloy that is developed for use in AC voltage applications. The end plates are made of stainless steel or copper.

With these features, vacuum interrupters can be expected to last the life of the equipment in which they are installed. Their interruption mechanism is independent of the current magnitude, so interruption can normally be anticipated at the first current zero with no restriking, as the dielectric strength of the contact gap recovers more rapidly than the recovery voltage can rise.

Vacuum dielectric enables the interrupters’ contacts to be arranged close together, so circuit interruptions can be designed in a smaller envelope. With current interruption occurring in a vacuum, all arcing is confined within the vacuum interrupter body, so Jennings interrupters are noise-free and flash-free, avoid contact contamination as oxides and corrosion layers cannot form in vacuum, and they do not emit any greenhouse or toxic gases.

Key Features:

  • Long Life, High Reliability
  • Controlled Contact Erosion Results in Virtually Maintenance-free Operation
  • Fast Interrupting Speed
  • Rapid Dielectric Recovery
  • High Cycle Withstand Voltages
  • Robust, Compact Design
  • Environmentally Friendly
  • Atmospheric Contact Contamination is Eliminated
  • Noise-free and Flash-free


Applications: Load Break Switches; Contactors for Industrial and Motor Control; Capacitor Bank Switching; Circuit Breakers; Specialty RF and DC Applications

5R6-576 Digital Display for 5R7-001/5R7-002 TEC Temperature Controller
Accessory for TEC Temperature Controller; Display; 4-digit The 5R6-576 display is a 4-digit display for the 5R7-001/5R7-002 TEC temperature controller. The display features a minimum temperature display resolution of 0.1°. Using the switches on the display, the set point of the TEC temperature controller may be changed. There are two LED’s which indicate whether the readout is showing control temperature or set temperature. For instance, if the temperature is over 100° the readout will have a resolution of 0.1. Specifications: Temperature Readout: 4 Digit-Display Temperature Resolution: 0.01° Display Switches: Increasing the set point Decreasing the set point To choose whether to display the set temperature or the control temperature

mLC-C-1200-24-KIT mini Liquid Cooling Kit
mini Liquid Cooling Evaluation Kit; Cooling Capacity 1200 W @+25°C; Power Supply 24 VDC Key Features: Up to 1200 W Cooling Capacity Ideal for Compact Cooling of Lasers or Bio Reagents Compressor Speed Control for Ease of Temperature Control Low Vibration, Low Noise Lightweight, Compact Easy to Integrate Kit to Interface With OEM Water Circuit and Electronics Control Components Carefully Designed to Match Each Other The mLC-C-1200-24-KIT is a sealed vapor compression circuit with a speed controlled miniature rotary BLDC compressor. The evaporator is a brazed plate heat exchanger, the interface to the customer liquid coolant circuit. The mLC-C-1200-24-KIT comes with the separate 24 VDC inverter board. The compressor speed can be set from the upper control system by frequency or analog signal. The mLC-C-1200-24-KIT’s condenser is an aluminum finned copper tube heat exchanger coil and must be cooled by forced convection, i.e. a 200 mm diameter fan or equivalent. The heat exchanger stainless steel plates are nickel brazed suitable for a variety of coolant fluids, such as water, DI water and glycol-water mixtures. The plate heat exchanger has male R ¼” connectors for the customer to connect its water circuit.For lower heat loads, we also carry a mLC-C-450-24-KIT with up to 450 W cooling capacity, or a Peltier-based mini Direct Cooling KIT providing up to 130 W with no liquids or moving parts (except fans).
