The ABB VTR714 is a high-power, liquid-cooled, air-insulated medium-voltage (MV) vacuum circuit breaker (VCB). It is a core component within ABB's range of UniGear switchgear assemblies, specifically designed for primary power distribution in demanding industrial and utility applications. This breaker is engineered to safely make, carry, and interrupt high electrical currents under both normal and fault conditions within a metal-clad switchgear enclosure.
