Capacitor Controls Provide voltage, time or
temperature control with
programmable override
Microprocessor-based
controls feature adaptive functions
that allow the unit to program itself
Zero-voltage closing controls improve
the power efficiency at the substation
Joslyn Hi-Voltage Series JMVIVac-Rupter Interrupter Attachments Forms an interrupter assembly with one or more of
these vacuum interrupter modules connected in series
and install it on a disconnect switch to provide load
switching capability
Includes all mounting hardware for fast and
easy installation on most vertical-break
disconnect switches
Available with Joslyn Hi-Voltage Series RF-2
switches to provide a complete load interrupter
switch package
Joslyn Hi-VoltageVBUSwitching Systems Sealed, immune to ice and contamination
and designed to withstand system voltage
continuously in the open position
Ideal for capacitor switching at 115kV or 230kV
Change their voltage rating just by adding or
subtracting vacuum contact modules
ZVC Control closes three switch poles
independently, synchronized with the occurrence
of zero voltage in each phase
Joslyn Hi-VoltageVarmaster VBM SwitchingSystems VBM switches are
breaker-class devices
employing vacuum
interruption for load
breaking and solid dielectric
Joslyte insulation around
the vacuum bottle
Offer high reliability, safe inter-
ruption with no external arcing
Zero-voltage closing control mitigates the system overvoltages
and high inrush currents to prevent equipment damage and
stress on capacitors
Joslyn Hi-Voltage Series UVI Universal
Vac-Rupter InterrupterAttachments Converts an isolating switch into
a load interrupter switch
Mounts quickly on vertical-break,
side-break, double side-break, center side-
break and in-line design switches, in all
configurations including phase-over-phase
Used for full load interruption up to 34.5kV and for reduced
recovery voltage applications up to 230kV
Joslyn Hi-Voltage Series RF-2 Switches Rugged vertical-break air disconnect switches
for all-weather operation
The switch blade provides efficient
ice-breaking action and contact
surface wiping
Run cooler and suffer less
oxidation and corrosion
than other switches
Available in voltage ratings of
15kV to 230kV for currents of 600A to 3,000A
Available with motor operator for reliable switching even in the
coldest conditions

We Deliver Wind PowerReliability and Efficiency
Thomas & Betts utility products enhance the energy efficiency
and reliability of the wind farm power delivery systems. Our
trusted brands continue to evolve to meet the changing needs
of our customers.
Elastimold products have been a leader in underground power
distribution for over four decades. Our solid dielectric switchgear
and pre-molded connector products connect and protect the
wind farm distribution system, from the tower to the substation.
Hi-Tech fuses provide overcurrent protection for underground
transformers throughout the wind farm. At the substations we
bring the experience of Joslyn Hi-Voltage capacitor switches
and Homac connectors, which have been the top choice of
utilities for over 50 years.
