Vacuum Circuit Breakers for Rail Vehicles: Switching Under Load

Our vacuum circuit breakers, available in both electric and pneumatic versions, are specifically designed to safely disconnect and connect the power flow between the overhead line and the electrical equipment of rail vehicles—even under load.

Thanks to their low-maintenance design, our circuit breakers ensure reliable arc extinction and allow for phase-controlled switching. An additional advantage of the electric vacuum circuit breaker is that it does not require a pneumatic line, simplifying installation and maintenance. Trust our solutions for maximum safety and efficiency in the operation of your rail vehicles.

Vacuum circuit breaker Richard AG - RM 5132. With electric vacuum main switches, the drive and control are operated electrically.

Pneumatic vacuum circuit breaker Richard AG - RM 531. The drive and control are pneumatic. An air tank (air reservoir) is located on the control unit, which guarantees two further switching operations in the event of an operating air failure. This ensures an emergency shutdown.
