Our next first is here! G&W Electric is revolutionizing the industry with the introduction of Viper-HV.
Designed to provide over-current protection from temporary faults on overhead sub-transmission lines, the NEW Viper-HV provides better functionality on a pole without the cost of a substation.
G&W Electric’s Viper-HV 72.5KV recloser is designed to provide overcurrent protection through fault isolation and automatic restoration for temporary faults on overhead sub-transmission lines.
Features and Benefits
Innovative 3-in-1 Device. This revolutionary solution incorporates reclosing technology, current transformers, and voltage sensors in a single space-saving design.
Automation Ready. Simplifying conversion for any future requirements, the Viper-HV provides faster fault isolation, restoration, and reconfiguration capability.
