Vacuum Interrupters Market Technological
breakthroughs 2023
A vacuum circuit breaker can be differentiated from other circuit breakers on the basis of its arc
quenching technique. In this type, the interruption of current flowing through arc takes place in
vacuum. This technology is widely used for applications working on medium voltage. The
vacuum circuit breakers are also suitable for high voltage applications, however they are not
commercially viable yet. The vacuum circuit breaker consist of a vacuum interrupter. This
chamber is used for the basic operations of circuit breaker such as opening and closing of
contacts carrying electric current and arc quenching. The vacuum interrupters market is made
by symmetrically arranging ceramic insulators in a steel arc chamber. The hermetically tight
vacuum chamber present in vacuum circuit breaker eliminates any external impacts on the
device. Thus the properties of the vacuum interrupter remain constant throughout the life cycle,
giving it a clear edge over the other types of interrupters.
The most common application of vacuum interrupters is in the utility sector. The energy
efficiency norms have created an upsurge in the innovation of technologies that reduce energy
loses in power generation and transmission. Innovation in recent years has given rise to
interrupters being fabricated without the use of sulfur hexafluoride gas, which was previously
considered essential. Mounting concerns over carbon emissions and the need to improve energyefficiency,
has led manufacturers to seek materials which are energy-efficient for use in
interrupter components.Classification of the vacuum circuit breaker’s market is mainly done on
the basis of application that the interrupters are being used for. Some of the major applications of
interrupters are in circuit breakers, load break switches, reclosers, contactors, tap changers and
railway circuit breakers. Also, depending on the power flow, interrupters may be used for low,
medium or high voltage power lines.
The vacuum interrupters’ market is driven by some major micro and macro factors that affect the
demand and supply of the technology. One of the major driver for this market is increase in
population. This surge in population has created high demand for electricity in domestic,
commercial as well as industrial markets. The construction of new infrastructure as well
modernization of old electric systems in buildings has aided the demand for vacuum interrupters.
Another driver for this market presently, is the gradual shift of the interrupter market from gas
insulation interrupters (mainly using sulfur hexafluoride as an insulator) to gas-free insulators,
due to regulations that inhibit the release of greenhouse gases into the atmosphere. This has
prompted the users/utility companies to replace the older versions with the new ones. Certain
interrupters also need to be retired as they wear out over the years, which drive up the sales for
new ones.

The major advantage of interrupters is that itreduces the power wastage and curb the cost arising
out of the energy loss during transmission. However, the cost of the equipment is a major
drawback for the vacuum interrupter’s market. The major decision makers for the purchase of
interrupters are vendors, electric contractors, and distributors. The high cost and lack of
awareness may affect the decision on purchasing of vacuum interrupter. The contractors or
owners may prefer to install low cost interrupters to reduce their upfront cost thereby ignoring
the efficiency advantage. In addition to this, vacuum interrupters are rarely among the stock
items. In most cases, the manufacturers prefer making custom made interrupter depending upon
the project and geographical area.
Some of the major companies involved in the manufacturing of vacuum interrupters are General
Electric, Kirloskar Electric Company Ltd., Chengdu Xuguang Electronics Co., Ltd., Crompton
Greaves Ltd., Meidensha Corporation, Mitsubishi Electric Corporation, Siemens AG, Toshiba
Corporation, Wuhan Feite Electric Co., Ltd., ABB, AREVA, and Eaton Corp.
