[tabby title=”Replacement of GEC Alsthom VMX vacuum circuit breakers”] P&B VOR-M circuit breakers have recently been specified on a large project to replace ageing and problematic GEC Alsthom VMX vacuum circuit breakers on a large UK defence establishment in the south of England. Due to the sensitive nature of the project, the tender and approval process was extensive, involving thorough scrutiny of type tests performed and confirmation of successful product acceptance by the UK Energy Networks Association. Detailed assessment of P&B’s quality procedures to ensure full adherence to ISO 9001 was also key to the process. P&B was awarded a large contract to provide almost 50 state-of-the-art magnetic actuator operated VOR-M vacuum circuit breakers. [tabbyending]
