VD4 evo: Digital Transformation in Medium-Voltage Circuit Breakers

The VD4 evo vacuum circuit breaker from ABB is the new generation of medium-voltage circuit breakers, which utilizes digital technology to optimize performance and enhance reliability in electrical distribution systems.

Digital Transformation in Circuit Breakers

VD4 evo is the advanced, digitally enhanced version of the VD4 circuit breaker, which is recognized as one of the most widely used medium-voltage circuit breakers globally, with over 2 million installations. This product integrates advanced sensors, enabling real-time monitoring and diagnostics of thermal, mechanical, and electrical parameters, resulting in asset management from a distance, reduced maintenance costs, and minimized downtime.

Key Features of VD4 evo

• Enhanced Productivity:
  The VD4 evo retains the same dimensions as the previous model (VD4), making it easy to install in existing panels without any physical modifications. Compared to some traditional medium-voltage circuit breakers, its design is considered more compact.
• Increased Safety:
  Internal sensors provide real-time health status monitoring, risk evaluation, and maintenance recommendations, which help in reducing unexpected outages.
• Improved Connectivity:
  VD4 evo offers seamless integration with monitoring and control systems. It can directly connect to ABB’s SCADA system (ZEE600) or other SCADA systems and equipment from other manufacturers. Additionally, it supports wireless (Wi-Fi) or wired connections for visual dashboards to display status, receive alerts, and analyze circuit breaker performance.

Operational and Financial Benefits

VD4 evo reduces the risk of power outages by 30% and increases operational and maintenance productivity by 60%. The modern design of this circuit breaker also helps reduce the space required and optimize energy consumption in systems compared to some traditional circuit breakers on the market.

Compatibility and Easy Installation

The VD4 evo is designed with a "Plug & Play" concept, ensuring easy compatibility with existing VD4 circuit breakers and straightforward installation. It can be used independently or integrated with the ABB Ability™ Asset Manager platform for in-depth analysis, trend reports, and predictive maintenance across multiple devices and systems 24/7 and remotely.
