Overview

The ABB RMVI3-21-15-6AB6-20 is a three-phase molded vacuum interrupter designed for riser pole applications in medium-voltage distribution systems. Rated at 15kV and 600 amperes, this interrupter provides reliable switching and fault interruption for three-phase systems. The unit includes air bushings for direct connection to riser pole units, ensuring compatibility with standard installation configurations. The external 20 control interface enables phase and ground trip functionality when paired with a three-phase MVI mechanism, allowing for coordinated protection and isolation in distribution networks. This interrupter is a critical component for utilities and industrial facilities requiring safe, efficient, and maintenance-friendly medium-voltage switching solutions. The molded vacuum design ensures compactness and environmental resistance, suitable for outdoor and indoor installations where space and reliability are priorities. The 600-ampere rating supports typical distribution feeder applications, while the 15kV rating aligns with common medium-voltage system requirements. The external control interface simplifies integration with existing protection schemes, reducing wiring complexity and improving operational flexibility.
