Uptime. Protection. Cost reduction.
Can you confidently say conventional breaker-based systems improve these measures for your customers?
It’s time to evolve your system designs. It’s time to offer customers the reliable, sophisticated, cost-effective solutions they need.
S&C’s Vista® Underground Distribution Switchgear is the resilience-boosting solution that allows you to design a utility-grade system that scales as your customers grow.
Vista Switchgear vs. Circuit Breakers
What Makes Vista Switchgear Different—And Superior
As an engineer, you will already be familiar with the basics of Vista switchgear, even if the product itself is new to you.
Like with circuit breaker gear, designing with Vista switchgear is instinctive and straightforward.
But unlike circuit breaker gear, Vista switchgear is easy to live with because it is purpose-built for medium-voltage applications. And it has capabilities and advantages that further set it apart: right-sizing your circuits, avoiding downtime, saving valuable space.
Get to know the specific differentiators Vista switchgear offers compared to conventional circuit breaker-based systems.
