An extensive range for all applications

With its range of circuit breakers up to 24 kV, Evolis meets both industrial process and power network type applications.

The Evolis range gives you the choice between two versions, fixed or withdrawable. The widths have been optimized to facilitate cubicle integration through four phase-to-phase distances.

Medium voltage distribution

Vacuum circuit breaker Evolis

From the world specialist in MV/LV electrical distribution

Through their expertise in circuit breaker design, Schneider Electrics specialists, one step ahead of the technological and economic developments on the market, provide solutions to meet the increasing demands of end users and intermediaries.

A few key dates

In Medium Voltage 1965 : Solenarc

This range of air-break circuit breakers provided safety and endurance compared with oil technology. 1978 : VM6 SF6 type secondary distribution cubicles. 1980 : Fluarc SF6 breaking circuit breakers. 1990 : SM6 Modular cubicle system to replace the VM6.

2000 2004

Evolis 17.5 kV

Evolis 24 kV

In Low Voltage
1970 : Compact 1980 : Multi 9 1980 : Masterpact

Evolis is a vacuum technology circuit breaker that meets current and future standards in terms of electrical installation dependability, in compliance with standards and environmental protection. It is a quintessential expression of Schndeider Electrics know-how. Evolis is intended for all electrical network applications, either new or renovation installations, for utilities companies, infrastructures, process industry and tertiary buildings.

Innovating in the right direction

Innovating is about offering you the best of a technology. It is also about enhancing this technology with other electronics software and telecommunications technologies. In this way innovation is empowered. It allows you to have equipment that is increasingly accurate and reliable... but that is also easier to integrate, to install or to maintain. Product design takes into account environmental constraints. They are described in a Product Environmental Profile (PEP).

Several major innovations

Sepam

Sepam is the first digital relay for MV network protection. With Sepam, network monitoring and operation has become more dependable by taking account of a greater number of parameters. Sepam has also allowed us to simplify the Low Voltage monitoring and metering function.
Masterpact

This was the first LV power circuit breaker to integrate an electronic release unit. Masterpact opened up new opportunities for improving protection selectivity, communication, the scope and precision of settings. This innovation also allowed us to simplify ordering by reducing the number of references.

The very best of vacuum technology

As a specialist in breaking technologies, Schneider Electric naturally took an interest in vacuum breaking techniques. A major R&D investment was made to develop and engineer Evolis.

AMF technology
Our specialists chose AMF vacuum breaking technology: Axial Magnetic Field. In addition to excellent dielectric withstand, AMF technology gives high circuit breaker endurance and guarantees electrical installation durability.

The Schneider Electric guarantee

All components of the Evolis circuit breaker are produced in Schneider Electric plants, including the vacuum interrupters, which are manufactured in an ultra-modern production unit in France. From design to production, our industrial process expertise guarantees a product that meets standards of quality and reliability.

At every stage of development and production, Evolis was subject to a series of tests to guarantee its performance levels. Evolis is in accordance with IEC standard 62 271-100. Design and production sites are certified ISO 9000 (std.2000). Production sites are certifie ISO 14001.

In compliance with standards

Designed for panel builders

The Evolis system was designed to be easier to integrate and install. It includes Schneider Electrics MV distribution expertise and an extensive component catalogue. It provides a simple solution to building customised MV switchboards.

The Schneider Electric MV switchboard component offer

Evolis circuit breakers offer guarantees high performance of MV switchboards: cubicle components, multi-performance current sensors allowing the number of references and installation costs to be reduced. They also allow easier cubicle integration MV network protection relays

Optimise your production schedules

Logistics considerations were integrated for Evolis, right from the products offer design stage. Order and stock management and delivery times were optimized to allow us to respond even quicker to your requirements.

Through its compact dimensions, Evolis is perfectly suited to substitution or renovation in existing installations.

For new and retrofit installations

Service included
Schneider Electric provides panel builders with a high performance set of tools to help them to design and produce their switchboards on a day-to-day basis.
