ADVAC is ABB's ANSI drawout breaker. AMVAC closes and trips with a magnetic actuator instead of springs, in drawout and fixed versions. VD4 is the IEC design. Utility and industrial switchgear, OEM skids, and renewable collector systems.

Model name, plus ratings on the nameplate: kV, continuous amps, and interrupting kA.
- Newer units from renewables and data centers carry strong numbers.
- Complete breakers with controls and documentation carry the most.
- We do not publish prices. Metal, demand, and condition move them. You get a written number for your units.
AMVAC has no charging springs; it closes and trips with a magnetic actuator. Its control power requirements differ from a spring mechanism breaker, and buyers check that first. Photograph the nameplate and the control rating.
Three photos price a medium voltage breaker.
The nameplate

Selling ABB ADVAC, AMVAC, and VD4 vacuum breakers: what people ask.
Yes. Repowering and cancelled phases produce ADVAC and AMVAC in good condition.
Both. Tell us which; VD4 is IEC, ADVAC is ANSI.
Yes. Breakers usually sell better with the lineup they came from, and we can take the whole thing out.
We do. Medium voltage breakers are heavy and the mechanisms are not forgiving; our crew brings the lift truck and rigging. You de-energize and lock out.
