- Vacuum versions (VWE, VWVE27, VWVE38X) need far less interrupter maintenance than oil-interrupting WE units.
- A matched control and cable add value.
- Counter reading and oil condition matter.
- Units built before 1980 may contain PCBs; we sample before an offer is final.
- We do not publish prices. Metal, demand, and condition move them. You get a written number for your unit.
The E at the end of the type means the recloser takes its trip and close commands from a separate electronic control. Because these reclosers use the standard 14-pin interface, they pair with Kyle Form 4C, Form 5 and Form 6 controls and with SEL-651R and SEL-651RA controls, which keeps old tanks in service after a control upgrade. All three phases trip, reclose and lock out together.
