TRV Capacitors

Transient Recovery Voltage (TRV) capacitors, strategically positioned phase-to-ground near circuit breaker terminals, play an important function in mitigating transient overvoltage. Our engineering team is proficient in manufacturing solutions tailored to specific requirements of both Air Insulated Switchgear (AIS) and Gas Insulated Switchgear (GIS) applications.
