VIL – The Science of Vacuum
Vacuum Interrupters Limited (VIL) is an independent company with unrivalled experience in the design, manufacture and use of vacuum interrupters (VI). We perform basic research into all aspects of the technology underpinning VI as well as the specialised manufacturing processes. We also develop this research into world leading designs of both the product and manufacturing system.
Since the Covid emergency we have expanded the general consultancy with a focus on training and problem solving for VI manufacturers as well as assisting switchgear manufacturers to implement VI in their switchgear.
We are involved in the move to replace SF6 in transmission voltages with new concept Vacuum Interrupters for 72,5kV ratings through to 25kV and above.
We are also focussed on developing proprietary technology in all areas of Vacuum Interrupter technology by means of Patents and other IPR.
