3 Mechanical endurancec This magnetic field is generated by a patented external coil which surroundsthe contact zone. This solution provides many advantages:v a simplified and therefore reliable vacuum interrupterv heavy duty contacts which do not distort during repeated switching operationsv considerable reduction in control mechanism For the first time, a low voltage device control mechanism has been integratedin a medium voltage circuit breaker . The Masterpact control mechanism used onEvolis provides the benefits of a system that has proven itself for over 10 yearson hundreds of thousands of is in conformity with most demanding mechanical endurance class(IEC 60 056.)
