General Info

Vacuum Electric Switch Co was founded in 1998 when it developed a patented process to remanufacture vacuum interrupter modules for VBT arc furnace switches. VBT switches are a product of the Joslyn-Hi-Voltage Corp. and for more than forty years have been used world wide by the steel and foundry industry to turn arc furnaces on and off. The vacuum interrupter module is an expensive and frequently replaced part, and this innovation substantially reduced the cost of maintenance. Remanufacturing modules is now a routine practice at more than forty steel mills in the U.S. and Canada. Starting with a single part, Vacuum Electric Switch Co has grown to supply a full line of maintenance parts. It operates a shop in Akron, Ohio USA where it repairs and remanufactures whole switches. To discuss your switch needs contact Cecil Wristen, President at phone ( 330 ) 374-5156, Vacuum Electric Switch Co manufactures products which are suitable for use in Joslyn Hi-Voltage products. Its products are of its own design and methods of manufacture which may not be the same as employed by Joslyn. Furthermore product designs may change over time as improvements are implemented
