Vacuum Contactors
● Vacuum contactor primarily consists of a vacuum interrupter and an operating mechanism. Vacuum interrupter has two functions: frequently interrupting the operating current and extinguishing the arc reliably through the normal operating current.
● Vacuum contactor consists of an insulating power frame, metal base, drive arm, electromagnetic system, auxiliary switch, and vacuum switch tube
● Vacuum contactor has strong arc extinguishing ability, good pressure resistance performance, high operating frequency, and long service life
● Increase in automation and rise in urbanization has boosted the demand for motors, capacitors, switchgear, transformers, etc. This is expected to drive the demand for vacuum contactors.
Key Drivers of Global Vacuum Contactors Market
● Demand for vacuum contactors has been increasing across the globe owing to rise in automation and industrialization. Demand for electricity is high due to increase in population across the globe. This is also driving the global vacuum contactors market.
● Increase in distribution networks and modernization of existing power infrastructure are also anticipated to boost the demand for vacuum contactors during the forecast period
COVID-19 Impact Analysis
● The COVID-19 pandemic has disrupted the entire value chain of the vacuum contactors market. The pandemic has hampered the supply of raw materials and labor in the market. Demand for vacuum contactors has been severely affected across the globe, owing to the several lockdown measures adopted by various countries to control the pandemic. Most manufacturers of vacuum contactors are striving to adopt new strategies to reform their business models.
Key Development
● On September 10, 2019, ABB released a new vacuum contactor for switching electrical loads to the medium-voltage offering. This contactor is suited for a wide variety of applications requiring a high number of operations: motor starting and motor control centers, transformers, soft starters, and metal-enclosed capacitor banks.
Asia Pacific to Hold Major Share of Global Vacuum Contactors Market
● Based on region, the global vacuum contactors market can be segmented into North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, Latin America, and Middle East & Africa
