Medium Voltage Vacuum Contactors Market Technological Advancements, Growth Opportunity and Forecast 2018-2026
Contractor is an
electrically controlled switch used for switching an electric power circuit. It
comprises three parts, namely Contacts as the current carrying component,
electromagnet as the driving force to close the contacts, and enclosure is a
frame enclosing the contact and electromagnet. Vacuum contactors utilize
vacuum bottle encapsulated contacts. Vacuum contractors are widely used at
medium voltages i.e. 1000 V-5000V, as effective circuit breakers in various
applications. Vacuum contactors are only applicable for use in AC
systems. These contactors are used in conveying and elevator systems,
pumping stations, air conditioning systems, as well as in systems for reactive
power compensation, and can therefore be found in almost every industrial sector.
The power sector growth
is a major driving factor for the medium voltage vacuum contractors market
Vacuum contactors are very
efficient at disrupting the energy of an electric arc and are used when
relatively fast switching is required, as the maximum break time is determined
by the periodicity of the AC waveform. For example, in the case of 60HZ power
(U.S. standard), the power will discontinue within 1/120 or 0.008333 of a
second. Medium voltage vacuum contactors are load breaking devices with a
limited short-circuit making and breaking capacity for applications with high
switching rates of up to 1 million operating cycles. Advantages associated with
using a vacuum as a switching medium are long electrical and mechanical life,
extremely compact size and no arc chutes or blow out coils. Thus, the market of
medium voltage vacuum contactor is expected to grow with growth of the Heating,
Ventilation and Air Conditioners (HVAC) application.
The rapid growth of the
power sector, owing to the increasing power consumption across the globe, is
also expected to fuel growth of the medium voltage vacuum contractors market.
For instance, according to a 2016 publication by University of Oxford, the
global primary energy consumption increased to 151,548.48 Terawatt-hours (TWh)
in 2016, up from 150,307.8 TWh in 2015. Vacuum contactors enable safe and efficient
switching capability at power plants, as compared to air break contactors,
which makes them a relatively more feasible solution in power generation,
transmission and distribution substations.

Medium Voltage Vacuum
Contractors: Regional Insight
The market for medium
voltage vacuum contractors is segmented on the basis of six regions into North
America, Europe, Asia Pacific, Latin America, Middle East, and Africa.
Asia Pacific is the
largest and fastest-growing market for the medium voltage vacuum contactors,
owing to the growing electrical equipment and power generation sectors in the
region. Asia Pacific encompasses some of the fast-growing economies such as
China, India, and Japan, that will majorly contribute in the growth of Medium
Voltage Vacuum Contactors. India is will majorly contribute to the medium
voltage vacuum contactors market in the region, owing to the growth in its
growing power sector. For instance, according to May 2018 report by India Brand
Equity Foundation, India ranked fifth in the world for its power generation
capacity. In May 2018, India ranked fourth in the Asia Pacific region, out
of 25 nations on an index that measures overall power. Electricity production
in India reached 1,201.543 Billion Units (BU) during 2018, accounting for 55.72%
growth, compared to that in 2017. Medium voltage vacuum contactors are
favoured in typical load equipment, such as transformers, which is majorly used
in the power sector. Thus, growth of the power sector in Asia Pacific in turn,
is expected to fuel grow of the medium voltage vacuum contactors, over the
forecast period.
North America is the
second-largest market for medium voltage vacuum contactors due to increasing
generation and consumption of power in this region. For instance,
according to Enerdata’s Global Energy in 2017, the rate of energy consumption
in North America was 4,365 TWh, accounting for around 21% of the total
consumption in the world. Similarly, the region generated 4,970 TWh in 2016.
Medium voltage vacuum contactors are suitable for application that require
large transformers or large motors, such as applications in the power
generation and transmission industry. Thus, growth of the power sector in the
region is expected to boost growth of the medium voltage vacuum contactors in
North America.
