What Makes Vista Switchgear Different—And Superior
As an engineer, you'll already be familiar with the basics of Vista switchgear.
Like with circuit breaker gear, designing with Vista switchgear is instinctive and straightforward.
Unlike circuit breaker gear, Vista switchgear is easy to live with because it is purpose-built for medium-voltage applications. And it has capabilities and advantages that further set it apart: right-sizing your circuits, avoiding downtime, saving valuable space.
Get to know the specific differentiators Vista switchgear offers compared to conventional circuit breaker-based systems.
