Voyten Type RL/VRL (RLE / RLI / RLF) — common questions

Where is the catalog number on a Voyten Type RL/VRL breaker?

On the breaker nameplate, on the front escutcheon of the drawout element. On a typical RL the catalog number runs together with a suffix after a hyphen, as in RLAS2EAJXCA05X-IJW3D8. If the plate is painted over or illegible, Send the catalog number or a nameplate photo to Voyten Electric at 1-800-458-4001 and our team will identify it.

Is the Voyten Type RL/VRL still in production?

No. The Type RL line was discontinued and there is no current-production drop-in equivalent, so existing RL switchgear is supported through the aftermarket rather than replaced. Voyten Electric purchased the complete remaining RL and Type LA inventory directly from the Wendell, North Carolina facility and holds it as New Surplus.

What trip unit does an RL breaker use?

The Static Trip III is the electronic trip unit for the RL series, providing adjustable long-time, short-time, instantaneous and ground-fault protection. Earlier RL breakers may carry a Static Trip II.
