engeskom,
I'm guessing that these are devices you already have installed.
Can you give some further data, for Example Merlin Gerin have had several ranges that cover those ratings. At present in Europe it would be either
GMSet upto 24 kV & 6000A or
CGBS 24 to 52 kV 630 to 2000 A
see
In North America it would probably be a Square D product.
If it's older equipment you need to contact your local Merlin Gerin office if you tell me which country you are in I can find this for you.
regards
John

I could find quickly the ASEA , now ABB reference. The link is too long to be put in here, but you can do by yourself following the path
> Product Index A-Z > Circuit Breakers (>36 kV) and once you get here, I think what you need is a Live Tank CB type LDB D. But you can browse further for info on the type you might prefer - you know better what you're looking for.

Go to and perform a 'Search' on HLR. You will get 11 docs. See what you need. Maybe this one ...?

Fluarc is an older product, I've just looked at the Merlin Gerin site and there is no reference to it in todays product list. I remeber seeing some I think in the early 1990's. I'm at home and can't get onto the intranet site to check old products. I can do that in the morning.
Metro Vickers vanished as a brand of AEI in the 1960's I think so that is some old gear.

Go to and perform a 'Search' (see upper right corner of the page) on Fluarc. You will get 10 docs. Take a look at them and see what you need. For example, I find it interesting

The actual reason why I want information on these breakers is that I want to initiate a project for replacing some of these breakers.
Maintenance costs is increasing and spares is becoming unavailable. I just need some information to back my project.
