This report summarizes the activities and progress of Working Group A3.27, focusing on the applications of vacuum switchgear (VCB) at transmission voltages since its inception in 2009. Led by convener R. Smeets from the Netherlands, the group consists of 31 members who share knowledge and experiences on the implications of VCB compared to SF6 technology. The report outlines discussions held in various international meetings, recent tutorials, and forthcoming publications, providing valuable insights into industry expectations and market developments related to high-voltage switchgear.
