Tavrida Electric Limited was founded in 1990 as a private company.

Our history, however, dates back to 1967 when the father of our founder, Dr. Michael Chaly, started a research laboratory within the Institute of Industrial Design in the city of Sevastopol located in Crimea on the Black Sea. This laboratory was involved in the advanced research of medium voltage switchgear using vacuum interruption techniques mainly for naval applications.

In the mid-70’s the first VCB was created in this laboratory. It was the prototype of the modern TEL-type VCB.

In the 80’s the research work was carried out by Dr. Alexey Chaly, today’s Chairman of the Group.

20 years ago Tavrida Electric was the first company to introduce a vacuum circuit breaker with magnetic actuators.

Through fundamental research into magnetic actuators, vacuum interrupters and insulator design, Tavrida Electric has created the most compact, light weight and reliable circuit breaker device in the market to date. More than 300,000 vacuum circuit breakers and over 18,000 reclosers installed worldwide make Tavrida Electric a leading manufacturer for the medium voltage vacuum switchgear industry.

Over the past 20 years Tavrida Electric has developed into a multinational group of companies. The research and development into magnetic actuators, vacuum interrupters, insulator design and electronics is located in Sevastopol, Crimea at the Black Sea as well as in St. Petersburg, Russia. The manufacturing of core modules is located in Russia. Regional Units in over 22 countries provide marketing, sales, service, application engineering and manufacturing of completed products.
