Indoor high-voltage vacuum circuit breaker
Product Overview
The VS1 (ZN63)-24 series indoor high-voltage vacuum circuit breaker is an indoor high-voltage switchgear with a rated voltage of 24 kV and a frequency of 50 Hz for three-phase AC. It is suitable for use as a control and protection switch in transmission and distribution systems at power plants, substations, and industrial and mining enterprises, and is particularly well suited for applications in high-altitude areas where critical loads are switched and frequent operations are required.
The circuit breaker is manufactured in compliance with China’s national standards GB 1984-2003 “AC High-Voltage Circuit Breakers” and DL/T 403-2000 “Technical Specifications for Ordering Indoor Vacuum Circuit Breakers Rated 3.6–40.5 kV,” as well as relevant IEC standards, and features reliable interlocking functionality.
The circuit breaker’s operating mechanism is spring-energy-storage type, supporting both AC and DC energy storage operation as well as manual operation.
The circuit breaker can also be equipped with a long-life permanent-magnet operating mechanism, boasting a mechanical life of up to 10,000 operations, making it suitable for applications involving extremely frequent switching.
The circuit breaker is designed with a front-and-back modular structure, allowing it to be used either as a fixed-mounted unit or in combination with a chassis truck to form a center-mounted unit.
Terms of Use
● Altitude: not exceeding 2000 m
● Ambient temperature: maximum +40°C; minimum -15°C
● Ambient humidity: Daily average relative humidity: ≤ 95%; Monthly average relative humidity: ≤ 90%
● Earthquake intensity: less than 8 degrees
● Use in locations free from dripping water, fire hazards, explosion risks, severe contamination, chemical corrosion, and violent vibration.
Product Features
● Adopts a next-generation modular spring-operated mechanism, featuring a compact and simple structure, rational layout, reliable transmission, and convenient installation;
● Integrated design of the operating mechanism and the circuit breaker body; it can be used as a fixed installation unit or, when equipped with a dedicated pusher mechanism, configured as a handcart unit.
● The main electrical circuit shall primarily utilize insulated cylinders; alternatively, a solid-sealed pole configuration may be adopted.
● The circuit breaker is an E2-class circuit breaker;
● Comprehensive five-protection interlocking functions after cabinet assembly.
