Product Introduction

1.LW8-40.5 Outdoor SF6 Circuit Breaker: Reliable Power Protection for Demanding Environments

When managing high-voltage transmission networks, you need equipment that combines durability, precision, and compliance. The LW8-40.5 Outdoor SF6 Circuit Breaker delivers exactly that. Designed for 35kV–40.5kV systems, this advanced circuit breaker uses SF6 gas insulation to ensure stable performance in extreme temperatures (-30°C to +55°C), seismic zones, and corrosive environments. With certifications like IEC 62271-100 and GB/T 11022, it’s trusted by utilities globally to minimize grid downtime and maintenance costs.

3.Key Features & Advantages

1. Unmatched Durability in Harsh Conditions

The product features an IP65-rated enclosure and seismic resistance up to 9 intensity. Its compressed-gas arc quenching system ensures rapid interruption (<50ms) even during frequent capacitive/inductive load switching.

2. Maintenance Simplified

Precharged with SF6 gas at the factory, onsite installation requires only gas top-ups and mechanical connections. The MKZ density gauge provides real-time gas pressure monitoring, eliminating guesswork.

3. Retrofit-Ready Design

Replace legacy oil-based breakers (e.g., DW8-35) seamlessly using our transition base. No civil engineering modifications needed—ideal for urban grid upgrades.

4. Energy Efficiency & Safety

Optimized SF6 usage reduces greenhouse gas leakage (<0.5%/year) while maintaining arc-quenching efficiency.

4.Where It Excels: Real-World Applications
