3.Key Features & Advantages
1. Built to Withstand Extreme Conditions
The product uses a reinforced bracket column structure to resist earthquakes (up to IEEE 693 standards) and a large-creepage porcelain sleeve to prevent flashovers in dusty or humid areas. Its corrosion-resistant enclosure ensures longevity in coastal or industrial zones.
2. Modular Design for Easy Maintenance
A miniaturized, modular spring mechanism reduces operational complexity. Components can be quickly replaced onsite, cutting maintenance time by 30% compared to traditional models.
3. Energy-Efficient Performance
Vacuum interruption technology minimizes arc energy loss, achieving 99.9% current-breaking efficiency. This lowers operating costs and extends the device’s lifespan beyond 30 years.
4.Ideal Applications
- Power Grids: Ensures stable transmission in urban and rural networks.
- Railways: Protects electrified rail systems from overloads.
- Renewable Energy Farms: Integrates seamlessly with solar/wind substations.
- Industrial Plants: Safeguards heavy machinery in mining, steel, or chemical industries.
5.How It Works?
The breaker uses a vacuum interrupter to extinguish arcs during fault conditions. When a surge occurs, its spring-operated mechanism isolates the circuit within milliseconds, preventing damage to downstream equipment. The sealed design eliminates SF6 gas, making it eco-friendly.
