This outdoor vacuum circuit breaker is suited for three phase AC outdoor power distribution network systems with rated voltage of 12kV and frequency of 50Hz, capable of breaking and closing load current, overload current and short-circuit current. These outdoor vacuum circuit breakers are used to protect and control of electrical power in substations, industrial and mining enterprises, as well as cities and rural areas where frequent operations of electrical grid are required.
This vacuum circuit breaker is featured by small size, lightweight, condensation resistance and maintenance-free operation, it can perform well in harsh environmental conditions.
Permanent magnet mechanism is used as operation device to holding the position of circuit breaker. It adopts less mechanical parts and shorter drive chain to reduce potential mechanical failures, thus greatly improving the reliability and prolonging service life.
