Circuit Breaker

1.Overview

1.1 Main purpose and scope of application

The ZW32-40.5 outdoor AC high-voltage vacuum circuit breaker (hereinafter referred to as the "circuit breaker")is a new generation of outdoor vacuum circuit breakers developed by introducing advanced foreign technology and combining the characteristics of China's power industry. 

This circuit breaker is designed for three-phase AC 50/60HZ and has a rated voltage of 40.5KV, making it suitable for outdoor high-voltage switchgear. It is primarily used in the distribution systems of urban and rural power grids, substations, as well as industrial and mining enterprises, for opening and closing load currents, overload currents, and short-circuit currents. Due to the special properties of vacuum circuit breakers, they are particularly suitable for applications requiring frequent operations and oil-free retrofits. 

This model of circuit breaker adopts a three-phase separated pole structure, ensuring that a fault in one phase will not cause a three-phase short circuit. The vacuum arc extinguishing chamber is housed within the insulating sleeve of each phase, eliminating the risk of short-circuit faults caused by condensation. The external insulation employs imported outdoor epoxy resin or silicone rubber materials, providing excellent hydrophobic and anti-fouling properties, making it suitable for outdoor environments with high weather resistance requirements and harsh operating conditions. The overall structure of the circuit breaker is compact, with a small footprint,light weight, and easy installation. The interior of the cabinet is filled with transformer oil but contains no sulfur hexafluoride gas, meeting the requirements for oil-free retrofits and environmental protection.
