Overview
Designed for modern medium voltage distribution networks, this outdoor vacuum circuit breaker provides stable protection and reliable switching performance for overhead power lines, substations, industrial facilities, and renewable energy projects. The advanced vacuum interruption technology helps improve operational safety while reducing maintenance requirements in long-term outdoor operation.
Compared with traditional oil circuit breakers, vacuum circuit breakers offer faster arc extinguishing capability, longer electrical life, and more stable performance under demanding environmental conditions.
Key Features
- Advanced vacuum interruption — faster arc extinguishing capability and longer electrical life than traditional oil circuit breakers.
- Sealed vacuum interrupter — effectively protects internal components from dust, moisture, pollution, and humidity.
- Suitable for hostile environments — coastal areas, industrial zones, mountainous regions, and outdoor distribution systems with unstable weather conditions.
- Compact pole-mounted structure — simplifies installation and reduces on-site construction workload for utilities and electrical contractors.
- Optional intelligent controllers — and automatic reclosing functions improve grid reliability and reduce outage time.
- Supports smart distribution networks — where operational continuity is critical.
- Tested before delivery — all products undergo strict quality inspection and routine electrical testing.
- Corrosion-resistant housing — with a durable internal structure that helps extend service life while minimizing maintenance costs.

- Flexible voltage ratings and customized configurations are available according to project requirements and local grid standards.
How to Select
- The voltage rating required by your distribution network and local grid standards.
- Whether an intelligent controller and automatic reclosing functions are needed.
- The installation environment — coastal, industrial, mountainous or inland — to confirm the housing and protection are appropriate.
- The switching and protection duty at the point of installation.
- Any customized configuration required for the project.
