Applications

  • Power grid equipment — protection and control unit in 3.6–12kV power systems.
  • Industrial and mining enterprises — power design and protection for plant distribution.
  • Loads with different properties — suitable for various loads with different characteristics.
  • Frequent operation duty — applications requiring frequent operations.
  • Repeated short-circuit interruption — occasions with multiple short-circuit current interruptions.

Installation Conditions

  • The circuit breaker is an indoor device for 3.6–12kV power systems, installed in the adapted cabinet, which measures 450 × 1000 × 1800 mm.
  • The forced mechanical interlocks between the isolating switch, circuit breaker and grounding switch must be verified, as they prevent misoperation.
  • The reliable interlocking structure between the cabinet door and the grounding switch must be checked to ensure operator safety.
  • Confirm the rotary isolating switch provides visible break points after opening, as this is part of the safety arrangement.
  • Where remote control is required, select AC/DC energy storage operation; otherwise manual operation can be used.

How to Select

  • The rated voltage within the 3.6–12kV range and the rated current of the circuit breaker.
  • Whether the adapted cabinet size of 450 × 1000 × 1800 mm suits the available space.
  • The properties of the load and whether operations will be frequent or include repeated short-circuit interruptions.
  • Whether operation will be manual or remote through AC/DC energy storage operation.
  • Whether the modular operating mechanism needs to be replaceable or overhauled independently.
