Core structure and characteristics of the product

1. Three core structures and advantages

Structure name, components, core advantages

High insulation strength material and precision contacts for vacuum arc extinguishing chamber 1. Strong short-circuit current breaking ability, suitable for rated short-circuit breaking current of 31.5kA;

2. Low contact resistance, reducing operating losses;

3. Excellent vacuum sealing, ensuring long-term reliable operation;

4. The average cut-off value is small, reducing the harm of cut-off voltage;

5. The contact burns less, extending its service life;

6. High insulation strength, able to withstand 95kV 1-minute power frequency voltage and 185kV lightning impulse voltage

Fully sealed pole vacuum arc extinguishing chamber, primary conductive circuit, insulation rod, epoxy resin shell 1. The primary conductive circuit is completely isolated from the external environment, with strong resistance to pollution and corrosion;

2. Avoid the influence of external dust and moisture on core components and achieve the requirement of "maintenance free";

3. Compact structure, reducing installation space occupation

Modular operating mechanism energy storage components, opening and closing drive components 1. Advanced process treatment, high resistance to pollution and corrosion, suitable for complex environments;

2. Simple operation logic, high reliability, and minimal maintenance frequency during the lifecycle;

3. Energy storage time ≤ 15s, meeting the needs of fast operation

2. Key performance highlights

High reliability: The mechanical lifespan can reach up to 30000 times, far exceeding that of ordinary vacuum circuit breakers, reducing the frequency of equipment replacement; The rated short-circuit breaking current has a breaking frequency of 50/E2/S2 times, meeting the breaking requirements for multiple short-circuit faults.

Quick response: The first trip opening time is ≤ 30ms, the closing time is ≤ 60ms, and the arcing time is ≤ 15ms, which can quickly cut off the fault current and reduce the impact range of the fault.

Precise control: The asynchronous opening of three-phase contacts is ≤ 2ms, and the bouncing time of contact closing is ≤ 3ms, ensuring the synchronization of three-phase operations and avoiding additional wear caused by contact bouncing.
