Frequently asked questions

live tank circuit breaker is a structural form of high-voltage circuit breaker, which is characterized by the use of ceramic insulation pillars to support key components such as arc extinguishing chamber and operating mechanism. The arc extinguishing chamber is usually arranged on the top or pillar of the ceramic pillar. It is mainly suitable for medium and high voltage power systems, with voltage levels covering the range of 72.5 kV to 1100 kV. live tank circuit breakers are common control and protection equipment in outdoor distribution devices such as 110 kV, 220 kV, 550 kV, and 800 kV substations.

A live tank breaker (also called a porcelain column breaker) mounts its core components on top of porcelain insulators with an open, visible layout. A dead tank breaker encloses all core parts — including the arc extinguishing chamber and current path — inside a grounded metal tank, achieving a highly integrated and compact structure.

It features compact footprint, high insulation level, intelligent secondary control & monitoring. The annual SF₆ leakage rate is less than 0.5% with a 30‑year maintenance cycle for substation outdoor application.
