Description

Equipped with CT-type spring mechanism, this outdoor live tank SF₆ breaker serves 50Hz three-phase grid for circuit control and protection, allowing single/three-pole switching and auto-reclosing.

With three-phase post porcelain structure and self-blast arc extinction, SF₆ fills all poles for insulation and arc quenching. Pointer density relay tracks gas status. Compact, low-power, low-noise and easy to install; customization supported.

Core Advantages

  • Three-phase post porcelain construction: Single shared spring mechanism for synchronized three-pole operation, neat compact layout for outdoor installation.

  • Integrated SF₆ gas system: Interconnected gas chambers across three poles; SF₆ serves as insulation & arc-quenching medium to guarantee steady performance.

  • Pointer density relay: Real-time SF₆ pressure & density monitoring for early fault warning and safe running.

  • Self-blast arc extinction: Lower required operating power and improved mechanical efficiency.

  • Customization available: Tailored design to satisfy individual project requirements, consult our sales team for details.

Frequently asked questions

In a live tank breaker, the arc chamber is mounted at the top or side of the column, exposed to ambient air. In a dead tank breaker, the arc chamber is placed inside the metal tank, fully sealed.

ABB’s high-voltage live-tank vacuum breakers are reliable but costly with long lead times. Hitachi Energy is mature yet lacks local high-voltage track records and smart features. Schneider Electric excels in 40.5kV distribution but is limited in voltage range and extreme performance. In contrast, Rockwill offers up to 363kV SF₆-free vacuum solutions with fast local service and spare parts delivery. Featuring robust mechanisms, full smart functions, and superior resistance to extreme cold, heavy salt fog, and short-circuit currents, our breakers ensure long maintenance-free service and lower LCC.

Q:Can Rockwill custom-engineer or modify Live tank Vacuum circuit breaker specifications to meet project-specific requirements?

A:
Rockwill provides comprehensive customized design and parameter modification for live tank vacuum circuit breakers to meet diverse project requirements. Backed by our professional R&D team, we flexibly adjust product structures, technical parameters and environmental adaptability, delivering exclusive tailored solutions in line with various on-site conditions and project standards.
