Upon trip signal, trip spring drives the integrated moving assembly (cylinder, moving arc contact & connecting rod) downward. Main contacts separate first, shifting circuit current onto closed arc contacts; arc generates once arc contacts part.
For short-circuit breaking, massive arc energy heats surrounding SF₆ gas and feeds high-temperature airflow into thermal expansion chamber to build high-pressure cold gas, closing the check valve. At current zero-crossing, high-pressure gas blasts across contact gap to quench arc efficiently. Meanwhile, compression chamber’s excess pressure opens bottom elastic pressure relief valve to release redundant gas pressure, drastically cutting required operating work of the spring mechanism and optimizing breaking performance.
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.
