What are the performance characteristics of the canister circuit breaker?

High Insulation Performance:

  • High Insulation Performance: Whether using sulfur hexafluoride (SF6) gas or insulating oil as the insulating medium, tank-type circuit breakers possess a high level of insulation. They can withstand system operating voltages and various overvoltages, ensuring the safety of both equipment and personnel.

Strong Arc-Quenching Capability:

  • Strong Arc-Quenching Capability: The special design of the arc quenching chamber and the arc-quenching medium enable tank-type circuit breakers to rapidly extinguish arcs when interrupting short-circuit currents. This reduces the burn damage to the contacts, extends the electrical life and interrupting performance of the circuit breaker, and lowers the downtime and maintenance costs associated with faults.

Good Environmental Adaptability:

  • Good Environmental Adaptability: The enclosed tank structure provides excellent resistance to contamination, moisture, and windblown sand. This allows the circuit breaker to operate stably in various geographical environments and climatic conditions, making it suitable for outdoor substations, industrial and mining enterprises, and other locations.

FAQ
Q: What are the differences between this product and similar products from ABB/Siemens?
A:

The LW10B \ lLW36 \ LW58 series products in the sample booklet are porcelain column SF ₆ circuit breakers based on the ABB'LTB series improvement, with voltage coverage of 72.5kV-800kV, using Auto Buffer ™ Self powered arc extinguishing technology or vacuum arc extinguishing technology, integrated spring/motor driven operating mechanism, supports various customized services, covering 40.5-1100kV full voltage levels, with outstanding modular design and strong customization ability, suitable for projects that require flexible adaptation to different power grid architectures. Made in China, with fast global service response speed, high logistics efficiency, and high reliability at a reasonable price.

Q: What are the core differences between live tank circuit breakers and tank circuit breakers?
A:
  1. The core differences between porcelain column circuit breakers and tank circuit breakers—two main structural types of high-voltage circuit breakers—lie in six key aspects.
  2. Structurally, porcelain column types are supported by porcelain insulation pillars, with open-layout components like arc extinguishing chambers and operating mechanisms. Tank types use metal-sealed tanks to encapsulate and highly integrate all core parts.
  3. For insulation, the former relies on porcelain pillars, air, or composite insulating materials; the latter combines SF₆ gas (or other insulating gases) with metal tanks.
  4. Arc extinguishing chambers are mounted on the top or pillars of porcelain columns for the former, while built inside metal tanks for the latter.
  5. In application, porcelain column types suit outdoor high-voltage distribution with a dispersed layout; tank types adapt flexibly to indoor/outdoor scenarios, especially space-constrained environments.
  6. Maintenance-wise, the former’s exposed components enable targeted repairs; the latter’s sealed structure reduces overall maintenance frequency but requires full inspections for local faults.
  7. Technically, porcelain column types offer intuitive structure and strong anti-pollution flashover performance, while tank types boast excellent sealing, high SF₆ insulation strength, and superior resistance to external interference.
Q: What is a live tank circuit breaker? What voltage level is it suitable for they?
A:

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.
