Description

Product Introduction

VD4 series is a high-performance withdrawable indoor vacuum circuit breaker specially designed for 12kV, 50Hz three-phase AC medium-voltage power distribution systems. Adopting advanced vacuum interrupter technology and integrated spring operating mechanism, it provides reliable switching, isolation, overload and short-circuit protection for power distribution equipment.
Featuring compact structure, flexible rack-in/rack-out trolley design, frequent operation capability and standard IEC auto-reclosing performance, the breaker enables convenient maintenance and stable power supply. It fully complies with IEC 62271-1 and IEC 62271-100 international standards, widely applicable for substations, industrial plants, commercial complexes and public infrastructure power distribution projects.

 Features

The product offers multiple significant advantages, which can fully meet the diverse needs of industrial and power systems. Specifically included are:

 Excellent Electrical Performance of Fully Enclosed Pole

The main circuit of the VSV series vacuum circuit breaker adopts a fully enclosed structure, available in two types: insulated cylinder or solid pole.

Insulated Cylinder Structure:

The main electrical components are longitudinally installed in an epoxy resin cylinder cast via the APG process. This structure offers superior arc resistance, anti-aging properties, and high mechanical strength. It effectively shields the vacuum interrupter from external factors such as mechanical impacts and environmental pollution while enhancing the conductive circuit’s capability to withstand rated short-term (peak) withstand currents.

Sealed Pole Structure (P Series):

The miniaturized vacuum interrupter and other main circuit components are directly sealed in epoxy resin using advanced APG technology. This not only simplifies the pole assembly process and improves the reliability of the vacuum interrupter’s conductive circuit but also protects the interrupter’s outdoor surface from external mechanical forces and environmental influences.

 Corrosion-Resistant Mechanism with Advanced Design

  • Structural components undergo super anti-corrosion and anti-salt spray zinc-nickel alloy treatment.
  • Transmission parts are treated with high-hardness, wear-resistant, and corrosion-resistant nickel-phosphorus alloy.
  • International brand INA oil-free graphite bearings are used for transmission, ensuring high strength and excellent wear resistance.

 C2-Level Circuit Breaker Compliance

During capacitive current interruption, the breaker exhibits an extremely low probability of re-strike, fully meeting the requirements for C2-level circuit breakers.

 E2-Level Circuit Breaker Certification

The breaker has passed all type tests at Shenyang High Voltage Apparatus Research Institute and High Voltage Apparatus Research Institute. It meets IEC E2 maintenance-free class requirements as follows:

  • 30 operations with full-rated short-circuit current for low-current breakers.
  • 20 operations with full-rated short-circuit current for high-current breakers.
