Product Detail

Description:

VD4-CS is the unique solution based on new vacuum interrupter technology and an innovative actuation systems up to 38kV, 1250A, 31.5kA and with superior noise-free performances, to support your business needs in reactive power compensation.Noise-free power quality by safe and reliable switching and protection of capacitor banks.

Key benefits:

  • Inrush elimination thanks to high accuracy in controlled switching technology.
  • Up to 5-times higher performance than the market standard with 10,000 maintenance-, inrush- and restrike-free operations.
  • Enables elimination of inrush limiting reactors and resistances, leading to significant cost and space savings.
  • Cost saving by as much as 20%, using same ratings, same interfaces of existing MV substation thanks to optimized footprint equivalent to standard distribution breakers.
  • Reduced total cost of capacitor bank operation due to elimination of downtime for breaker overhaul and a lifespan 5 times the market standard, with predictive health indication.
  • Fast and reliable support thanks to ABB’s global footprint.
  • Assets optimization having both circuit-breaker and capacitive switching devices in one single solution.
  • Enables increased lifespan of capacitors by more than 10% in e.g. 3 years.

Key features:

  • Embedded advanced diagnostics.
  • Up to 38 kV, 1250A, 31.5 kA.
  • 10,000 maintenance-free and noise-free operations.

The CB comprises of:

  • Three poles in epoxy resin containing the vacuum interrupter.
  • Three brushless servomotors, one per phase with double encoder.
  • Three electronic controllers, one per phase, communicating hierarchically with each otherand with the first unit controls the entire system.
  • An electronic supply unit.
  • A capacitor for storing the energy required to operate the CB in the absence of auxiliary supply.
  • Three sensors and three mechanical position indicators.

FAQ
Q: What inspections should be performed after a short-circuit fault in a vacuum circuit breaker?
A:
Check contact erosion: Minor erosion is acceptable (cumulative wear ≤3mm), but replace the vacuum interrupter if damage is severe. Test switching time and synchronization: Ensure values meet specifications to prevent operational issues caused by mechanism changes. Clean arc byproducts: Remove debris from the interrupter surface and inspect insulation components for impact damage or cracks.
Q: What are the differences between indoor vacuum circuit breakers and SF₆ circuit breakers?
A:
Arc-quenching medium: Vacuum circuit breakers use vacuum for arc quenching (environmentally friendly, no greenhouse gases), while SF₆ circuit breakers use SF₆ gas (requiring attention to gas leakage and environmental treatment). Volume and maintenance: Vacuum circuit breakers are smaller in size and have a longer maintenance cycle (the maintenance-free cycle can reach 10 years); SF₆ circuit breakers require regular detection of gas pressure.

What is the difference between a dielectric and an insulator?
Dielectrics and insulators are distinguished primarily by their applications. One of the main differences is that a dielectric can store electrical energy by becoming polarized in an electric field, whereas an insulator resists the flow of electrons to prevent current conduction. Other key differences between them are outlined in the comparison chart below.Definition of DielectricA dielectric material is a type of insulator that contains few or no free electrons. When subjected to an electric fi

Fault Analysis and Treatment of Oil-Immersed Transformers
Oil Leakage at Welded JointsOil leakage at welded joints primarily stems from poor welding quality, such as incomplete or detached welds, and defects like pinholes and gas pores. Although oil-immersed transformers are initially coated with solder and paint during manufacturing, potentially masking these issues temporarily, the defects tend to surface during operation. Additionally, electromagnetic vibration can cause weld cracks, leading to oil leakage.To resolve such leaks, the first critical s

What losses occur during operation of the transformer? How to reduce losses?
Transformers experience various types of losses during operation, primarily categorized into two main types: copper losses and iron losses.Copper LossesCopper losses, also known as I²R losses, are caused by the electrical resistance of the transformer windings—typically made of copper. As current flows through the windings, energy is dissipated in the form of heat. These losses are proportional to the square of the load current (I²R), meaning they increase significantly with high
