| Model NO. | 40.5kV GIS Sf6 Break Switch Circuit Breaker for Gas Insulated Switchgear |
| Rated voltage | 40.5kV |
| Rated normal current | 630A |
| Rated short circuit breaking current | 25kA |
| Series | RNK-40.5 |
This 40.5kV circuit breaker is a core component of gas-insulated switchgear (GIS), utilizing SF6 gas for superior insulation and arc-quenching performance. Designed for medium-to-high voltage grids, it delivers fast, reliable breaking and switching operations to protect against overcurrents and short circuits.
Its compact, sealed structure minimizes footprint, resists environmental factors (dust, moisture, extreme temps), and reduces maintenance needs. Equipped with advanced mechanical interlocks and smart monitoring compatibility, it ensures safe, precise operation—critical for substations, urban power grids, and industrial facilities. Compliant with IEC 62271 and GB standards, it offers long service life and stable performance, making it a trusted choice for efficient grid management.
The main circuit of the high-voltage gas-insulated switchgear accessories is 630A-20kA (4S) and 25kA (3S), with a mechanical life of 10000 cycles. The current of the grounding circuit is 20kA (2S), and the mechanical life is 2000 cycles.
Considerations for the use of environmental conditions
The altitude is not more than 1000m, and the crack degree is not more than 8 degrees.Pollution level: ll
The environmental temperature of the product is -40 degrees ~+140 DEG C, therelative humidity is not greater than 90% per day, and the average is not more than90% per month;
The installation site of frequent and violent shock, water vapor, chemical corrosiondeposition, salt fog, dust, dirt and fire, which obviously affect the performance of themechanism, are not suitable for the installation of explosive dangerous installations.
