Description

Description

LW35 serial circuit breakers, including LW35-72.5, LW35-126, LW35-145 and LW35-252 products, are designed with self-energizing principle that arc generated in the interrupter is distinguished at a specified time with a part of energy produced by the arc itself. They are used for making and breaking normal current, fault current and switching lines to realize the operation (three-pole opening & closing operation and fast automatic-reclosing operation),  control and protection of power system.

Main Features

  • Less consumption of SF6 gas, benefitial for environmental protection. When other kinds of circuit breaker at 0.6 MPa must be filled with SF6 of 27 kg/set, this kind of circuit breaker only need 19.3 kg/set.

  • Dynamic sealing system adopts advanced Glyd-ring and Step seal to reduce starting friction and prevent leakage.

  • Adopt imported control valve of stable performance and anti-slow-opening function in case of pressure loss.

  • Two sets of independent opening control circuit are adopted in hydraulic mechanism with two sets of relay protection to enhance service reliability.

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.

    Impact of DC Bias in Transformers at Renewable Energy Stations Near UHVDC Grounding ElectrodesWhen the grounding electrode of an Ultra-High-Voltage Direct Current (UHVDC) transmission system is located close to a renewable energy power station, the return current flowing through the earth can cause a rise in ground potential around the electrode area. This ground potential rise leads to a shift in the neutral-point potential of nearby power transformers, inducing DC bias (or DC offset) in their
