Description

Product Description

The RHD-252KV Dead-Tank SF6 Circuit Breaker, is a high-reliability high-voltage electrical device tailored for 220kV and above power transmission and transformation systems. As a core product of the RHD series, it inherits the series’ excellent industrial quality and integrates advanced high-voltage technologies. Its primary functions include distributing combined load currents, interrupting fault currents promptly, and realizing effective control, measurement, and protection of transmission lines. With a compact dead-tank structure that encapsulates key components in a metal casing filled with SF6 gas, the breaker ensures stable operation even in harsh environments, making it an ideal choice for upgrading high-voltage power grids.

Key Features

  1. Superior Seismic Resistance:Adopting a low-center-of-gravity design, the breaker can withstand an earthquake intensity of up to 9 degrees, ensuring stable performance in seismic-prone areas' consistent with the RHD series' proven anti-seismic capability.

  2. Excellent Arc-Extinguishing Performance & Long Service Life:Leveraging the high arc-extinguishing efficiency of SF6 gas, the breaker achieves a rated short-circuit breaking current of ≥50kA. It boasts an electrical life of more than 20 operations and a mechanical life of up to 10,000 cycles, significantly reducing equipment replacement and maintenance costs.

  3. Low SF6 Gas Leakage Rate:The hermetic metal tank structure minimizes SF6 gas leakage, with an annual leakage rate of ≤1%--far below industry averages. This design not only avoids safety hazards from gas leakage but also reduces environmental impact.

  4. Modular Design & Flexible Expansion:It supports on-demand configuration of built-in current transformers (CTs), with up to 15 CTs available for measurement or protection purposes. The standardized module interface allows flexible combination to meet diverse substation design and layout requirements, especially suitable for space-constrained scenarios.

  5. Strong Environmental Adaptability:The breaker operates stably in extreme conditions: ambient temperature ranging from -40℃ to +55℃, maximum daily temperature difference of 32K, altitude up to 3,000m, and air pollution level up to Class IV. It also resists wind pressure of 700Pa (equivalent to 34m/s wind speed) and icing thickness of up to 20mm.

  6. Comprehensive Safety Protection:Equipped with anti-misoperation interlocking devices, it effectively prevents accidents caused by incorrect operations. Before delivery, the breaker undergoes lightning impulse tests to eliminate insulation discharge risks from production and assembly, ensuring reliable quality.

  7. Maintenance-Free Operating Mechanism:It adopts a spring-operated mechanism that is oil-free, gas-free, and maintenance-free. This mechanism delivers stable performance, low noise, and high reliability, reducing long-term operational workload.

  8. Compliance with International Standards:The product fully meets the requirements of GB/T 1984 and IEC 62271-100 standards, ensuring compatibility with global high-voltage power grid systems and facilitating international project applications..

FAQ
Q: How to choose the voltage level of high-voltage sulfur hexafluoride circuit breaker?
A:

1. Select the circuit breaker corresponding to the voltage level based on the power grid level
The standard voltage (12/24/40.5/72.5/126/170/245/363/420/550/800/1100kV) is matched with the corresponding nominal voltage of the power grid. For example, for a 35kV power grid, a 40.5kV circuit breaker is selected. According to standards such as GB/T 1984/IEC 62271-100, the rated voltage is ensured to be ≥ the maximum operating voltage of the power grid.
2. Applicable scenarios for non-standard customized voltage
Non standard customized voltage (11/22/44/52/132/230/275/300/345/400/380/765kV) is used for special power grids, such as the renovation of old power grids and specific industrial power scenarios. Due to the lack of suitable standard voltage, manufacturers need to customize according to power grid parameters, and after customization, insulation and arc extinguishing performance must be verified.
3. The consequences of selecting the wrong voltage level
Choosing a low voltage level can cause insulation breakdown, leading to SF leakage and equipment damage; Choosing a high voltage level significantly increases costs, increases operational difficulties, and may also result in performance mismatch issues.

Q: What is the difference between vacuum circuit breaker and SF6 circuit breaker?
A:
  1. Their core difference is arc-extinguishing media: Vacuum breakers use high vacuum (10⁻⁴~10⁻⁶Pa) for insulation and arc extinction; SF₆ breakers rely on SF₆ gas, which adsorbs electrons well to quench arcs.
  2. In voltage adaptation: Vacuum breakers fit medium-low voltages (10kV, 35kV; some up to 110kV), rarely 220kV+. SF₆ breakers suit high-ultra high voltages (110kV~1000kV), mainstream for ultra-high voltage grids.
  3. For performance: Vacuum breakers extinguish arcs fast (<10ms), have 63kA~125kA breaking capacity, suit frequent use (e.g., power distribution) with long life (>10,000 cycles). SF₆ breakers excel in stable large/inductive current breaking but work less frequently, needing insulation recovery time post-extinction.
  4. Compared to SF6 gas circuit breakers, vacuum circuit breakers can achieve zero greenhouse gas emissions and are more environmentally friendly because the arc extinguishing device does not contain any gas
