Product Introduction

LV circuit breakers for protecting pole-mounted distribution transformers are specialized low-voltage electrical devices designed to safeguard pole-mounted transformers—critical components in overhead power distribution networks. These breakers monitor and interrupt abnormal currents (overloads, short circuits, or ground faults) to prevent transformer damage, extend equipment lifespan, and maintain stable power supply to downstream users. They are installed near pole-mounted transformers in residential, rural, and light industrial areas, acting as a first line of defense against electrical faults that could cause transformer failure or network outages.

Features

• Transformer-Specific Protection Parameters：Calibrated to match the current and voltage ratings of pole-mounted distribution transformers (typically 10–500 kVA), ensuring precise fault detection without unnecessary tripping. Optimized to handle transformer inrush currents during startup, preventing false trips.

• Rapid Fault Response：Equipped with fast-acting trip mechanisms (millisecond response times) to interrupt faults before excessive current damages transformer windings, insulation, or core components. Minimizes fault duration to reduce thermal and mechanical stress on transformers.

• Pole-Mount Compatibility：Compact, weather-resistant design tailored for installation near pole-mounted transformers. Withstands outdoor conditions (rain, dust, temperature swings) via corrosion-resistant enclosures and sealed components, ensuring reliability in exposed environments.

• Multi-Function Protection：Integrates overload protection (prevents overheating from sustained high currents), short-circuit protection (blocks destructive fault currents), and optional ground fault protection (detects leakage currents to earth, critical for transformer safety).

• Remote Monitoring Capability (Advanced Models)：Some variants include digital trip units with communication features (e.g., IoT connectivity) to transmit fault data, status updates, and alerts to grid management systems. Enables proactive maintenance and faster fault resolution for pole-mounted transformer networks.

• Easy Integration & Maintenance：Designed for simple mounting on transformer poles or adjacent structures, with user-friendly interfaces for setting adjustments. Accessible terminals and modular components simplify installation, testing, and replacement—reducing downtime during maintenance.
