Core Product Features 

  • 3mm Stainless Steel Tank, Low Weld Seams & Internal Arc Resistance:High-quality stainless steel enclosure minimizes corrosion risks; withstands full internal arc faults without hot gas ejection to secure field operators.

  • Patented Spiral Spring Operating Mechanism:Independent spring unit with ROCKWILL® proprietary spiral spring, stable opening/closing speed to guarantee reliable load breaking and short-circuit making performance.

  • High-Visibility Reflective Position Indicator:Shaft-linked reflective marker, clear ON/OFF identification from ground level day and night, even under heavy rain or fog.

  • Full Sealed SF6 Gas Monitoring & Lock-out Protection:Hermetic gas chamber equipped with density switch, density gauge and low-pressure lock-out mechanism to prevent insulation failure from gas loss.

  • Optional Intelligent Secondary Control Terminal:Matching outdoor control box integrates full electrical monitoring, fault recording and remote control for unattended distribution automation.

  • IP67 Mechanism Box & Wide Environmental Adaptability:IP67 protection grade, operates stably from -40°C to +60°C, suitable for installation altitude up to 2500m.

  • SF6 Pressure Slight Drop But Not Yet at Lockout Value — Can It Continue Long-Term Loaded Operation?
    No, long-term loaded operation is not permitted. A slight SF6 pressure drop that has not yet reached the lockout value only indicates the equipment temporarily retains the capability for loaded operation. However, enhanced monitoring is mandatory and an outage for corrective action must be requested promptly. Continued long-term operation poses severe safety hazards. Core Principle: SF6 Dual Functions & Graded ProtectionSF6 gas in high-voltage switchgear (circuit breakers, GIS, etc.) perform
