Product type
A vacuum circuit breaker is a type of electrical switchgear used to protect electrical circuits from overloads and short circuits. It operates by isolating the circuit in a vacuum environment, which allows for efficient arc quenching and minimal maintenance. These devices are typically made from high-quality insulating materials and are designed to operate in high-voltage applications.
| Rated voltage | Up to 36 kV |
| Rated current | Up to 4000 A |
| Interrupting capacity | Up to 31.5 kA |
| Operating mechanism | Spring-operated or hydraulic |
| Insulation type | Air or solid insulation |
| Mounting type | Indoor or outdoor |
When selecting a vacuum circuit breaker, consider the rated voltage and current requirements of your application. It's important to specify the interrupting capacity needed to handle potential fault currents. Additionally, check for compliance with relevant standards and certifications, and consider the operating mechanism type that best suits your operational needs. Be prepared to provide information on quantities and specific installation environments.
