It is highly suitable for operations requiring frequent current switching or multiple short-circuit current interruptions.
Which international and national standards does this circuit breaker comply with?
The VT19 circuit breaker complies with IEC62271-100:2008 (High-voltage switchgear and controlgear), GB/T1984-2014 (AC High-Voltage Circuit Breakers), JB/T3855-2008, and DLT403-2000 standards.
What are the altitude limits for the VT19 circuit breaker?
Under normal service conditions, the maximum altitude is ≤ 1000m for the VT19-14/24kV model, and ≤ 2000m for the VT19-40.5EP model. For higher altitudes, please consult the manufacturer.
What is the mechanical life expectancy of the VT19 series?
Most models in the VT19-12 and VT19-24 series feature a mechanical life of up to 30,000 operations. The high-capacity VT19-12 50kA model is rated for 20,000 operations.
Is forced cooling required for any specific current ratings?
Yes, the 4000A rated current model requires forced cold wind cooling for safe and optimal operation.
What installation configurations are available for these circuit breakers?
The VT19 series features an integrated operating mechanism and breaker body. It is available as a fixed installation unit or can be configured as a withdrawable handcart/trolley type to suit different switchgear cabinet widths (such as 550mm, 650mm, 880mm, or 1000mm).
