VTD5-(12/24)40.5 Vacuum Circuit Breaker for GIS - Quality China Suppliers & Factory Solutions

Overview of Vacuum Circuit Breaker
Our vacuum circuit breaker features a horizontal layout, providing an efficient sealing flange plate that serves as the benchmark for installation and sealing. Designed for reliability, it incorporates an advanced electric spring operating mechanism with a three-pole linkage, allowing for both electric and manual operation. As a leading manufacturer in China, our factory produces high-quality circuit breakers that meet the demands of various applications. Partner with us to access top-notch products from trusted suppliers in the industry.

    General
    For vacuum circuit breakers with a rated current of 2000 A and above, a high-strength insulating plate holding the vacuum interrupter will be used, which is mounted on the flange plate.
    In contrast, for those with a rated current below 1600 A, an APG enclosed-type structure is adopted. This structure fixes the vacuum interrupter (VXG) onto the flange plate using a fixed plate.
    The opening and closing operation is achieved through the connection of the vacuum interrupter's dynamic side to the insulating rod, and the stainless steel sealing bellows connecting the crank arm, rod, down crank arm, and mechanism. All secondary cables are connected to an aerial socket, which facilitates convenient secondary wiring.
    Vacuum circuit breaker has the function that open, rated current and open circuit and close short circuit current.

    Maintenance
    The vacuum circuit breaker should be subject to an annual power-off inspection and maintenance to ensure normal operation. The inspection should cover the following aspects:
    • a Perform a power frequency withstand voltage test on the tube, measure the vacuum level, and record the results.
    • b Conduct a power frequency withstand voltage test on the insulating components.
    • c Test the breaker's contact gap, contact travel, and mechanical characteristics, and record the results.
    • d Inspect the connecting bolts, nuts, and other adjustable parts of the connections for any signs of loosening, especially the small screws at the auxiliary switch lever and the locking nuts connected to the vacuum tube's moving conductor rod.
    • e Check the retaining rings, pins, and other components at the rotating joints for any signs of loosening or disengagement; apply lubricating grease to the rotating and sliding parts.
    • f For vacuum circuit breakers used with currents exceeding 1,600 A, perform a direct current (DC) resistance test on each pole and record the results.
    • g If tube replacement is required, follow the instructions in the product manual. After replacement, conduct mechanical characteristic tests and withstand voltage tests.
    • h After the annual inspection and before commissioning, perform 8 to 10 no-load operations to ensure everything is functioning normally before commissioning.
    Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
    What structural differences exist between models above 2000 A and below 1600 A?
    Vacuum circuit breakers rated at 2000 A and above use a high-strength insulating plate mounted on the flange plate to hold the vacuum interrupter. Models rated below 1600 A utilize an APG enclosed-type structure that secures the vacuum interrupter (VXG) to the flange plate via a fixed plate.
    What rated voltage levels does this vacuum circuit breaker support?
    This vacuum circuit breaker series supports standard rated voltage levels of 12 kV, 24 kV, and 40.5 kV.
    What is the mechanical life of this vacuum circuit breaker?
    The mechanical life of the equipment is rated for up to 10,000 operation cycles under standard operating conditions.
    How often should maintenance and inspection be performed?
    The vacuum circuit breaker should undergo a comprehensive power-off inspection and maintenance annually to ensure operational reliability and safety.
    What special requirement applies to breakers operating above 1600 A during maintenance?
    For vacuum circuit breakers operating with currents exceeding 1600 A, a direct current (DC) resistance test must be performed on each pole and accurately recorded during the annual inspection.
    What procedure must be carried out after replacing a vacuum tube?
    After replacing the tube according to the product manual, you must conduct mechanical characteristic tests and power frequency withstand voltage tests, followed by 8 to 10 no-load operations prior to commissioning.
