Indoor AC Vacuum Circuit Breaker (with Isolation)


The UN5-40.5(G)-T1250A-31.5kA series indoor vacuum circuit breakers with isolation are suitable for transmission networks of wind and photovoltaic generators operating at 50 Hz, 3-phase AC, with a rated voltage of 40.5 kV. They can interrupt load currents, overload currents, and short-circuit currents. Specifically designed for 35 kV packaged substations, these circuit breakers can also be used as standalone electrical units in power systems (installed in switchgear cabinets or wall-mounted), and are compatible with distribution equipment, ring main units, or combined substations.

▎Product Features


The arc-extinguishing chamber employs a vacuum interrupter, and the vacuum arc-extinguishing chamber is encapsulated in epoxy resin to form a solid-insulated pole. The wall-through solid-insulated pole is installed horizontally. The moving end of the pole is connected to the outgoing terminal via a flexible connection, while the stationary end of the pole is linked to the pivot point of the disconnecting switch’s moving blade. This arrangement effectively separates the disconnecting switch and the earthing switch into two independent compartments, ensuring that the circuit breaker can be safely maintained even when de-energized. This product features a novel design, a compact structure, long service life, reliable operation, small size, convenient operation and maintenance, and high safety.
1. The product components feature modular design, and the cabinet’s “five-protection” system is simple, reliable, and consistent.
2. The arc-extinguishing chamber circuit is encapsulated using high-quality epoxy resin material. The partial discharge level of each encapsulated pole is ≤5 pC (at 45 kV), enhancing the circuit breaker’s adaptability and reliability in harsh environments and ensuring maintenance-free operation throughout its service life.
3. The integrated design of the isolating switch, circuit breaker switch, and grounding switch results in a high-voltage vacuum circuit breaker with a clearly visible isolation gap.
4. The panel features a single-line analog marking design that is simple and easy to understand, helping to prevent accidental operation.
5. A current transformer can be installed on the outgoing side of the switchgear, allowing for a smaller cabinet or packaged substation size.
6. It can be equipped with a smart online monitoring unit and diagnostic system; the operating status of the switch can be remotely accessed via a communication module.

 

▎Safety Design


The indoor high-voltage AC vacuum circuit breaker with isolation features is equipped with sophisticated mechanical and electrical interlocking devices, ensuring exceptionally high operational reliability and a long service life. When paired with the corresponding outdoor switchgear, it can reliably perform safe power distribution functions, thereby guaranteeing the safety of both operators and equipment.
