Vacuum circuit breaker: a great defender

What is vacuum circuit breaker in electrical? Few people would ask that question. If you do have this question, congratulations, you are about to learn a little more about the power industry! Have you ever seen vacuum circuit breakers in reality before?

I guess the answer might be no.

Actually the vacuum circuit breakers are guaranteeing the normal life of us every day. They are hidden in the corners of life. Shaanxi West Power Tongzhong Electrical Co., Ltd - a professional manufacturer of vacuum circuit breakers would willing to talk more about this great defender:

 

With the development of science and technology, the electrical power system has become an very necessary and important part of our society. The power system facilities are already spread all over the world and have become an important foundation for our lives and social development. Vacuum circuit breakers, as important equipment in electrical systems, are widely used in power grids.

Taking our XDTZ's VTZ series as an example, depending on the configuration, VTZ series vacuum circuit breakers can be used in power grid systems ranging from 6 to 40.5kV to prevent damage to the power system due to overload or short circuit.

Specifically, vacuum circuit breakers have at least four functions:

1. Current interruption: When the current exceeds the preset value or a fault occurs, Vacuum circuit breaker can quickly cut off the circuit to prevent damage to equipment and lines.

2. Arc extinguishing function: When disconnecting the circuit, Vacuum circuit breaker uses vacuum as the arc extinguishing medium, which can fast extinguish the arc and ensure that the arc will not continue to exist, ensuring safety.

3. Grid stability: By promptly cutting off faulty circuits, Vacuum circuit breaker helps maintain grid stability and prevent larger scale power failures.

4. Equipment protection: Effectively protect other devices connected to the same circuit from the impact of abnormal current fluctuations.

5. Safety guarantee: By isolating the fault area, ensure the safety of personnel and equipment, and avoid the occurrence of power accidents.

 

Now let's take a look at the vacuum circuit breaker! (Taking XDTZ's VTZ series products as an example)
