Feature:
1.This circuit breaker utilizes vacuum interrupters as the arc quenching medium. Vacuum interrupters are highly efficient in extinguishing arcs and provide excellent dielectric strength, ensuring reliable interruption of medium-voltage currents.
2.The ZW8-12 circuit breaker features a compact and modular design, allowing for easier installation, maintenance, and integration into switchgear assemblies. The compact size also helps optimize space utilization in electrical installations.
3.The circuit breaker is designed to handle high breaking capacities, allowing it to interrupt short circuits and fault currents safely. The breaking capacity of the ZW8-12 circuit breaker is typically specified by the manufacturer.
4.The ZW8-12 circuit breaker is engineered for reliable operation and has undergone rigorous testing to ensure its performance and durability. It incorporates high-quality materials and precision-engineered components to ensure stable and efficient switching operations.
5.Safety Features: The circuit breaker is equipped with safety features to enhance operator and system safety. These may include interlocking mechanisms to prevent incorrect operation, mechanical and electrical indicators to provide status information, and safety shutters to prevent accidental contact with live parts.
6.Remote Control and Monitoring: Depending on the specific model and manufacturer, the ZW8-12 circuit breaker may support remote control and monitoring capabilities. This allows for convenient operation and monitoring of the circuit breaker from a central control room or through a supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA) system, enhancing system management and maintenance.
Structure:
1.Mold-based One-time Stretching Forming Technology: The upper cover of the enclosure is manufactured using advanced one-time stretching forming technology, which ensures a high level of mechanical strength, an IP4X protection rating, and an aesthetically pleasing appearance. This technology also facilitates easy installation. Additionally, the enclosure is resistant to rust and corrosion. Users have the option to choose between stainless steel or high-quality steel plate spray treatment.
2.Disconnecting Switch (Optional): The ZW32-12 vacuum circuit breaker offers an optional disconnecting switch feature. This switch is specifically designed based on the ZW8 switch body unit. It serves as a convenient and clearly visible disconnect point during distribution line maintenance. To prevent misoperation, a mechanical interlocking device is incorporated between the disconnecting switch and the circuit breaker. This ensures enhanced safety and minimizes the risk of accidental operations.
