HV Vacuum Circuit Breakers (72KV)

Property Specification

Type: High-Voltage Outdoor Modular Solid-Insulated Vacuum Circuit Breaker ( Up to 72.5 kV, 2500 A, 31.5 kA)

Features: Engineered with environmentally friendly solid-dielectric insulation and fully sealed vacuum interrupters, completely eliminating SF6 gas emissions and oil leakage risks. Delivers exceptional electrical performance with a 325 kV BIL impulse rating, 140 kV power-frequency withstand, and a robust steel spring operating mechanism. Designed with vandal-resistant polymeric outdoor bushings that provide superior creepage and durability in harsh environments. Offers low lifecycle costs, minimal maintenance requirements,

Applications: Configurable in 1-pole (42 kV) and 2-pole (42 kV) layouts for railway catenary/traction power feeder substations, as well as a 3-pole (72.5 kV) format for utility transmission grids, step-up/step-down substations, industrial power distribution, and renewable energy (wind/solar) interconnection systems.
