Overview
The ZW7-40.5 outdoor high-voltage vacuum circuit breaker is designed for three-phase power systems with AC 50Hz and a voltage of 40.5kV, used for breaking and closing load current, overload current, and short-circuit current.
Main Functions
1. Vacuum arc extinction is adopted, featuring strong breaking capacity, long electrical life, and a mechanical life of 10,000 operations;
2. Simple structure, maintenance-free, and long maintenance-free period;
3. Good insulation performance and strong anti-pollution capability;
4. Can be equipped with spring or electromagnetic operating mechanisms, with reliable mechanical performance and capability for frequent operation; no fire or explosion hazards;
5. Built-in current transformers with measurement accuracy up to Class 0.2, enabling three-phase interactive protection;
6. Equipped with a condensation controller to ensure reliable operation of the circuit breaker under certain temperature and humidity conditions.
Operating Environmental Conditions
1. Ambient air temperature: upper limit +40°C, lower limit -30°C;
2. Altitude: ≤2000m (if a higher altitude is required, the rated insulation level shall be increased accordingly);
3. Wind pressure: not exceeding 700Pa (equivalent to a wind speed of 34m/s);
4. Amplitude: seismic intensity of 8 degrees;
5. Pollution level: Class III;
6. Maximum daily temperature difference: not exceeding 25°C.
