Features

1. High-voltage and high-capacity compatibility:

The insulation structure has undergone multiple reinforcement treatments, withstanding the test of 12kV high-voltage insulation. With a rated current up to 3150A and a short-circuit breaking current of up to 40kA, it can accommodate the needs of extremely large load access and high-current transmission on main lines.

2. Compact high-voltage design:

Compared to traditional open-type equipment of the same voltage level, the cabinet volume is reduced by more than 55%. The layered layout optimizes space utilization, allowing direct installation in underground distribution rooms, high-rise building power distribution rooms, and other space-constrained scenarios, significantly reducing construction costs.

3. Deep intelligent linkage:

It supports deep linkage with power grid dispatching systems, new energy control platforms, and enterprise production dispatching systems. It possesses functions such as power quality analysis, load forecasting, and remote precise regulation and control, enabling refined management and unmanned operation and maintenance of the distribution network.

4. Long-term stable operation:

The core components are made of military-grade aging-resistant materials, and the sealing structure adopts a dual-channel waterproof and dustproof design. The mean time between failures (MTBF) is over 120,000 hours, supporting frequent operation and adapting to the continuous operation requirements of high-voltage distribution networks.

Execution standards: GB/T 3906-2020, IEC 62271-201; Rated current: 1600A-3150A; Short-circuit breaking current: 31.5kA-40kA; Protection level: IP4X (IP55 for outdoor type); Installation methods: Indoor floor-mounted, outdoor prefabricated (integrated with box transformer), embedded in underground distribution room; Optional configurations: Vacuum circuit breaker, power quality monitoring module, fire linkage device, intelligent energy storage operating mechanism.
