    FAQs

    What are the core differences between 10KV VS1 circuit breaker and 7.2KV VS1 circuit breaker, and can they be used interchangeably?

    The core differences lie in the rated voltage, breaking capacity, and scene positioning, which are not interchangeable. The 10KV model has a higher rated voltage (10KV vs 7.2KV) and a larger breaking capacity (40~63kA vs 31.5~50kA), focusing on core scenarios such as heavy distribution network main lines and large substation outgoing lines, with stronger insulation level and anti-interference ability; The 7.2KV model focuses on the edge of high-voltage distribution networks and large industrial heavy-duty branches, and adapts the breaking capacity and insulation level to meet the requirements of edge scenarios. Forcefully swapping can lead to arc extinguishing failure, equipment burnout, and even cause faults in the high-voltage distribution network backbone. It is necessary to strictly select the corresponding model according to the actual rated voltage of the circuit.

    Can this product be used in outdoor high-voltage distribution network scenarios?

    Sure. This product supports floor to ceiling installation and can be used with simple outdoor protective cabinets. It also optimizes the sealing and anti-corrosion structure and can adapt to outdoor environments with high humidity, high pollution, and large temperature differences. It has good rain, dust, and condensation resistance and can be directly used in urban distribution network outdoor main branches, industrial park outdoor main distribution, and other scenarios. During installation, it needs to be equipped with outdoor special protective devices to ensure long-term stable operation of the equipment and comply with outdoor high-voltage electrical equipment operation standards.

    Can the intelligent monitoring module monitor the vacuum degree of the arc extinguishing chamber? How to handle any abnormalities?

    Sure. The optional intelligent monitoring module of this product can monitor the vacuum degree of the arc extinguishing chamber in real time. When the vacuum degree drops to the warning value, it will immediately send a fault alarm signal and accurately feedback abnormal information. Solution: Immediately stop the equipment operation, cut off the power supply of the equipment, contact professional personnel to test the arc extinguishing chamber. If the vacuum degree cannot be restored, the arc extinguishing chamber should be replaced in a timely manner. Do not disassemble or continue to use it by yourself to avoid safety hazards such as arc extinguishing failure and equipment failure.

    The product has a long mechanical lifespan. What aspects should be focused on for daily maintenance?

    Daily maintenance focuses on four points: ① Operating mechanism: Clean and lubricate every six months, check the energy storage status, mechanical transmission components, and interlocking devices to avoid jamming and interlocking failure; ② Arc extinguishing chamber and insulation components: Regularly observe the appearance of the arc extinguishing chamber, check whether the insulation cylinder is damaged or has crawling marks, and conduct insulation performance and vacuum degree testing once a year; ③ Wiring terminals: Check the tightness of the terminals to avoid loose connections that may cause poor contact or local overheating, and conduct regular temperature checks; ④ Intelligent monitoring module: Regularly calibrate monitoring data, check communication interfaces, ensure normal remote monitoring and control functions, and adapt to automation operation and maintenance needs.

    Does the product support reclosing operation, and how many reclosing operations can be performed at most?

    Support reclosing operation and adapt to the fast recovery requirements of high-voltage distribution network backbone faults. This product can preset the reclosing logic (primary reclosing, secondary reclosing), and can perform up to 2 reclosing operations. The reclosing time can be adjusted according to the scene requirements (0.5-3s), which can effectively deal with transient faults of high-voltage distribution network main lines (such as lightning strikes and instantaneous short circuits), quickly restore power supply, reduce power outage time, and improve the reliability of high-voltage distribution network power supply. At the same time, it can automatically reset after reclosing operation without manual intervention.
