    FAQs

    What are the core differences between the 15KV VS1 circuit breaker and the 12KV and 20KV models?

    The core difference lies in scene localization and parameter adaptation, which are not interchangeable. The 15KV model focuses on medium to high voltage transition scenarios, filling the gap between 12KV and 20KV, with parameters between the two (breaking current 40~50kA), suitable for transitional distribution networks in medium-sized energy stations, mining areas, etc; The 12KV model focuses on upgrading the heavy load distribution network, providing ultra-high voltage assistance, and increasing the breaking current; The 20KV model focuses on high-voltage distribution network backbone and large-scale energy bases, with stronger insulation and breaking performance. There are significant differences in the rated voltage, insulation level, and structural dimensions among the three, and forced exchange can lead to equipment failure.

    Can this product be used for the backbone distribution network in large mining areas?

    Sure. This product can be customized with dust-proof and anti vibration reinforcement solutions, which can adapt to the harsh environment of high dust and vibration in mining areas. The rated voltage is 15KV and the breaking current is 40-50 kA, which is suitable for the load requirements of the main distribution network in mining areas. It can be responsible for the high-voltage power supply control and fault protection of the main ventilation fan, main drainage pump and mining equipment in mining areas, quickly cutting off the fault current, avoiding production interruption, and ensuring production safety in mining areas.

    What are the key points of daily maintenance? Does the fixed sealing pole type really need no maintenance?

    Daily maintenance focus: ① Clean and lubricate the operating mechanism every 6 months, check the energy storage status and transmission components; ② Regularly observe the appearance of the arc extinguishing chamber and check for any damage or crawling marks on the insulation cylinder; ③ Check the tightness of the wiring terminals to avoid poor contact. The core components of the solid sealed pole type have good sealing and do not require regular disassembly and maintenance. Only regular checks of the operating status indicator lights and monitoring data are needed, greatly reducing the workload of operation and maintenance.

    Does the product support reclosing operation and which types of faults are compatible?

    Supports reclosing operation, can preset one or two reclosing logics, and the reclosing time can be adjusted (0.5-3s). Mainly suitable for transient faults in medium and high voltage distribution networks, such as lightning strikes, instantaneous short circuits, poor contacts, etc., it can quickly restore power supply and reduce power outage time; For permanent faults, the circuit breaker will immediately open after reclosing to prevent the fault from expanding and adapt to the continuous power supply needs of medium and high voltage distribution networks.

    What special treatments are required for use in high-altitude scenarios?

    Customized enhanced insulation solutions are required for high-altitude (>2500m) scenarios: optimizing the thickness of the insulation cylinder, increasing the anti creepage distance, and strengthening the sealing of electrical components to avoid insulation performance degradation and arc extinguishing difficulties caused by high altitude and low pressure; At the same time, low-temperature resistant lubricating grease can be selected to adapt to the temperature difference changes in high-altitude areas, ensuring stable operation of the equipment in high-altitude environments without the need to replace the main structure.
