Description

Product introduction:

LW36-40.5 outdoor self-energy HV AC SF6 circuit breaker is an outdoor three-phase HV AC equipment used in electricity grids with altitudes of no more than 3000m, environment temperatures of no less than -40℃, local pollution classes of no higher than Class IV, and AC 50Hz/60Hz with maximum voltage of 40.5kV, it is suitable for the control and protection of HV supply and transformation lines in power station, converting stations, and industrial and mining enterprises. it can also be used as connection circuit breaker.

Main characteristic:

LW36-40.5 self-energy HV SF6 circuit breaker is equipped with advanced hot-expansion plus auxiliary pressure gas self-energy arc extinguishing technology and matched with new-type spring actuating mechanism, it has features such as long electrical endurance, small operating power, high electrical and mechanical reliability, high technical parameters, and moderate price. Lt’s main performance features are as follows:

  • High rated technical parameters:

rated current 2500A/4000A and rated short circuit breaking current 31.5KA/40KA/50KA.suitable for the opening and closing of large-capacity electricity grids.

  • High electrical reliability:

No-load line charging breaking ability and no-load cable charging breaking ability 50/60Hz dual-frequency C2,back-to-back capacitor bank breaking ability 50/60Hz dual-frequency C2, no re-breakdown;

Strong external insulation ability;, suitable for regions with 3000m of altitude or Class lV pollution.

  • High reliability of operating mechanism:

Mechanical endurance: separating and closing for 10000 times without replacing parts; can meet the user' s requirement of continuous running and little maintenance.

New type spring actuating mechanism has few components parts; overall high-strength cast aluminum frame and brake separating and closing spring; and centralized arrangement is adopted for the buffer, compact structure, reliable operation, low noise, and convenient maintenance; suitable for frequent operations.

  • Al exposed parts are made of stainless steel materials or hot-galvanized on the surface for high corrosion resistance.

  • Reliable sealing structure ensures the product annual leakage rates≤0.5%.

  • Four internally attached current mutual inductors for every phase can be installed on the circuit breaker. Microcrystal alloy and high permeability material are adopted for internally attached current mutual inductors. The accuracy of 200A and above current mutual inductors can reach up to Level 0.2 or 0.2S. Reliable electrical screening design is adopted for the cable coils of internally attached current mutual inductors to improve the electric field distribution of the mutual inductors and promote the internal insulation of the product. it can withstand 120kv and 5min working frequency withstand voltage test and the internal insulation is not interfered by the short circuit breaking working conditions, which makes it safe and reliable.

FAQ
Q: What are the differences between this product and similar products from ABB/Siemens?
A:

The LW10B \ lLW36 \ LW58 series products in the sample booklet are porcelain column SF ₆ circuit breakers based on the ABB'LTB series improvement, with voltage coverage of 72.5kV-800kV, using Auto Buffer ™ Self powered arc extinguishing technology or vacuum arc extinguishing technology, integrated spring/motor driven operating mechanism, supports various customized services, covering 40.5-1100kV full voltage levels, with outstanding modular design and strong customization ability, suitable for projects that require flexible adaptation to different power grid architectures. Made in China, with fast global service response speed, high logistics efficiency, and high reliability at a reasonable price.

Q: What are the core differences between live tank circuit breakers and tank circuit breakers?
A:
  1. The core differences between porcelain column circuit breakers and tank circuit breakers—two main structural types of high-voltage circuit breakers—lie in six key aspects.
  2. Structurally, porcelain column types are supported by porcelain insulation pillars, with open-layout components like arc extinguishing chambers and operating mechanisms. Tank types use metal-sealed tanks to encapsulate and highly integrate all core parts.
  3. For insulation, the former relies on porcelain pillars, air, or composite insulating materials; the latter combines SF₆ gas (or other insulating gases) with metal tanks.
  4. Arc extinguishing chambers are mounted on the top or pillars of porcelain columns for the former, while built inside metal tanks for the latter.
  5. In application, porcelain column types suit outdoor high-voltage distribution with a dispersed layout; tank types adapt flexibly to indoor/outdoor scenarios, especially space-constrained environments.
  6. Maintenance-wise, the former’s exposed components enable targeted repairs; the latter’s sealed structure reduces overall maintenance frequency but requires full inspections for local faults.
  7. Technically, porcelain column types offer intuitive structure and strong anti-pollution flashover performance, while tank types boast excellent sealing, high SF₆ insulation strength, and superior resistance to external interference.
Q: What is a live tank circuit breaker? What voltage level is it suitable for they?
A:

live tank circuit breaker is a structural form of high-voltage circuit breaker, which is characterized by the use of ceramic insulation pillars to support key components such as arc extinguishing chamber and operating mechanism. The arc extinguishing chamber is usually arranged on the top or pillar of the ceramic pillar. It is mainly suitable for medium and high voltage power systems, with voltage levels covering the range of 72.5 kV to 1100 kV. live tank circuit breakers are common control and protection equipment in outdoor distribution devices such as 110 kV, 220 kV, 550 kV, and 800 kV substations.
