Key features
1. Superior Seismic Resistance
Adopting a low-center-of-gravity design, the breaker can withstand an earthquake intensity of up to 9 degrees, ensuring stable performance in seismic-prone areas—consistent with the RHD series’ proven anti-seismic capability.
2. Excellent Arc-Extinguishing Performance & Long Service Life
Leveraging the high arc-extinguishing efficiency of SF6 gas, the breaker achieves a rated short-circuit breaking current of ≥50kA. It boasts an electrical life of more than 20 operations and a mechanical life of up to 10,000 cycles, significantly reducing equipment replacement and maintenance costs.
3. Low SF6 Gas Leakage Rate
The hermetic metal tank structure minimizes SF6 gas leakage, with an annual leakage rate of ≤1%—far below industry averages. This design not only avoids safety hazards from gas leakage but also reduces environmental impact.
4. Modular Design & Flexible Expansion
It supports on-demand configuration of built-in current transformers (CTs), with up to 15 CTs available for measurement or protection purposes. The standardized module interface allows flexible combination to meet diverse substation design and layout requirements, especially suitable for space-constrained scenarios.

It also resists wind pressure of 700Pa (equivalent to 34m/s wind speed) and icing thickness of up to 20mm.
6. Comprehensive Safety Protection
Equipped with anti-mis operation interlocking devices, it effectively prevents accidents caused by incorrect operations. Before delivery, the breaker undergoes lightning impulse tests to eliminate insulation discharge risks from production and assembly, ensuring reliable quality.
7. Maintenance-Free Operating Mechanism
It adopts a spring-operated mechanism that is oil-free, gas-free, and maintenance-free. This mechanism delivers stable performance, low noise, and high reliability, reducing long-term operational workload.

Application Scenarios
Large Hub Substations
Ideal for 220kV+ key hub substations, the customized RHD breaker controls and protects main power circuits. Its non-standard voltage adaptability ensures seamless integration into existing or upgraded grid architecture.
New Energy Grid-Connection Systems
Suitable for high-voltage grid connections in wind and solar power bases. Custom voltage ratings ensure reliable integration of renewable energy into the main grid, even in projects with unique voltage requirements.
Industrial High-Voltage Power Systems
Perfect for heavy industries (metallurgy, chemicals) with specialized voltage needs. The breaker’s robust performance and customizability guarantee stable power supply for high-power industrial equipment.
1. Select the circuit breaker corresponding to the voltage level based on the power grid level
The standard voltage (12/24/40.5/72.5/126/170/245/363/420/550/800/1100kV) is matched with the corresponding nominal voltage of the power grid. For example, for a 35kV power grid, a 40.5kV circuit breaker is selected. According to standards such as GB/T 1984/IEC 62271-100, the rated voltage is ensured to be ≥ the maximum operating voltage of the power grid.
2. Applicable scenarios for non-standard customized voltage
Non standard customized voltage (11/22/44/52/132/230/275/300/345/400/380/765kV) is used for special power grids, such as the renovation of old power grids and specific industrial power scenarios. Due to the lack of suitable standard voltage, manufacturers need to customize according to power grid parameters, and after customization, insulation and arc extinguishing performance must be verified.
3. The consequences of selecting the wrong voltage level
Choosing a low voltage level can cause insulation breakdown, leading to SF leakage and equipment damage; Choosing a high voltage level significantly increases costs, increases operational difficulties, and may also result in performance mismatch issues.
Integral Tank Structure: The breaker's arc quenching chamber, insulating medium, and related components are sealed within a metal tank filled with an insulating gas (such as sulfur hexafluoride) or insulating oil. This forms a relatively independent and sealed space, effectively preventing external environmental factors from affecting the internal components. This design enhances the insulation performance and reliability of the equipment, making it suitable for various harsh outdoor environments.
Arc Quenching Chamber Layout: The arc quenching chamber is typically installed inside the tank. Its structure is designed to be compact, enabling efficient arc quenching within a limited space. Depending on different arc quenching principles and technologies, the specific construction of the arc quenching chamber may vary, but generally includes key components such as contacts, nozzles, and insulating materials. These components work together to ensure that the arc is quickly and effectively extinguished when the breaker interrupts the current.
Operating Mechanism: Common operating mechanisms include spring-operated mechanisms and hydraulic-operated mechanisms.
Spring-Operated Mechanism: This type of mechanism is simple in structure, highly reliable, and easy to maintain. It drives the opening and closing operations of the breaker through the energy storage and release of springs.
Hydraulic-Operated Mechanism: This mechanism offers advantages such as high output power and smooth operation, making it suitable for high-voltage and high-current class breakers.
