Description

Product Overview

Our 36kV Outdoor High-Voltage Vacuum Circuit Breaker is a robust AC three-phase switching device engineered for 50Hz power systems with a rated voltage of 36kV. Primarily deployed in rural and urban substations and 36kV distribution grids, it safely opens and closes load current, overload current, and short-circuit current to protect critical power infrastructure. Featuring porcelain insulation for superior anti-condensation, aging resistance, and temperature tolerance, this outdoor breaker delivers reliable performance in harsh environments. Compliant with IEC 62271-100, it is optimized for pole-mounted or substation applications, making it an ideal choice for global power grid operators, contractors, and bulk procurement projects.
Core Features
This 36kV outdoor vacuum circuit breaker is designed for durable, maintenance-friendly operation in outdoor power distribution systems. Its core features include:
  • Porcelain Insulation: Utilizes high-grade porcelain as the primary insulation material, offering excellent resistance to condensation, aging, and extreme temperatures for long-term reliability.
  • Compact & Reliable Design: Integrates a vacuum arc-extinguishing chamber, insulating rod, connecting rod, and three-pole epoxy pillar within a single mechanism casing, ensuring a small footprint and high operational stability.
  • Flexible Installation: Suitable for both pole-mounted and substation applications, with a robust structure that adapts to diverse outdoor deployment scenarios.
  • Weatherproof Protection: Equipped with a waterproof control box and built-in heater to prevent moisture buildup in the control room, eliminating performance issues in high-humidity environments.
  • Long Service Life: Vacuum arc-extinguishing technology minimizes wear and tear, reducing maintenance frequency and extending the product’s operational lifespan.
  • IEC Standard Compliance: Fully meets the requirements of IEC 62271-100, ensuring global compatibility and adherence to international safety and performance standards.
