Product Description
Vd4 Indoor Vacuum Circuit Breaker
Description
VD4 series medium voltage vacuum circuit-breakers with lateral operating mechanism feature the separate pole construction technique.
VD4 vacuum circuit breakers have been designed for indoor use and air insulated switchboards.
Their switching capacity is sufficient to handle any conditions arising from switching of equipment and system components under normal operating and fault conditions, particularly short-circuits, within the parameters of their technical data. The vacuum circuit-breakers of type iVD4, designed in column form, can be supplied both as individual units for fixed installation and mounted on chassis. Vacuum circuit-breakers are characterized by their simple and robust construction. They have a long life expectancy. There is no adverse effect on the vacuum, even from frequent switching of operating and short-circuit currents.
Advantages
Vacuum circuit-breakers have particular advantages for use in networks where there is a high switching frequency in the working current range and/ or where a certain number of short- circuit breaking operations are expected. iVD4 vacuum circuit- breakers are suitable for auto reclosing and have exceptionally high operating reliability and long life. The circuit- breakers are notable for their compact design, small dimensions together with high capacity. The operating mechanisms have a low maintenance requirement and the interrupters are maintenance- free throughout their service lives. They are well suited to all load breaking operations which occur in practice, and in particular:
Fields of application
Below is the list of SM6 range units used in MV/LV transformer substations and industrial distribution substations:
