Solutions

 

Innovative Design for Enhanced Performance

One of the distinctive design aspects of this switch is the transverse pole arrangement. It offers convenient access for installation and maintenance, and the closing spring-driven operation ensures efficiency. Arc extinction is executed by vacuum interrupter chambers (VI), with fractions of microseconds restoring the voltage between contacts.

Robust Construction

The circuit breaker consists of three poles fixed to the housing, all constructed with insulating material to allow embedding in cells with limited space. Each pole houses a vacuum arrester, a preloading mechanism, and current outputs.

Spring Drive Efficiency

Equipped with a spring drive with low current consumption, this design involves an electric motor, a switching spring, a breaking electromagnet, and other key components. It offers direct current operational power supply, with diode bridges installed for alternating current needs.
