Outdoor high-voltage AC intelligent vacuum circuit breaker
The ZW68 pole-mounted circuit breaker (12kV) supports manual/electric operation, can open and close currents, and is suitable for distribution systems and rural power grids.
Product Description
The ZW68 pole-mounted circuit breaker is a new outdoor switching device jointly designed by our company and the China Electric Power Research Institute. It is used for the control and protection of three-phase AC 50Hz, rated voltage 12kV distribution overhead lines. While meeting conventional user requirements, it is also suitable for frequent operation and harsh environmental conditions.

Product Advantages
Single-Phase Post
Single-phase independent post-type structure design.

Breakdown Voltage at Open Gap
At rated contact gap, the internal insulation of the open gap withstands 48kV power frequency voltage for 1 minute.

Direct-Acting Module
Direct-acting modular design.

Flexible Combination
Arranged horizontally and vertically with the embedded-pole vacuum circuit breaker, flexible modular installation.

Maintenance-Free Inside Enclosure
Fully enclosed in a housing, long mechanical life, maintenance-free.
