Fuji Electric DC High-speed Vacuum Circuit Breaker

Fuji Electric DC High-speed Vacuum Circuit Breaker

Device features

  • Substation maintenance can be greatly streamlined

    With arcless circuit interruption, dramatic reductions in maintenance can be planned, and other maintenance-saving equipment and maintenance cycles can be synchronized.
  • Energy-saving features

    Low loss and low energy operation help to save energy. The dry capacitors used are incombustible and eco-friendly.
  • Large current interruption performance

    The high breaking capacity and faster opening time of the vacuum valve have achieved a 100 kA circuit interruption.
  • Total area interruption performance

    From large to small current, all current can be reliably interrupted. Large load current can also be securely turned on.
  • High operating reliability

    High operating reliability is achieved through redundant configuration of critical components, high noise-resistant design, as well as clarification of periodic replacement parts.
