Product Introduction: ZW7-40.5 Vacuum Circuit Breaker
Product Features
The ZW7-40.5 series is an outdoor high-voltage vacuum circuit breaker designed for 40.5kV voltage level and suitable for three-phase AC 50Hz power systems. Its main features include:
1. High voltage level: The rated voltage is 40.5kV, suitable for medium and high voltage power systems.
2. Vacuum arc extinguishing technology: The vacuum arc extinguishing chamber is used, which has excellent arc extinguishing performance and can quickly cut off load current, overload current and short-circuit current.
3. Outdoor design: Suitable for various harsh environments, with high protection level and anti-pollution ability.
4. Wide temperature adaptability: The working environment temperature range is -45ºC to +45ºC, suitable for extreme climatic conditions.
5. High altitude applicability: The maximum installation altitude can reach 2500 meters, suitable for use in high altitude areas.
6. High reliability: The design meets the seismic level 8 and can operate stably in a strong earthquake environment.
7. Frequent operation capability: Suitable for occasions that require frequent opening and closing operations, such as rural power grids and industrial and mining enterprise distribution systems.

Working principle
ZW7-40.5 vacuum circuit breaker realizes the opening and closing of current through a vacuum arc extinguishing chamber:
1. Vacuum arc extinguishing chamber: In a vacuum environment, the arc is easily extinguished because the vacuum medium has extremely high insulation strength and arc extinguishing ability.
2. Operating mechanism: Through a spring operating mechanism or an electric operating mechanism, the contacts are driven to open and close quickly to realize the connection and disconnection of the circuit.
3. Protection function: It can quickly cut off the fault current (such as short-circuit current) to protect the safety of power equipment and systems.
Application scenarios
ZW7-40.5 vacuum circuit breakers are widely used in the following scenarios:
1. Substation: Used for the protection and control of medium and high voltage distribution systems.
2. Industrial and mining enterprises: Suitable for power distribution and protection of industrial and mining enterprises, especially in occasions where frequent operations are required.
3. Rural power grid: Used for power distribution and protection of rural power grids, adapting to complex environmental conditions.
4. High altitude areas: Suitable for areas with an altitude of no more than 2,500 meters, meeting the needs of high-altitude power systems.
5. Harsh environment: Able to operate stably in environments with high humidity, high pollution (anti-pollution level IV) and strong wind (wind speed ≤ 35m/s).
