Core Product Features
1. Excellent Micro-arc Interruption, Stable and Long-lasting Operation
The 36kV Vacuum Interrupter for Fast Switching adopts high-vacuum sealing technology (factory vacuum degree better than 1.33×10⁻³Pa), combined with Cu-Cr longitudinal magnetic field contacts, with a current interruption value of <3A, achieving arc-free/micro-arc interruption, reducing contact erosion by 90%. The single-stage sealing process, combined with double leak detection, results in an annual leakage rate of <0.5%, a mechanical life of 30,000 cycles, an electrical life of 20,000 cycles, a 20-year warranty, and a failure rate of less than 0.006%, demonstrating outstanding stability.
2. High-Speed Response and Excellent High-Frequency Performance
Optimized mechanical structure adapted to high-frequency operating conditions, with an average opening speed of 1.5±0.3 m/s and closing speed of 1.1±0.2 m/s. Contact bounce and three-phase synchronicity are both ≤2ms, suitable for O-0.3(0.5)s-CO-180s-CO operating sequences. Imported 316L bellows combined with precise contact pressure design ensure accurate and controllable opening and closing actions, meeting the core requirements of fast switching.
3. Robust Insulation Structure, Resistant to Harsh Conditions
The integrated design of the ceramic shell and metal flange provides power frequency withstand voltage of 70/95kV (1 min) and lightning impulse withstand voltage of 170/185kV (peak value). It has passed multiple environmental tests and is suitable for pollution level IV. It can operate stably in harsh environments such as -45℃~+85℃, high humidity, and high altitude, with EMC Class 4 electromagnetic interference resistance and excellent corrosion and impact resistance.
4. Convenient and Controllable Operation and Maintenance, Strong Intelligent Expandability
Optional intelligent monitoring module is available, compatible with multiple communication interfaces, and seamlessly integrated into intelligent operation and maintenance platforms. The fully enclosed structure requires no frequent maintenance, reducing maintenance costs by more than 80%. It supports quick replacement and tool-free maintenance, perfectly compatible with mainstream 36kV fast switching platforms such as ABB and Siemens, offering strong compatibility.
5. Environmentally Compliant and Certified by Authoritative Bodies
Oil-free and SF6-free emissions meet environmental requirements. It is certified by ISO 9001:2008 and multiple international industry standards, and has been tested by authoritative institutions such as KEMA and the China Electric Power Research Institute. Optional CE and UL international certifications are available, providing reliable quality assurance.
