It handles up to 63kA of short-circuit breaking current, which is the maximum fault energy it can safely interrupt without destroying itself or the switchgear around it, and that 63kA rating puts it well above teh typical 25kA to 31.5kA you’ll see in most medium voltge distribution boards.

What this means in practice is you can spec this breaker for transformer secondary protection or large motor feeders drawing 4000A continuous without worrying about arc flash escalation during a bolted fault, though if your system only needs 630A you’re still fine since the VD4 series scales from that lower end up to the top current rating without a gap.

We’ve sold these mostly for 12kV and 24kV indoor substations where the client wants a draw-out unit for maintenance isolation, but the fixed version works too if you’re not planning to swap breakers often—just keep in mind weight goes form about 73kg for a small frame to 365kg for the 4000A unit, so you’ll need proper handling gear.

Ordering typically requires specifying the rated voltage (12kV, 24kV, 36kV, or 40.5kV), your continuous current (usually 630A, 1250A, 2000A, 3150A, or 4000A), and whether you need draw-out or fixed installation, plus the short-circuit rating must match your system’s prospective fault level—anything below 16.3kA is probably overkill, but we usually have stock for common configurations within 4-6 weeks.
We offer 12kV, 24kV, 36kV, and 40.5kV options. Just pick the one that matches your system voltage.
Yes, we can adjust the rated current within that range to fit your protection needs. Let us know the exact value you require.
Typically 4-6 weeks for standard models, but it may vary based on order volume and configuration. We'll confirm once you place the order.
Absolutely, each unit comes with ISO9001 certification and IEC/GB compliance test reports. You'll get full documentation for quality assurance.
We pack them in sturdy wooden crates to prevent damage during transit. Store in a dry, clean area at room temperature, avoiding moisture and dust.
