A facility manager for a mid-sized industiral park is upgrading their 35kV switchgear station, planning to replace old oil breakers that need constant maintenance, and they typically order 6 of these at a time to cover two main feeders and four tie-line outputs — dimensoins being 310 by 681 by 638 millimeters or so, which fits standard indoor switchgear cabinets.
What it does is interrupt fault currents in 40.5kV, 50Hz distribution loops basically by drawing the arc into a vacuum interrupter, and for a 630A to 4000A rated current range, you'll have a mechanicla life of 10,000 operations give or take.
10000 operations is stated cycle, but in practice we see many units exceed 12,000 before contact inspection is needed, and the manual operation type — with a spring-charged mechanism — gives you positive local control for maintenance switching, though it's not meant for frequent daily toggling in heavy duty cyclical loads.
Breaking capacity here is designed for high-voltage circuit breaker class upstream protection, so it's better than molded-case breakers for 40.5kV solidly-grounded systems, but it wouldn't be your first choice for direct motor switching due to the duty cycle limits on the vacuum chamber — and we usually have stock for common ratings like 1250A and 2500A, but the 4000A version typically needs a 30-day lead time (depending on the order volume).
The certification list includes ISO9001, CE, and CCC, all factory tested, and our company supply a batch-specific COA with every shipment; the BCD curve is D-type for distribution, so don't expect C or B trip curves — that's by design for transformer inrush environments.
There's the about operating temperture form -10°C to +40°C, which is standard for indoor substations, and the insert/3-pole design means you slide it onto fixed contacts — no heavy cable lugs needed, something buyers with tight worker headroom really appreciate.
MOQ is typically 1 unit for stock models, but we can discuss larger quantities if you need a bulk order. Let us know your volume and we'll work out pricing.
Standard lead time is around 15-20 working days from order confirmation. For urgent orders, we can sometimes expedite — just check with us.
Yes, it's certified under ISO9001, CE, and CCC, and it meets IEC 60898 standards. We'll provide the certs with the shipment.
The D curve is designed for high inrush currents, like motors or transformers. It trips between 10-20 times the rated current, so it's ideal for heavy-duty power distribution.
Each unit comes in a sturdy wooden case with foam padding. Store it in a dry, clean place between -10°C and +40°C, and keep it out of direct sunlight.
