Definition:

The LW30 series Outdoor high-voltage SF6 tank circuit breaker is a specialized electrical switching device designed to interrupt high-voltage electrical circuits during fault conditions or for routine switching operations. It utilizes sulfur hexafluoride (SF6) gas as the arc-quenching and insulating medium contained within a sealed tank. This type of circuit breaker is specifically engineered for outdoor installations in electrical substations and power distribution networks.

Product Features:

1. High dielectric strength: The SF6 gas, with its exceptional insulation properties, allows for a compact design, instilling confidence in the circuit breaker's performance.

2. Superior arc-quenching capability: SF6 efficiently extinguishes electrical arcs, enabling fast circuit interruption.

3. Environmentally sealed: The gas is securely contained in a hermetically sealed tank, providing robust protection to internal components against environmental factors, ensuring peace of mind for the operators.

4. Long service life: The arc-quenching properties of SF6 gas result in minimal wear on contacts, ensuring a long service life and reliability.

5. Low maintenance requirements: Sealed design reduces the need for frequent inspections and maintenance.

6. High reliability: Consistent performance under various environmental conditions.

7. Compact size: Smaller footprint compared to air-insulated circuit breakers of similar ratings.

8. Silent operation: SF6 gas reduces operating noise compared to air blast circuit breakers.

9. Fast operating speed: Quick response to fault conditions, minimizing damage to connected equipment.

10. High short-circuit breaking capacity: Capable of interrupting large fault currents safely.

Working Principle:

The SF6 tank circuit breaker operates on the principle of arc interruption in a controlled SF6 gas environment. When a fault occurs or during intentional switching, the breaker contacts separate, creating an arc between them. The SF6 gas, under pressure, flows through specially designed nozzles around the arc. As the gas flows, it cools and de-ionizes the arc plasma, rapidly extinguishing the arc at a current zero crossing. The excellent dielectric properties of SF6 prevent arc re-ignition, effectively interrupting the circuit.

The breaker utilizes a stored energy mechanism, typically spring-operated, to provide the necessary force for rapid contact separation and closure. This mechanism can be charged electrically or manually, ensuring operation even in the absence of auxiliary power.
