Outdoor vacuum circuit-breakers of series BP35NS fitted with organosilicon and air insulation of poles (without transformer oil) and electromagnetic drive with using the concept of two-position magnetic latch are designed for switching HV electrical circuits in normal and emergency modes in three-phase alternating current networks of 50 (60) Hz frequency and 35 kV rated voltage with ungrounded or partially grounded neutral.
Circuit-breaker series BP35NS are used in 35 kV outdoor switchgears of modular transformer substations types KTPBR-220/35/10(6), KTPBR-150/35/10(6), KTPBR-110/35/10(6), KTPBR-М-35/10(6) and blocks of complete switchgears in railway traction substations as well as for extension of existing substations and replacement of outdated air and oil circuit-breakers at them.

Design
Circuit-breakers series BP35NS consist of four main parts, namely:
- a frame housing an electromagnet
- a cubicle housing control PCBs and a manual switch-off mechanism
- a supporting frame with four mounting holes
- a pole consisting of insulating envelopes with organosilicon insulation and vacuum interrupters
The pole of BP35NS circuit-breaker consists of vacuum interrupter, supporting covers, insulating tie-rod, upper and lower terminals, fasteners and parts for sealing the pole. Upper and lower parts of the pole are made of fibreglass pipe externally covered with finned organosilicon insulation.
