Vacuum circuit-breakers of series BP1 are specially designed for installation in SMU and switchgears of different types, both newly manufactured and out-of-dated ones.
Advantages
• simple design and efficient performance;
• enhanced functionality due to the presence of direct action current protection;
• no radio components, capacitors, processors and consequently no need in expensive self-diagnostics blocks;
• extensive mechanical lifetime (100,000 CO cycles);
• long-term warranty period of 4 years;
• maintenance-free;
• versatility (they can be used in AC and DC control circuits);
• possibility of manual routine and emergency switching off with both a shaft and stop push button.
Design features
- A new drive of the circuit-breaker has a mechanical latch safely fixing the circuit-breaker in the on-position and an opening spring enabling easy and safe routine and emergency switching off in remote and manual modes.
- This mechanical latch safely fixes the circuit-breaker in the on-position even in the case of applying strong force to the shaft lever. This makes impossible the unauthorised switching-off of the circuit-breaker when any force is applied to the interlocking and flag shaft.
- Thanks to the drive's space-efficient arrangement, the circuit-breaker has minimum overall dimensions and weight as well as a convenient access for maintenance of component parts.
