VD4 12kV Medium-Voltage Indoor Vacuum Circuit Breaker, 630A–1250A

The MINGTUO VD4 12kV Vacuum Circuit Breaker (VCB) is a medium-voltage indoor breaker designed to provide precise protection and control for three-phase AC systems operating at 50Hz, with rated voltages from 3.6kV to 12kV. Supporting rated currents from 630A to 1250A, this breaker is ideal for indoor switchgear installations in substations, industrial facilities, and commercial power distribution systems. Employing advanced vacuum interrupter technology, it ensures rapid fault interruption, operational reliability, and long-term safety.

 

Design and Construction:

Constructed with a spring-operated mechanism and a compact, modular layout, the VD4 breaker ensures efficient operation and straightforward maintenance. Epoxy resin insulated poles offer excellent dielectric strength and durability. The fixed or drawout trolley design allows flexible installation and easy access for inspection or maintenance. The mechanical structure provides fast and safe interruption of overloads and short-circuits, protecting both equipment and personnel.

 

Environmental and Installation Requirements:

Ambient Temperature: -5°C to +40°C, with 24-hour average ≤ +35°C. Operation at -10°C or -25°C requires prior confirmation.

 

Altitude: Installation sites up to 2000 meters above sea level.

Humidity: Maximum 50% at +40°C; higher humidity is allowed at lower temperatures. Monthly average relative humidity can reach 90% in wet months, with minimum temperature ≥ +25°C. Condensation caused by temperature changes must be considered.

 

Protection Class: IP30

Usage Category: Class A or B

Installation Category: Primary circuits ≤690V: category N; auxiliary/control circuits: category III

Installation Guidelines: Vertical tilt ≤5° (≤15° for mining breakers). Strict compliance with the manual is required for proper operation.

 

Operation Principle:

Under normal conditions, main contacts remain closed to allow continuous current flow. Upon detecting overcurrent or a short-circuit, the spring mechanism quickly separates the contacts, producing an arc contained within the vacuum interrupter. The arc is cooled and extinguished, safely isolating the faulty circuit and preventing damage to downstream equipment. This ensures high operational reliability and minimal maintenance needs.

 

Advantages and Features:

Competitive pricing with stringent factory quality control

Customizable housing options to suit specific installation requirements

Extensive production and installation experience, with professional guidance

Support for commissioning and selection to ensure smooth deployment

Reliable interruption of overload and short-circuit currents

Compact, modular design with durable insulation and IP30 protection

Compliance with IEC and GB standards for medium-voltage vacuum circuit breakers

 

Applications:

Indoor medium-voltage switchgear panels

Industrial plants requiring reliable MV protection

Commercial infrastructure including hospitals, airports, and data centers

Systems demanding frequent operation and low-maintenance solutions

 

Reliability:

The VD4 breaker is engineered for high operational endurance, offering maintenance-friendly design and long electrical lifespan. Its vacuum interrupters ensure safe arc extinction, low contact wear, and stable performance under variable environmental conditions, reducing downtime and operational costs.

 

Conclusion:

MINGTUO’s VD4 12kV 630A–1250A Vacuum Circuit Breaker provides safe, efficient, and reliable medium-voltage protection. With flexible installation options and robust performance, it is a key device for modern indoor switchgear applications in industrial, commercial, and critical infrastructure settings.
