Under normal operation, the breaker’s main contacts remain closed, allowing uninterrupted current flow. During overload or short-circuit events, the thermal or magnetic trip mechanism activates. The spring mechanism ensures rapid contact separation, generating a controlled electric arc. This arc is immediately directed into the vacuum interrupter, where it is cooled, divided, and extinguished. This process isolates the faulty section, protects downstream equipment, and prevents damage to the overall system. The result is fast fault clearance, safe operation, and minimal maintenance requirements.

The vacuum circuit breaker adopts an integrated layout with epoxy resin insulated poles and a spring-operated mechanism, allowing for a simple, reliable, and highly visible operating structure. Each functional unit is clearly laid out, making inspection, maintenance, and operation straightforward. The breaker’s mechanical and electrical components are engineered for high durability, providing up to 30,000 mechanical operations and superior performance in frequent switching applications. Its fully insulated construction ensures safe operation in indoor environments, with IP4X protection against dust and other contaminants.
With over 40 years of experience in vacuum breaker technology, MINGTUO combines proven manufacturing quality with continuous R&D improvements. The design ensures maintenance-free operation under frequent switching, extreme temperatures, and high fault currents. Predictive monitoring capabilities further enhance reliability, allowing operators to schedule maintenance before issues arise, reducing downtime and operational costs.
