ZW32-40.5F (M) outdoor high-voltage intelligent (permanent magnet) vacuum circuit breaker
Project-focused selection
Quality-controlled supply
Export service
Overview
The ZW32-40.5F(M) outdoor high-voltage intelligent (permanent magnet) vacuum circuit breaker mainly consists of integrated solid-sealed poles, a current transformer, an operating mechanism, and a housing. A disconnecting switch can be added. This model of circuit breaker features a miniaturized design with a high-quality steel housing. The current transformer can be selected according to user needs.
This device is mainly used in medium-voltage overhead power grids for switching on and off load currents, overload currents, and short-circuit currents.
