Overview
The ZN63(VS1)-12 indoor fixed high-voltage vacuum circuit breaker is a three-phase AC 50Hz indoor switching device with a rated voltage of 12kV, intended for control and protection of industrial mines, power plants, substations and electrical installations, and suitable for frequent-operation sites. The operating mechanism and the breaker body are integrated; the design can be used as a fixed installation unit or with a dedicated trolley mechanism to form a withdrawable unit. The main circuit may adopt an integrally encapsulated pole to achieve a compact, highly reliable and maintenance-free breaker, and it can be fitted in KYN28A-12 (GZS) central-mounted withdrawable switchgear; the fixed type is also suitable for XGN series fixed switchgear. The ZN63(VS1)-12 vacuum circuit breaker offers a compact, maintenance-free design well suited to KYN28A-12 and XGN switchgear assemblies.
