Product Overview
The ZW32-12(G)/630A series outdoor high-voltage vacuum circuit breaker (hereinafter referred to as "the breaker") is outdoor distribution switchgear with a rated voltage of 12 kV, three-phase AC 50 Hz.The ZW32-12(G)/630A series outdoor high-voltage vacuum circuit breaker is mainly used for breaking and making load current, overload current and short-circuit current in power lines; it has overload and short-circuit protection functions, meets control and measurement requirements, and also provides remote control and monitoring functions. It is widely used for control and operation in substation and industrial & mining distribution systems, especially suitable for places requiring frequent operation.The ZW32-12(G)/630A series outdoor high-voltage vacuum circuit breaker complies with technical standards such as GB1984-2003, DL/T402-2007 and IEC60056.
Type Designation

Normal Service Conditions
The overall structure is a three-phase post-type dry structure;
Fully enclosed structure with good sealing performance, good moisture-proof and anti-condensation properties, suitable for use in hot and humid areas;
Vacuum arc extinction with reliable insulation; breaking and making performance is reliable, with no risk of fire or explosion:
Closing/opening operations can be manual, motorized or remote; the operating mechanism is sealed at the bottom of the switch tank, effectively preventing rust caused by long-term outdoor exposure: ◇ The operating mechanism is novel in design, simple in structure, reliable in action and small in size, with a mechanism life of up to 10000 operations.
