Astonishing Difference between vacuum circuit breakers and vacuum contactor/VS1-12
high -voltage vacuum circuit breakers

Vacuum Circuit Breakers and Vacuum Contactors

Vacuum circuit breakers and vacuum contactors are similar in concept to air circuit breakers and contactors, but their arc-extinguishing units are enclosed in a vacuum environment. This design improves environmental adaptability and provides superior insulation and arc-extinguishing performance, leading to widespread adoption.


Vacuum Circuit Breakers

Vacuum circuit breakers (VCB) is a protective device designed to automatically or manually disconnect a circuit under fault conditions.

  • Functions:
    • Automatically opens to protect the circuit during faults (e.g., short circuits, overloads).
    • Manually operated to interrupt load currents as needed.
  • Features:
    • Provides robust protection for short circuits, overloads, and other circuit issues.
    • Used in high-voltage applications, particularly in circuits exceeding 110kV, often in combination with SF6 insulation.
    • Models include VS1-1212kV VS124kV VJG-24, and ZW32.

Vacuum Contactor

vacuum contactor is designed for repeated operations and can interrupt load currents but does not provide short-circuit protection.

  • Functions:
    • Withstands frequent mechanical operations due to its strong mechanical life.
    • Performs separation and holding actions upon receiving control signals.
  • Features:
    • Equipped with normally open and normally closed contacts.
    • Lacks short-circuit current protection, distinguishing it from circuit breakers.
