Suitable for utilities, power plants, mining and industrial applications. Model: ZN63(VS1)-12 Breaking Capacity: 20 / 25 / 31.5 / 40kA

Dongfa Intelligent supplies 12kV Indoor Vacuum Circuit Breakers, critical switching equipment for indoor medium voltage distribution to make, break and interrupt fault currents. Built for 12kV, 50Hz power networks, the ZN63(VS1)-12 suits power utilities, power plants, mines and industrial sites, with flexible fixed or withdrawable mounting. Engineers select specifications from its 630A–4000A rated current and 20–40kA short-circuit breaking range while checking insulation, mechanical endurance and compatibility with existing switchgear to match project system requirements.

Core Advantages

For power engineering contractors, switchgear manufacturers, and equipment procurement teams, rated current is a fundamental parameter when selecting circuit breakers. ZN63(VS1)-12 offers:

  • 630A / 1250A / 1600A / 2000A / 2500A / 3150A / 4000A

Multiple current ratings cover medium-voltage distribution needs of different load levels, allowing specification selection based on project design capacity rather than being limited by a single rating.

Up to 40kA Short-Circuit Breaking Capacity

When a short-circuit fault occurs, the circuit breaker needs to reliably interrupt the fault current. The rated short-circuit breaking current of ZN63(VS1)-12 includes:

  • 20kA / 25kA / 31.5kA / 40kA

Up to 40kA. This allows the product to be matched to specifications for medium-voltage power distribution systems with different short-circuit current levels. For applications with high continuous operation requirements, such as power facilities, industrial production systems, mines, and power plants, a reasonable short-circuit breaking capacity is one of the key conditions for ensuring the normal operation of medium-voltage switchgear.

10,000 Mechanical Cycles

The rated mechanical life of ZN63(VS1)-12 reaches:

  • 10,000 Operations

For medium-voltage switchgear operating for extended periods, the circuit breaker does not perform only a single opening and closing operation. Equipment may require multiple mechanical actions during normal operation, system switching, maintenance, and fault protection.

42kV Power Frequency Withstand Voltage and 75kV Lightning Impulse Withstand Voltage

Product rated insulation levels include:

  • 1-minute Power-Frequency Withstand Voltage: 42kV
  • Lightning Impulse Withstand Voltage: 75kV

Clear insulation performance parameters help engineers verify electrical specifications during the project design phase.

For 12kV medium-voltage systems, in addition to the rated voltage, the insulation level is also an important technical basis for evaluating whether a circuit breaker is suitable for a specific system. Therefore, it is recommended to comprehensively confirm the system insulation requirements, installation environment, and matching switchgear during procurement.

Installation Options

Two structures to meet different switchgear configurations. The 12kV Indoor Vacuum Circuit Breaker is available in both fixed and withdrawable types.

Fixed Type

The fixed type is suitable for corresponding fixed installation schemes, with the product directly installed inside the switchgear. For indoor medium-voltage power distribution systems with a well-defined structure and fixed equipment layout, the fixed type offers a clear installation method.

Withdrawable Type

The withdrawable type is equipped with a movable base, facilitating the pushing and pulling of the circuit breaker within the corresponding switchgear. It is more suitable for projects requiring ease of inspection, maintenance, and equipment replacement.

When submitting an inquiry, provide the switchgear model, rated current, short-circuit breaking capacity, and installation dimensions. This will allow for more accurate confirmation of the circuit breaker configuration.
