Technical Specifications

Why Choose Our 126KV High Voltage SF6 Circuit Breaker?

Compared with conventional oil circuit breakers and earlier generations of high-voltage switching equipment, the 126KV High Voltage SF6 Circuit Breaker offers significantly higher dielectric performance, faster interruption speed, lower maintenance costs, and longer mechanical life. The enclosed SF₆ interrupter minimizes environmental contamination inside the breaking chamber while maintaining stable insulation performance throughout years of operation.

Its modular pole design simplifies transportation and field installation, while the spring operating mechanism eliminates dependence on hydraulic systems, reducing maintenance complexity and improving long-term operational reliability. Multiple auxiliary contacts and monitoring interfaces are available for seamless integration into SCADA, digital substations, and modern protection systems.

Working Principle

During normal operation, the stored-energy spring mechanism keeps the moving contacts securely closed. Once a protection relay detects a fault, the trip coil releases the operating mechanism, separating the contacts inside the SF₆ interrupter. The compressed SF₆ gas rapidly cools and extinguishes the electric arc generated during contact separation, restoring insulation strength within milliseconds. This fast interruption minimizes equipment damage and maintains power system stability under overload or short-circuit conditions.

Typical Applications

• 110kV and 126kV transmission substations
• Utility power distribution networks
• Wind farms and photovoltaic power plants
• Hydroelectric and thermal power stations
• Mining and heavy industrial facilities
• Smart grid and digital substation projects
• Transmission line switching and protection

Installation Guidelines

• Install the breaker on a level and structurally reinforced foundation.
• Verify all incoming and outgoing conductor connections before energization.
• Check SF₆ gas density to ensure it meets the rated operating pressure.
• Confirm correct control voltage and wiring of auxiliary circuits.
• Perform opening and closing tests before commissioning.
• Maintain adequate phase clearance according to IEC installation requirements.
• Carry out routine inspection of gas density monitor, operating mechanism, and electrical terminals during scheduled maintenance.
