The breaker adopts a self-blast SF6 interruption system that uses thermal expansion generated during high-current interruption to create efficient gas flow through the arc zone. For lower fault currents, a puffer-assisted mechanism ensures stable interruption performance across different operating conditions.
This optimized interruption technology reduces contact wear, improves electrical endurance, and ensures reliable operation throughout the service life of the equipment.
The control cabinet includes auxiliary switches, terminal blocks, and a temperature-compensated SF6 density monitor that provides alarm and lockout signals. The low-pressure protection function prevents breaker operation when SF6 density falls below the safe operating threshold.
The ground-level mechanism cabinet simplifies maintenance access, while SCADA-compatible interfaces enable remote monitoring and intelligent substation management.
Each 126kV Outdoor SF6 Breaker is tested before shipment to ensure reliable performance in real-world transmission applications.
