Vacuum Circuit-Breaker

Product catalog summary
Overview: The document outlines the technical specifications and operational guidelines for DRIESCHER indoor vacuum circuit-breakers, suitable for rated voltages from 12 kV to 38.5 kV and currents from 630 A to 2500 A. These breakers are designed for both auto-reclosing and manual operations.
Specifications: Circuit-breakers are categorized by rated voltage and current, with short-circuit breaking currents from 20 kA to 31.5 kA. They are designed for front-panel installation and comply with IEC 62271-1 standards, operating reliably in temperatures from -15°C to 40°C and altitudes up to 1000 m without insulation adjustments.
Design and Operation: Featuring a coil-spring energy storage mechanism, these breakers can be charged manually or electrically. They include overload blocking for protection and ensure a long service life with minimal maintenance. Operation can be manual or electric, with additional release mechanisms available.
Technical Data: Various models are listed with specific technical data, including rated voltage, current, short-circuit duration, and mechanical life. Motor-operated mechanisms are available for AC or DC systems, with details on consumption and charging time.
Maintenance and Accessories: Minimal maintenance is required, mainly visual inspections and occasional cleaning. Accessories include push-buttons, displays for breaker position and energy storage condition, and optional equipment like electric motors and auxiliary switches.
Applications: These circuit-breakers are suitable for flexible applications due to their compact design and high mechanical service life. They can be retrofitted quickly and are compatible with previous models, facilitating replacement and integration into existing systems.
Procedures and Requirements: Installation requires additional insulation and bar support. Circuit-breakers are equipped with press-in nuts M12 for mounting switchgear, with specified pole distances and model-specific dimensions.
Accessories: Include an emergency hand-crank for the energy storage mechanism and various trucks for switchgear applications. More accessories are detailed in brochure 785.
Product Range: The company offers a wide range of medium and low-voltage systems, including switchgear, circuit breakers, and accessories, along with services like maintenance, training, and thermography.
Additional Information: Dimensions, weights, and diagrams are non-binding and subject to change. Contact information for Elektrotechnische Werke Fritz Driescher & Söhne GmbH is provided.
