MV Vacuum Circuit Breaker (VCB)

What is a vacuum circuit breaker?

A vacuum circuit breaker is a circuit breaker quenching arc in a vacuum medium. The on-off, on-off, and associated arc breaking operations with current contacts are carried out in the vacuum chamber of the circuit breaker, known as the vacuum circuit breaker.

Vacuum as arc extinguishing medium in circuit breaker is called vacuum circuit breaker because the vacuum has superior arc extinguishing performance so that it has high insulation strength. This applies to most standard voltage applications, as for higher voltages, vacuum techniques are developed but are not commercially viable.

The working principle of the vacuum circuit breaker is that once the circuit breaker contact is disconnected in a vacuum, the contact is ionized by the metal vapor in the contact and produces an arc. However, due to the rapid condensation of electrons, ions, and metal vapors generated in CB contact outside the arc, the arc is easily quenched, so dielectric strength can be quickly restored. The most important feature of a vacuum is that once an arc is created in a vacuum, it can be extinguished quickly due to the rapid increase in the dielectric strength of the vacuum.

Characteristics of vacuum circuit breaker

Compared with other types of circuit breakers, the insulation medium of vacuum circuit breakers has higher requirements on arc suppression performance. The pressure in the vacuum blocker is about 10-4 for the flood, which includes very few molecules in the blocker. This circuit breaker basically has the following two characteristics.

Compared with other insulating media used in circuit breakers, the circuit breaker is a superior insulating medium. It is superior to other media except for SF6 and air because these media are used at high pressure.

Application of vacuum circuit breaker

A vacuum circuit breaker is currently recognized as the most reliable medium voltage switching current interruption technology. It requires minimal maintenance compared to other circuit breaker technologies.

The technology is mainly suitable for medium voltage applications. For high-pressure vacuum technology has been developed, but it is not commercially feasible. The vacuum circuit breaker is suitable for both metal-clad switchgear and ceramic clad circuit breaker.
