ZW8‑12C Outdoor High‑voltage AC Auto‑recloser

The ZW8‑12C outdoor high‑voltage AC auto‑recloser is an outdoor distribution equipment rated at 12 kV, 3‑phase AC 50 Hz.
It consists of three main parts: switch main body, CH recloser controller and built‑in voltage transformer. The components are connected via aviation sockets and special outdoor control cables. It provides fault detection, control‑protection and communication functions.
Designed for pole‑mounted installation. When used together with a sectionalizer, this auto‑recloser enables distribution network automation without an external control system.
It can make and break load current, overload current, short‑circuit current and zero‑sequence current in power systems.
Functions include overload protection, short‑circuit protection, instantaneous tripping, zero‑sequence protection, and multiple optional reclosure operations. Local remote control and remote communication are supported. An isolating knife switch can be optionally fitted.

    Overview

    ZW8‑12 Outdoor High‑voltage AC Vacuum Circuit Breaker
    ZW8‑12 outdoor high‑voltage AC vacuum circuit breaker is outdoor distribution equipment rated at 12 kV, 3‑phase AC 50 Hz.
    It is designed for pole‑mounted installation. This switch is mainly used to make and break load current, overload current and short‑circuit current in power systems. It provides overload, short‑circuit and instantaneous over‑current protection. Either single‑side isolating knife switch or double‑side isolating knife switch can be optionally equipped.

    Product Features

    • Adopts vacuum interrupter for arc‑extinguishing
      The inside of vacuum interrupter maintains high‑vacuum condition, serving as insulating and arc‑extinguishing medium during live operation. When contacts separate under load via operating mechanism, vacuum arc is generated and quenches at current zero‑crossing to interrupt circuit current.
    • Adopts air‑silicone rubber‑epoxy resin composite insulation; high‑altitude version is available upon altitude requirements.
    • Fully enclosed in stainless‑steel or ordinary iron housing, featuring excellent sealing performance for explosion‑proof, anti‑condensation and anti‑pollution purposes.
    • Two‑phase or three‑phase protective, measuring or metering current transformers can be fitted inside the switch.
    • CT multi‑ratio options: standard ratios 50 100 150/5 A, 100 200 300/5 A, 200 400 600/5 A. Custom ratios can be configured according to customer load conditions. Protection class: 10P10; measuring & metering class: 0.2S, 0.2, 0.5.
    • Dry‑type voltage transformer can be installed internally to supply operating power and voltage sampling.
    • Flexible design with reserved interfaces for distribution network automation for future function expansion.
    With the development of smart grid, conventional switches require upgrading and extended functions. This switch can be fitted with recloser controller to realize automatic re‑closing.
    Electronic PT is optional; battery is charged from CT power supply. Energy‑storage and closing‑opening operations can be performed multiple times under power‑loss condition, and working voltage for external equipment can be provided.
    Built‑in metering CT & PT are available for remote prepaid function. Zero‑sequence CT can be added for earth‑fault protection with sectionalizer controller. Simple remote‑control operation is optional for local pole‑base control.
    • Optional isolating knife switch
      Reliable mechanical interlock between single‑side / double‑side isolating knife and circuit breaker: isolating knife cannot be operated when circuit breaker is closed.
      Housing material: stainless steel or ordinary iron.
    • Operating mechanism
      Equipped with CT23 spring mechanism, supporting manual and electric operation. Inrush controller is installed inside (2‑phase or 3‑phase according to CT quantity) to realize overload, short‑circuit and instantaneous protection. Current setting values and time delays are adjustable.
