Overview
The ZW32-12 outdoor vacuum circuit breaker (hereinafter referred to as the circuit breaker) is an outdoor power distribution device with a rated voltage of 12 kV and three-phase AC 50 Hz. It is primarily used for interrupting and closing load currents, overload currents, and short-circuit currents in power systems. It is suitable for protection and control in substations, industrial and mining enterprise distribution systems, and in rural areas where power grids are frequently operated. This circuit breaker features a compact size, light weight, condensation resistance, and is maintenance-free, making it suitable for use in harsh climates and polluted environments.
