Overview
The AB-3S-40.5 series outdoor pole-mounted permanent magnet vacuum circuit breaker is a new generation of pole-mounted intelligent vacuum circuit breaker developed by our company by integrating advanced technologies from home and abroad, drawing on the strengths of various sources, adopting a brand-new design concept, and utilizing high-tech methods. This product can be used as a switch for the main transformer outgoing line of a 35kV substation, or as a pole-mounted switch for the distribution network. Combined with various control units manufactured by our company, it can easily achieve control, protection, satellite monitoring, and communication, making it the preferred equipment for achieving distribution network automation and miniaturization.
