Schneider Electric HVX 12-50-12 Vaccum Circuit Breaker
Schneider Electric HVX 12-50-12 Vaccum Circuit Breaker
Product Description :
- It is a type of circuit breaker where the arc interruption takes place in a vacuum. It is widely used for medium-voltage applications (typically from 1 kV to 36 kV) due to its excellent arc-quenching and insulating properties.
-
The arc is quickly extinguished because the vacuum has no medium to sustain it.Metal vapor condenses rapidly, restoring the vacuum’s dielectric strength.
Product Specification :
- Rated voltage 12 kV – 17.5 kV – 24 kV
