The arc-extinguish chamber is on the upper part and the mechanism is on the lower part. This structure is convenient for debug.
Complex insulating structure using air and organic material. Compact dimension and small weight.
Vacuum arc-extinguish chamber of Cutler-Hammer Company (USA) and domestic ZMD are both applicable for the VCB. Both two kinds of chambers extinguish arc by vertical magnetic field and featuring with low cut-off and good on-off capability with asymmetry.
Simple spring operation mechanism is free from maintenance within 10000 times of operations.
Lead-screw propeller, easy and stable operation and good self-locking capability.
