VS1-12 Side-Mount Indoor High-Voltage AC Vacuum Circuit Breaker


The VS1 (ZN63A) side-mounted indoor high-voltage vacuum circuit breaker (hereinafter referred to as the circuit breaker) is an indoor switchgear device used in 12kV power systems, serving as a protection and control unit for grid equipment and power equipment in industrial and mining enterprises. Thanks to the unique advantages of vacuum circuit breakers, they are particularly well suited for applications that require frequent operation at rated working current or for circuits that need to interrupt short-circuit currents multiple times. The circuit breaker features an integrated design that combines the operating mechanism with the circuit breaker body, functioning as a fixed installation unit; moreover, fixed-type circuit breakers can be equipped with corresponding interlocks to meet the requirements of fixed switchgear such as HXGN cabinets.

Product Description


Product Overview

The VS1 (ZN63A) side-mounted indoor high-voltage vacuum circuit breaker (hereinafter referred to as the circuit breaker) is an indoor switchgear designed for 12kV power systems, serving as a protection and control unit for grid equipment and power equipment in industrial and mining enterprises. Due to the unique advantages of vacuum circuit breakers, they are particularly well suited for applications that require frequent operation under rated working current or for circuits that need to interrupt short-circuit currents multiple times.

The circuit breaker adopts an integrated design that combines the operating mechanism with the circuit breaker body, serving as a fixed installation unit. The fixed-type circuit breaker can be equipped with corresponding interlocks to meet the requirements of fixed switchgear such as HXGN.

Terms of Use

1. Ambient air temperature: -15°C to +40°C; (storage and transportation are permitted at -30°C).

2. Wind speed ≤ 35 m/s;

3. Altitude ≤ 1000 m;

4. Environmental Humidity: Monthly average relative humidity ≤ 90%; daily average relative humidity ≤ 95%.

5. Seismic intensity ≤ 8 degrees;

6. The surrounding air is not obviously contaminated by dust, smoke, corrosive or flammable gas vapors, or salt spray.

Note: For conditions beyond the above-mentioned normal operating environment, please consult with the manufacturer.

Main Features

1. The circuit breaker adopts a three‑column design with a phase spacing of 210 mm, featuring a compact external footprint that makes it easy to install inside high‑voltage switchgear such as XGN12‑12, and it can share the main busbar with load switches.

2. The operating mechanism is integrated with the circuit breaker, mounted on the mechanism side and arranged in a rear–middle–front configuration relative to the three-phase arc extinguishing chambers. The operating mechanism is easy to maintain, features a simple structure with few adjustment steps, and fully ensures the mechanical characteristic parameters of the arc extinguishing chambers. With a mechanical life exceeding 10,000 operations, the circuit breaker delivers high reliability, high stability, high safety, and minimal maintenance requirements.

3. Oil-free operation, no environmental pollution;

4. The vacuum arc extinguishing chamber uses copper-chromium contact material and a longitudinal magnetic field contact structure, offering advantages such as strong breaking capacity, high insulation strength, low current chopping, minimal burn damage, long electrical life, and maintenance-free operation throughout its service life.
