MV AC Solid Epoxy Resin Insulated Vacuum Circuit Breaker

GENERAL DESCRIPTION

CKS series full encapsulation solid insulated vacuum circuit breakers, adopt the first full encapsulation structure and the latest solid epoxy resin insulating technology in the world, are in real sense solid insulated vacuum circuit breakers with high performance.

Internal structure of embedded pole is isolated from outside environment, not subject to ambient factors, such as dust, pollution, moisture or condensation, etc. The embedded pole is maintenance free. CKS series has high environmental adaptability and can run in adverse conditions.

With high performance, CKS series meet Class C2-E2-M2 requirements of Chinese National Standard GB1984-2003 and International Standard IEC62271-100, and other relevant standards.

CKS series passed a complete set of type test and other tests:
1. A complete set of type test
2. 5000m altitude test
3. Capacitor bank switching test
4. Grid performance test

CKS series has a full range of ratings and dimensions to meet different demand in industry.

The embedded pole of CKS series are made by special VULCANIZE process to create a cushion between the vacuum interrupter and the epoxy resin, ensuring a high reliability of the embedded poles

CKS series adopts advanced solid insulating technology for outer insulation of its vacuum interrupter, making it environmentally friendly.

• Embedded poles: The three embedded poles of the CKS units totally enclose the vacuum interrupter, both upper and lower outgoing terminals cast in epoxy resin in APG process, a very mature automatic pressure gelatinizing technology. This helps to reduce adjustment requirements, diminish possible damage to the VI during assembly and protect connecting bolts against shock during operation. Also, discharge of the terminals can be prevented due to special conductive copper part. The embedded poles, in epoxy resin with unique material, make features of aging resistance, low/high-temperature resistance. These features protect the VI of the CKS system against any harmful influences from the outer environment. No shock & damp, pollution, condensation, dirt or small animal can ever have a possibility to face the VI, whereas those are always the headaches for the second generation. These distinctive features also enable the embedded poles a greater operating reliability, and high adaptability to various environments. The poles of the CKS series become truly maintenance-free.

• Unique cushion bedding process: Since there is a great discrepancy of thermal expansion between the vacuum interrupter (which is enveloped with porcelain) and the epoxy resin (namely 1:10), that will certainly result in various troubles, for instance, cracking problems to the porcelain envelope or to the epoxy resin. However, the special VULCANIZE process is employed for CKS series to settle the above problems in this way: a special flexible bedding fills the spaces between the epoxy resin and the VI, creating a quality cushion that responds to all thermal expansions and contractions, protecting all applied material from any occurrence of aging or insulation degrading, and therefore ensuring the high reliability of the poles under various environmental conditions and the changes of them. This cushion also eliminates air gap between epoxy resin and VI, which may be ionized under high voltage electric field cause insulation or aging problem of embedded pole.
